March Trip to China 6: Su Shi Red Cliff Museum

Su Shi was a famous poet of the Song dynasty. In Huanggang (right next the amusement part) there's a museum dedicated to him. It was, rare for China, almost totally deserted. Also in fairly bad repair, but still an interesting place to visit.

Just a few small images from the place.

There was a room with many stone carved poems and paintings. This is a "longevity window" in the wall, together with the reflections on the protective glass.


A sealed door; probably the complex used to be even bigger but the rest is sealed off. Falling into complete disrepair, I suppose.


A table and chairs being slowly uprooted by the nearby tree...
