I'm an architectural historian in Beijing. The reason why I built, and I'm still building, this collection of photos of Chinese ancient architecture is that I want to stimulate discussion about the protection and care of our ancient relics and heritage. Most of the buildings are in really bad condition and have suffered wide domestic and international ignorance for centuries. If you want to share ideas about the public education of Chinese ancient architecture, please email to me:

Is it place of a ruined temple?

got it. Thanks. Here is more details.

it is very sad... and it's probably the most important one in the village.


Thank you Claus.

The horseshoe gates are called Moon Gate in Chinese. They are actully quite common in China especially during Ming and Qing Dyansties in the traditinal courtyards and gardens.

Thank you again for your concern about my photos and Chinese ancient architecture.

Best regards, Cui Jinze
