WanChai Blue House - details

This is one of the doors facing Stone Mullah Street (石水渠街). Note the style of the doors and windows.


Details of the two traditional door gods (門神) guarding the doors. The one on the left with a big beard is 尉遲恭, and the one on the right is 秦叔寶, both famous generals of 唐太宗.


Wooden stairs leading up to the first floor from the street. Note the wood paneled walls and mailboxes on the right, and particularly the electrical wiring on the left.


One of the first floor balconies. Note the railings, the doors and windows. Similar styles can still be found in some of the older districts such as SheungWan and WanChai. But getting rarer and rarer.
