Description

Back in the days when Beijing was called Peking, the southern capital of China, Zhaoqing, was called Canton. For those of us in the West, we often see Cantonese as either a cuisine or the language of Hong Kong. I happened to come across this ancient mansion whose history I am attempting to discover more of. I hope you enjoy the architecture of this mansion as much as I did taking the shot.
