The squat position is very popular here in China, which is something I cannot understand. For me, squatting is quite uncomfortable, yet people in China use it as a resting position. On the same day I took this photo at 798 district, I saw a women conducting what seemed like her banking/paperwork in a squat position.
The other significant point about this photo is the quality of light. You may have noticed that a lot of the photos taken have very flat light, mainly because it is rare for the sun to break through the haze/pollution, so what you end up with is diffused light that does not produce shadows (or very interesting lighting for photos). The day we were at 798 was a great day with blue sky, clouds and sunlight. You start missing your shadow after a while!
