Hutong Door :: Beijing

Some of the old traditional housing in this area has some wonderful architecture and whilst the buildings are often old, scruffy, dirty or just falling down, you also find this type of front door proudly standing.

Red China :: Beijing and Bicycles

This is my first image from Beijing taken yesterday whilst out walking around looking for  Tian An Men Square.  The scene of bikes against the red wall is just so Chinese and cool.

Door Handles II :: Xujiahui

This next series of doors and locks show the bright and bold colours being used on the facades of businesses around Asia.  Most of these pictures were taken in Malaysia, in the Chinatown area of Kuala Terengguna, although I will probably go looking for more doors and handles again in Shanghai very soon!
