Rickshaw Waiting Post – Peking, 1908

Posted: October 18th, 2022 | No Comments »

I have done a few ‘old Shanghai signage’ posts before (just put ‘signage’ in the search engine and you can see them). This one though is from Beijing and I’ve never noticed one of these signs before – for a rickshaw rank, or waiting lot. It is apparently 1908, has been colourised (not by me) is supposedly adjacent to the South or Zhaoheng Gate (昭亨门; Zhāohēng Mén).

The little rickshaw logo is cool….
