For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.
The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!

Oh cool, I just visited Guilin in June. We did the river tour and really enjoyed it. I liked how it's a smaller city, by Chinese standards (pop. about 2 mil). More relaxed than say, Chengdu or Beijing and so beautiful.
Oh wow, they have big boats now... When I was there it was all 3 person bamboo rafts, haha
Amazing ... it must have been surreal to see it from this vantage point
