四合院的轉變 The transformation of siheyuans (historic residence) / 中國北京 Beijing, China / SML.20140503.6D.31961.P1
While siheyuans (四合院) used to be residences for a single household, these days many have been converted as low-rent housing near the city. Pictured is one such converted residence, with clothes being hung dry right in the front porch. Bicycles line up the block. Red fortune writings on the walls. Circuit boxes installed to provide electricity for the households.
Photographed with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM during a hutong rickshaw ride near the Liuhai Hutong (劉海胡同) in Beijing, China.
