Manhole Cover Report from Lanzhou, China

Hello DMC,

Greetings from Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province in West China. It is located on the Yellow River and was a major hub along the Silk Road.

Here are some manhole covers that I was able to photograph while walking around in -12 C [10 F] weather.
