A Walk Through the Derelict Property Next Door
A Walk Through the Derelict Property Next Door
It was still a dreary day in Chengdu, China. The building seems to have been a church or a large restaurant but the gardens are overgrown and the fountains and pools dry. It’s possible that this property will be developed into yet more huge apartment buildings, but I doubt that it will be started while we are still here. We intend to move in January, either closer to downtown or to Chongqing, which is my wife's home town.
1. The walkway in past planters that have not been cultivated for years.
2. Looking into the windows - nothing to be seen inside.
3. Tropical palms abound.
4. Reflecting pools totally dry. Boardwalks (see on left) have broken boards here and there.
5. The tower, which is not attached to the building, is what made me think it could have been a church, although the spire at the top is not, and does not seem to have ever been a cross.
6. The gardens were unkempt.
7. The fountain has not seen water for many a year.
8. And at the entrance next to the street, probably the only house in China I can afford to buy.
