EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the bustling trading scene along the River Kyang in China. The image depicts the walled city of Hu Kew Hyen (also known as Kew or Kyew) perched majestically atop a cliff. The city's imposing walls protected its inhabitants from external threats while also serving as a strategic vantage point over the busy waterway below. The river, teeming with life and commerce, is dotted with sampans, both with sails and oars, skillfully navigating the waters. The traditional Chinese junks, with their distinctive tall masts and wide hulls, can also be seen anchored at the port, adding to the vibrant scene. The city of Hu Kew Hyen was a significant trading hub during this era, connecting China with the wider world through the exchange of goods and ideas. The bustling river served as a lifeline for the city, facilitating the movement of people and merchandise. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, transporting us back in time to an era of rich cultural exchange and thriving commerce. The serene beauty of the setting, with the city nestled amidst lush greenery and the river bustling with activity, is a testament to the enduring allure of China's storied past.
