a room with a view

A follow-up to this post, this delightful little room is upstairs over at Sugar Jar 白糖罐, an indie record store in the 798 / Dashanzi area. As you can see from the photo, the ground floor comprises the record store itself, with an excellent selection of the local indie rockists. Although it’s uncertain if the employees at Sugar Jar actually live in this little room, it’s not uncommon in China for shops to double up as the living space for the employees, especially if the shop is family-owned and run.

    Reminds me of those 堂楼 in old Wanchai or Western district of HK island.
