A little inspiration
Browsing a little record shop on Gulangyu
A record sleeve catches your eye outside a little shop, and a conversation starts. Wander past red-brick villas and flowering doorways with your Local Pal, leaving time to step inside somewhere you hadn’t planned to visit.
A possible way to spend your time, shaped around you. Food, shopping, transport and tickets are separate from your Pal’s time.
