Discovering Kunming Old Streets with the Sony A6700

Introduction

On September 11, 2025, I embarked on an exploration of Kunming Old Streets, utilizing a Sony A6700. Wenming Street presented a captivating rain chain, alongside a vibrant array of pink, blue, and yellow flower petals and an abundance of geraniums. My attention was particularly drawn to the intricate wood, architecture, doors, and the fine hardwood detailing. A local temple showcased a harmonious blend of traditional brickwork and modern wood, composite material, illustrating the integration of old and new, observed by numerous people, particularly youth, in transit. I also noted a distinguished roof, exhibiting characteristics of both Chinese and Japanese architecture, and a solitary black cat. Furthermore, I observed what appeared to be a local headquarters. The day concluded with an observation of the evolving urban area and its prominent buildings, yet the inherent essence of the Old Streets left a lasting impression.
