Welcome to Machu.  Actually this is the view you see as you leave Machu, the enterance side of the gate offers a message in Chinese.

I was only in Machu for two days, but it seemed like they were tearing the entire city down, brick by brick, using nothing but their own muscles.  Everywhere I looked things were under construction or deconstruction, most often the later.

Machu has city officials, business men, politicians, etc. just like any town and for once, I actually took a photo of one of them!

People really do wear these glasses!  They are made from glass, not plastic and are quite heavy. Ground by hand, of course.
