Notes

University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: LP01-24. No caption in the album for this photograph. The sign on the gate tower reads ‘雙流合抱’ which can be translated as ‘twin flows join embrace’. It is likely that the gate tower was inside the city of Taiyuan (太原), along the river Fenhe (汾河), Shansi (Shanxi) province. Nowadays there is a Fenhe Wetland Park in which the river is divided into East and West channels.
