I snapped these doorways in the Yuyuan Garden in Old Shanghai. Each one beckons the visitor into the peace of the gardens, which were established in 1559 as a private garden created by Pan Yunduan, to please his father, Pan En, a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty. The gardens had fallen into disrepair and were almost completely destroyed by the British during the Opium Wars.
Enjoyed browsing through your blog! I love doorways too….did a post recently on doors and doorways!
I saw your doorways and really like them. Your images make me want to get out there and find more of these interesting doors.
