This, a table in a long gone tea shop in town, was a dugout canoe with a glass top. Inside was a bizarre collection of cultural revolution (1966-1976) paraphernalia.
The whole place was weird and a massive punch-up broke out seconds after I took this photo. I fled.
Punch-ups in bars are highly unusual in China, but in tea shops? Never!
The place closed a month later.
