Every few days, the local newspapers and Liuzhou Television announce which areas are to have their electricity cut off at what time. The city, like most of China, is very much short of power. Homes, shops, schools, factories etc are frequently in the dark.
That doesn’t prevent them from wasting huge amounts. The city centre is rarely cut off and certainly not at night when the whole place is ablaze with lights.
So, here is a short film of downtown Liuzhou at night which I put together last night, May 1st 2008. Enjoy.
