Guoqing Road and Shengqiao Road / Brick tiles, winding corridors, and flowers, is the typical look to the Shengqiao area that marks its age / In the deep alleys of Shengqiao, one can still find the Yangzhou old town atmosphere mixed with the developing city / The Shengqiao Road is one of the few streets lined with pebbles / In addition to the most prestigious “Fuchun Tea House”, the “Yangzhou three knives” on the side streets are also very well known and host lots of tourists on a daily basis / From the noisy Guoqing Road to Shengqiao Street, one could hear striking sound of metals as well as the conversations between the sallers and customers recommending which knives to buy. It feels like entering a another world //
About this Album:
Chen Zhen records the beautiful city of Yangzhou. As is typical of many Chinese cities, old and new are juxtaposed forever evolving the soundscape of the city. Chen Zhen immaculately records the historic and main elements of Yangzhou, capturing the boats on the Grand Canal, shopkeepers selling their wares, and general dancing of cars and people.
