More Anhai “Modern” Homes
Posted by Mark Baker under 2006 Trip to China , Anhai, Jinjiang , Fujian ProvinceNo Comments
In Anhai’s Architectural Face-Off: Old vs. New, I shared a few photos illustrating the revolution underway in the town’s home designs, from stone shacks to mini-palaces.
Here are shots of a few more residences I spotted that effuse modernity. Even their own garages in a few cases, and though you can’t see it well (I peeked over the wall but didn’t cop a photo), the courtyard in the fourth photo below includes a large goldfish pond, some rock sculptures and carved statues, a nifty stone pathway, bonsai trees, and more.
In other words, this is not your Grandfather’s China!
(Well, unless your grandfather happens to own a factory or stone quarry around Anhai, that is.)
