The old photo of Wuchuan County in Zhanjiang in 1932 shows the historical image of Wuchuan 90 years ago, which was taken by Pendleton
Robert· Larimore· Pendleton (1890-1957) was a soil scientist and a professor of geography at Johns Hopkins University in the United States. He visited China from 1931 to 1933, covering many provinces and cities in the Northeast, North China, and Southwest. He took more than 1100 stereoscopic photos, recording the customs and traditions of China during the period of the People’s Republic
This group of photos was taken in 1932. From the photos, the author went north to take photos in Beijing, Suiyuan, Northeast China, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in 1931. After returning to Guangzhou, the author traveled westward to Wuchuan County, Zhanjiang. This photo was taken at this time
