The front of an old building, with lamps in different colours hanging in front of it. You can see right through the front door and a back window to a garden where more lanterns hang. There are no people visible.

The interior of the inn. A table stands in front of the bar, with bottles of wine and wine cups abandonedon it. A row of lanterns hangs from the ceiling.

Me sitting at the table in the inn, holding a large ceramic bottle of wine up to my mouth.

Maybe you’d have other ideas about what I got up to there.

Me standing behind the counter of an old-fashioned inn, with blue and red ribbons decorating the front, and wooden signs with menu items painted on them in gold hanging down from the ceiling.

Me holding up a scroll with an abstract diagram on it in blue and red, leaning on the inn counter from the first picture.

Would you believe me if I told you I found an abandoned inn, with a mysterious martial arts scroll inside it?

Art Deco buildings and the decorative metal wall of a bridge.

Buildings on the Bund, their lights reflected in the wet pavement.

Advertisements and neon lights on a theatre. In the foreground is an electric buggy driven by some tourists.

Buildings lit by multicoloured neon lights with Chinese writing. A tram waits at a stop. In the bottom right corner, two women in evening dress walk away from the viewer.

Republic-era Shanghai by night.
