2016-04-17 ThatsShanghai

Curious to see how China has changed over the last 100 years? Photographer Dheera Venkatraman took on the challenge of venturing to different cities across China to recreate photos from 100 years ago. From Shanghai to Guiyang, Venkatraman found old photos of historical sites, bridges and land, and decided to reshoot them.


Hangzhou in 1900 and in 2016.



Guiyang in the 1920's and in 2016.



Shanghai in the 1920's and in 2009.
