1943 Chongqing Old Photo Wanxian Three Gorges Diaojiao Building

The old photos of Chongqing in 1943 show the old images of the Three Gorges, Wanxian, stilted buildings and folk houses in Chongqing 80 years ago

This group of photos is from Yadong Printing Collection. It was from August 1924 to 1944 that the Japanese invaders sent intelligence personnel to take a large number of human and geographical photos of various parts of China, which were published by the Japanese as A Collection of Asian Prints. These photos recorded the living conditions of Chinese people at that time, as well as the geographical features of all parts of the country, giving us a chance to see the historical images of China at that time

The magazine of this group of photos was first published in March 1943, so this group of photos should be taken before March 1943. In Yadong Prints Collection, other photos of Chongqing were released in 1925, so it is said that the four photos of this group were taken in 1925

远眺万县县城风光。

重庆的码头，大小船舶聚集一处。江江是特色的临江吊脚楼。

高出俯瞰重庆名居，各式建筑层层叠叠，

三峡古道，江水行船较易，但陆路进出极为不便，由此图即可看出蜀道之难，难于上青天！
