Hidden in the streets of Chongqing, China, this small sculpture shows a traditional rickshaw puller, a reminder of the city’s past when transport through the steep hills relied on human-powered carts and sheer determination. 🛺

With one of Chongqing’s famous Yangtze River bridges in the background, it perfectly captures the contrast between old street life and the modern megacity that Chongqing has become today. 🌉🏙️

Moments like this are easy to miss while exploring, but they tell the story of how people once moved through these busy mountain streets long before the skyscrapers and metro lines arrived.
