Snapshots of NW China's Linxia Hui autonomous prefecture

Flowers and trees bask in the sunshine in a yard of the Dongong Villa in Linxia county of the Linxia Hui autonomous prefecture, Northwest China's Gansu province, Aug 4, 2013. Once it served as the residence of Ma Buqing, vice-commander of 40th Group Army of Kuomintang during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937-1945), it has now become a famous tourist spot in the county.
