Exploring Guiyang's Jiaxiu Building with the Sony A6700

Introduction

So, I checked out Guiyang's Jiaxiu Building with my Sony A6700 and Sigma 56mm F1.4 lens, and wow, it's super historic. It was first built way back in 1597, got knocked down and rebuilt a bunch of times, and the one you see now has been there since 1909, sitting on a huge stone in the Nanming River. It's totally seen all of Guiyang's history and is a huge cultural icon, even becoming a national protected site in 2006. This photo trip really made me feel connected to the city's amazing, enduring vibe.
