I just ordered over 20 rare photos from a second hand bookstore in Chongqing when getting some new Chinese books. The photos were taken by university students around 2000-2002 right before the Three Gorges Dam was built and attempted to document old buildings and sites along the Yangtze that were important to Chinese history, folklore, and cultural traditions and would soon disappear underwater.
