| In Chongqing (aka Chungking) there are statues at each corner of this fairly new bridge. Each one represents one of the seasons. The fact that this figure was so scantily dressed caused quite a stir when the bridge was built, our local guide Mr. Lee told us. He added that these days, however, anything goes. |
|
| Apartments, both fancy to the upper right and not so fancy, in Chongqing. |
