Ancient Structures

This photo was taken at Dajing Alley(大井巷)in Hangzhou.

Dajing Alley :There is a 1000-year-old big well in this alley. Most of the structures are built by bricks and timber,and they have existed for more than 350 years.

There are four special reports about protecting ancient structures in the latest magazine "Outlook Weekly". I'm pleased to see that so many people are trying their best to protect them.

Many antique buildings were already destroyed in order to build modern cities. It's time to save and repair the rest of them properly now!

As a historical culture city, Hangzhou has lots of characteristic ancient structures too, and the city government has protected them in these years.
