this is a little further away
from the main old street
yet it is definitely worth the walk
built in 1887
well preserved Chao Zhou
stone and wood carving
roar
the dengue campaign banner is blocking
my view from snapping photos
the stone carving outside
it used to be colorful i guess
but would rather it stays this way
instead of repainting it with glossy colours
the building itself isn’t big
a basic courtyard before the main hall
i am crazily in love with
this idea of a courtyard
like basking under the sun
yet still in your very own compound
typical anti-socialist type of
outdoor fun
too bad for the interior
the furniture are no longer there
it’s pretty sad to be greeted by
a wooden shelf printed on paper
in the main hall
the essence is all on top
yet thank goodness
they did some blown-up of
the carving and provide
explanation on the signifance
most of these came from
classical folktales
i guess the caretakers must be pretty amused
none of the folks spent more than
10 minutes in here
rough idea of where is it
it is quite offbeat from
the main Paifang Street
