DongHuaLi, An Alley You Can See Typical GuangDong Roofs
DongHuaLi is a special old alley in FoShan, GuangDong(广东佛山）. You can see some typical Guangdong style “Guo’er”（锅耳）roof there， Which seldom can see in Guangdong now.
DongHuaLi is a very small alley which locates at FuXian Road, FoShan(佛山市福贤路). Few people know this place now, But 100 years ago, It was very famous.
FoShan is the center of commerce since Qing Dynasty. Here lived many important people of China. Many of them built their house at DongHuaLi, So DongHuaLi was a place of Vanity Fair then.
People who live there now love to tell you which house has belonged to the ex-president of SiChuan, Or which house has belonged to an old general, They are proud of these old stories.
I love the traditional GuangDong style Guo’er roof there, And the wooden carven door.

这些建筑很特别，应该得到保留吧！
希望我到广东时，能到这里拍照！让我想起那时到周庄，古老的水圳，拍了很多照片！

那天我遇到一个学建筑的研究生，她的毕业课题就是研究东华里的，至少说明这个地方被重视着。放心吧！
很遗憾没有机会爬到楼上去拍那些漂亮的房顶。
