wow you have really blown me away with these simply stunning photos of old China. I have never even had an interest in seeing it but I had no idea that such places even existed. Your photography is beautiful
cheers
Awesome pictures and I am so glad you shared these. One can’t imagine this unless you have been there.
Beautiful photos! I’ve never been to China. Now I want to go!
Thanks Ellen, do you design logos?
Beautiful photos! I had no idea these places even existed, thanks for sharing 😀
Wow! I’ve never seen a China like this in pics. Your pics are absolutely stunning and when China has never been on the top of my list, it’s creeping up there now. Wow! just Wow!
lovely , never-seen-before pics. like the others i had alos never seen this side of china.
a few pics reminded me of the Damdoen Saduak Market of Bangkok, and the backwaters of Kerala. but this is an entire town. they say when you write about travel, try and explore the city like never before… you did exactly that.
Beautiful photographs. I didn’t know that China has towns with canals, like Italy. They look picturesque, if a little sad.
