Going Shopping, a photo from Beijing, North

Photographer's Note

Ever thought of going shopping in China? There may be a special on old hair pins or yellow flower pots on sale here. But this market has a variety like none other. Punjiayuan, the Ghost Market in South Beijing. Most original owners perhaps have passed on and are now Ghosts - one never knows what one might find. For the past 15 years coming here I have collected a "mess" of stuff. Then mostly real antiques, today nice fake ones and a few still older than me.

Hello David,
and Happy New Year! :)
Oh well, I have never thought of going shopping to China! But maybe now I should take this idea into account :)
I like this street "mraket" scene! Very interesting to know something else about the daily life and people in this faraway country!
Kind regards,
Elena
