Behind the walls: Zhujiang's urban village Xiancun

GUANGZHOU,CHINA - MARCH 3 : A man sits on a rock near demolished residential buildings in Xiancun, an urban village in the Zhujiang New Town district of Guangzhou as high commercial and residential buildings rise in the distance on March 3, 2016 in Guangzhou, China. Xiancun is one of the most notorious old villages still visible in Guangzhou's city center today. Standing for hundred of years, the settlement was forced to blend into the urban landscape after Chinas economic reform started in the 1980s. Shadowed by the high rises of Guangzhou's most modern district, this impoverished neighborhood carries on, forgotten. (Photo by Zhong Zhenbin/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
