An-ting Mên Street [Beijing]. Photographer: Mennie, Donald
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Urban Topographical Photography
View from the city wall looking down onto the busy street below: 'The An-ting...gate is the western gate in the north wall. It is the gate which was occupied by the Allies in 1860; but the street as they looked down on it was very different from the view here given. One-third of the road is macadamised, and there are at each side brick gutters two feet deep. At each side a third of the broad way is left soft as the whole used to be, and is thick dust in dry weather, and deep mud in the rainy season. Carts, camels, etc., are restricted to the use of the sides, while motor cars, rickshaws, chairs, etc., travel in the middle portion. It will be observed that the architecture on a fine straight street like this is far from imposing.'
