Standing tall since 1934, Quanzhou’s iconic Bell Tower is more than just architecture—it’s a living chronicle of history. Blending Western influences with southern Fujian’s distinct style, this cultural gem has weathered decades of change while remaining the heartbeat of the city. 🏙️✨
Enter Huang Cankun, a local photographer whose lens has chased the tower’s shadows since 2012. From cherry blossoms framing its base to neon-lit evenings as the city buzzes around it, Huang’s portfolio captures the structure’s dialogue with time. 'It’s like photographing an old friend who never stops surprising you,' he says. 📸🍃
Now, Huang plans to double down on his passion project: documenting the tower for another decade. His mission? To freeze moments of urban transformation while celebrating Quanzhou’s unique identity. For travelers and culture buffs, this landmark isn’t just a stop—it’s a story waiting to be framed.
