The Last Look at Old Nanjing: Walking in "Hehuatang" Before Renovation 🏚️ | 4K HDR ｜南京门西荷花塘

Описание: This is not a tourist spot. This is the real, raw, and vanishing side of Nanjing.

Welcome to "Hehuatang" (Lotus Pond) and "Laomenxi" (Old West Gate), the oldest residential area in Nanjing. These narrow alleyways, peeling walls, and community wells have witnessed centuries of history.

Soon, this area will undergo major renovation. I took my camera to document the authentic lifestyle here one last time before it changes forever. 🏚️

🏮 Highlights:
The chaotic yet charming "Spaghetti Wires" (overhead cables)
Locals chatting by the ancient well (Tongxiang Gongjing)
The contrast between old ruins and modern life
Hidden residences of famous historical figures (Generals, Scholars, Architects)

This is a 4K HDR 60fps immersive walking tour. Best viewed on an HDR-supported screen (TV/Phone) for the full experience.
