Quanzhou Park

Quanzhou Park

East of the ancient region of Nanyue, there was a city that the Song Dynasty called Saitan. . . This is where Marco Polo was able to leave from during the Yuan Dynasty after his many years in Kublai Khan’s court. . .

This small set is of a park that has been created using buildings that were deemed too nice to destroy, but in the way of modern progress. So, instead of destroying everything in the path of rapid urban growth, these houses were picked up in their entirety, then placed in a safer area in Jinjiang, just west of the city’s center.
