China Spring 1988
Scenes from a China in 1988 (pre the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989) looking very different to how it appears today. Very few Westerners or private cars around (even in Beijing), plenty of bicycles, courtyard houses and most people wearing Zhongshan (Mao) suits and caps in blue and green! | |||
