[Sunday Slow Moments]Ink & Print, Stamping Class in an Old Fabric Shop
The historic old street greets you with the familiar warmth and bustling energy of a traditional neighborhood. Across the way stands the bustling Xiahai City God Temple, a three-story modernist structure from the Japanese colonial period that has emerged with a renewed vibrancy after surviving a fire. The vermilion Chinese characters carved into the brickwork of the archway’s parapet, along with its pull-down lattice wooden windows, exude a strong sense of nostalgia. Not far around the corner, a few red flags of “Little Art Square” flutter in the breeze, beckoning urban dwellers in search of a quiet retreat.
