This is the Shuyin Pavillon in Shanghai. It is one of the few old buildings that still remain in the city. Once, it has been owned by the great scholar Shenchu. What a shame that those old buildings are slowly disappearing!
I've always had a soft spot for Chinese postcards. This one shows why - most of them are so extremely beautiful!

China
This is a very interesting postcard. The painting shows Chinese women having a Western-style meal for the first time and struggling with the strange forks and knives and trying the foreign wine.
