Topic: Pailou in Hanyang (Wuhan in Hubei), on the Yangzi river

Action: Stone pailou at the top of the steps of a landing place. It opens into a street. Sampans are grounded on the steps and behind the pailou. A junk rudder lies on the right against the pailou’s right. On the left, food is drying on a string.

Image Particulars: The former cities of Hankou, Hanyang and Wuzhang, in Hubei, are now amalgamated as the city of Wuhan. / At Wuhan the water level of the Yangzi River varies strongly between winter (low) and summer (high), which explains the high bank.
