It's getting dark. The small county town in the Northwest isn't much different from most small county towns in the country, with ordinary streets, occasionally seeing buildings that rise ten stories high.
Some are quite grand, luxuriously decorated, clearly built as entertainment venues for the nouveau riche.
The rest are just ordinary buildings, chaotic, seemingly unplanned. The so-called prosperity is just the shops on both sides of the road still open for business.
The Northwest has always been a barren place, except for the Guanzhong Plain, this rich land, and the imperial land of Chang'an, the ancient capital of ten dynasties. There's nowhere else that leaves a lasting impression.
As the political center of Huaxia shifted to Yanjing, the Northwest has fallen behind the highly developed eastern coastal areas.
However, in recent years, due to the full implementation of the western development, the situation has improved a lot.
