New buildings, lining a new street in Chengdu, within the style of old China. Some techniques, where woodcarving and ironwork are concerned, follow in the old style, however, some new materials have also been employed. The whole street begins with an ornate gate and ends at a t-junction beyond which is a river. This is the most pristine area of town and most decorative. At night, sometimes, large red paper lanterns are hung from finials and cornices illuminating features of the street. It was an overcast day. The image was scanned and levels were adjusted. The colours are reflective of the original.
