Antique Walking Street

Dongtai Lu

Most days we go about things forgetting where we live and what's around each corner.

It was a sunny Sunday, so we decided to visit a cultural cornucopia; Shanghai's Antique Walking Street.

There is ample opportunity for learning from a short walk around.

Weaving skills from men making beds...

 

...costume, clothing and tapestry...

 

 ...instruments & music...

...religion & ritual...

 

 Buddha Busts & Prayer Beads

..and loads of Chinese politics & history...
