Die Hintergrundgeschichte
Forced open by the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, this muddy towpath became the core of the British settlement. Wealth from opium, tea, and silk built these Gothic and Art Deco masterpieces over a century.
Geheimtipp
"Arrive at 6:00 AM before the tour buses. You will witness an ephemeral layer of the city: elderly locals practicing Tai Chi and painting giant, temporary water calligraphy poetry on the paving stones."
