The Peking Hotel, 1920
Posted: February 17th, 2012 | 1 Comment »Here’s a postcard from 1920 of the Peking Hotel (Grand Hotel de Pekin) which, of course, still stands on the corner of Chang ‘an and Wangfujing (Morrison Street) though has been added too and mucked about a bit over the decades. Here flying the French flag too. Stand on Chang’an and you’ll see the basic structure still remains including the grand ground level entrance.
Would love to collect old pre-WW2 Foreigner-in-Beijing memorabelia…but it’s impossible to find. What a great old Post Card.
