水井坊 Shuijingfang District, 成都 Chengdu – door detail

Published on July 6, 2009, by in Architecture, Old Chengdu.

what remains – Shuijingfang, Chengdu Summer School started today. Thankfully, it wasn’t unbearably hot. We had an opening ceremony with the 82 students, then moved outside for a group photo. Finally, there were 3 short classes for the teachers to introduce their subjects. I’m the reading teacher, and I was unpopular because I gave them their first homework. The teaching day was mercifully short, but much of the rest of this week will be 8-hour days at the summer camp, which is 30 minutes away at the new campus. Tweet This Post

Some urban landscapes are simply works of art. I discovered this amazing set of metal doors on the fringe of one of the city’s “blue zones.” Tweet This Post
