Share a group of old photos of Hangzhou in 1925. Let’s take a look at the Zhaoqing Temple a hundred years ago. The photographer is Ma Zhi
In 1925, the American bride and her new husband (Ma Zhi), who had lived by the West Lake when they were young, came to Hangzhou for their honeymoon. As a scholar of art history, the bridegroom Ma Zhi left 67 old photos and a 26000 word diary for the West Lake at that time while wandering in the mountains and historic sites

马尔智关于昭庆寺的记录文字:
7月18日,星期六
昭庆寺,一个水寺三面墙
今天下午,我们出门前去孤山玩,沿途在昭庆律寺逗留了一下。在寺院前面有一个水池,三面都围着红墙,我们从水池上的石桥走过去,来到了寺院的大门口。寺院的右侧被士兵们占用,但是有一位僧人从侧门向我们示意,可以入内。按惯例门上画有四尊门神的像,只是形体显得特别巨大,还有一尊笑盈盈的阿弥陀佛像。
