Old photos of Beijing taken by Zhang Bolin in 1909 (II)

After the Opium War, the ancient gate of China was opened by the western ships. The western industrial civilization world is full of mystery and yearning for the ancient oriental country. From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, there were many western scientific research teams coming to China to investigate geography, humanities and other aspects. Zhang Bolin was one of them. Zhang Bolin, an American geologist, was professor of geology at Beloit College in 1873 and president of the University of Wisconsin in 1887. In 1909, Zhang Bolin traveled to Sichuan, Hebei, Beijing, Shenyang and other places for investigation, and took a lot of travel photos
