A collection of black-and-white historical photos, capturing personal memories and untold stories from China's colonial past.

Stories Beyond the Monuments

This journey isn’t just about architecture—it’s about the people who lived through history. Walk with a local who will share how this past is taught, remembered, and felt today. Hear personal family stories—perhaps about ancestors who survived wartime hunger, fought in resistance movements, or witnessed the rebuilding of a nation. History is no longer distant; it’s alive in the memories of those who still tell its tales.

A fascinating tour that dives deep into an often-overlooked aspect of history

A fascinating tour that dives deep into an often-overlooked aspect of history. The balance between architecture, politics, and social changes was perfectly presented. I left with a much better understanding of how colonial history still influences China today.
