I found some interesting pictures from BBC News. And there are some descriptions also. I hope you can enjoy the photos. These photos taken by John Thompson

↑In this photograph, also taken in Xiamen, Mr Thomson - and early pioneer of photography - is picctured himself with two imperial soldiers.

↑Some Chinese women used to have bound feet, which were crushed to make them look more "beautiful". Here a bound foot is photographed with a natural female foot.

↑This young woman was photographed in city of Guangzhou in southern China. Mr Thomson used his photos to educate British people about the country.

↑A view of a fashionable area of Macao, which was a Portuguese colony until 1999. Mr Thomson was based in the neighbouring British colony of Hong Kong. The exhibition takes place at Beijing World Art Museum until 18 May.

↑Rare 19th Century photographs of Chinese life have gone on display in Beijing. John Thomson, a Scottish photographer who visited China from 1868-72, took them.

↑This is a missionary-run school in Beijing. Most of these schools were devoted to teaching religion and classic Chinese texts.

↑Mr Thomson also took photographs of family scenes during his visits. This is a noble lady with her daughter-in-law and grandchildren in Beijing.

↑Foreign visitors to China in thd 19th Century were sought out by antique dealers, such as these in Beijing.

↑This is the approach to a Ming Dynasty emperor's tomb in the Chinese capital of Nanjing.

↑In this image of a married couple from Xiamen, a port city in south-eastern China, the husband is looking away because at the time it was thought improper for a couple to face each other.
