Well Foz, I just looked up 'baoji, shaanxi' on Google Image, and one of the first pictures you can see is what I can only describe as some chisel-faced old mahjong player driving a dilapidated lawn-mower (which has been turned into a convertible) through an old city blockade with two 1920's-esque showgirls angrily being towed around on back.
Very.... Interesting......
