Old Home of Chen Ci Hong (陈慈黉故居)

@Rags: Thanks for stopping by. This is in the city of Shantou in southern China. It's definitely worth a visit, though I haven't a clue how to get there except by driving for what seemed like an eternity and yet never actually leaving the city.

Southern Chinese architecture is my favorite of all Chinese regions. This one seems well-preserved. Nice peaceful shot.

The story of this place would be interesting! Ghosts might still be wandering at night through these endless corridors.

Excellent compo and colours, and again the lighting is perfect. I love the little bit of motion of the lantern too.

Old places like these make wonderful photo op's. You have capture it well. I like this series of "old" photos.

Again, it is the red lanterns that set this to life . . I love the long vistas you show us.

Nice sense of depth. I enjoy the contrast of the new red against the crumbling wall. As usual you caught nice contrasting textures as well.
