Doors in China are the most important feature of a house. The front door lets in good energy and welcomes family and friends, but also keeps away demons and intruders. Inviting but guarded. Solid and protective.




I adore a good door! Some great doors in China may be found in Dali and Lijiang, Yunnan Province. Both are ancient walled cities and free of traffic, the latter being a Unesco world heritage site.
Very interesting doors.

Me too Julie. i was going to simply post that last one, but Mr T thought it was a bit ordinary so I added a few more. We have the same taste in doors and wine.

Loved the one with red diamonds and a padlock…very similar to Electricity Generating Board doors except they have a graphic in the red diamond of a man pierced with a lightening bolt ..very apposite:)

Nice selection of doors. I love doors and they do attract or repel so it is important to pay attention to the entrance.

I have a thing about doors. I have photographed dozens of them in Italy. So many of them tell a story. Others encourage me to create my own story
