My ancestral village: lichacun. I've shared this image before, but I found some really sharp drone footage of the centre of the village; a raised octogon with a baqua, an eightsided taoist trigram with a yingyang in the centre #chineseDiaspora #village

An overhead shot of a chinese village surrounded by water. The roofs are terracotta and concentric, there is a white dot in the centre. A close up of the doth shows a platform with white painted symbols, trigrams and a ying yang symbol.

I found an interview with an elder in the village, he said people migrated away and then their children only spoke English when they came to visit but they never came back to live. So most of these houses are empty and falling apart 馃挃 I really want to visit to document the village (as an architectural academic) but I am stuck here.
