​Yangtze River By The Hudson Ba​y

烟水亭 (Yan-Shui House - meaning Smoke and Water House)

Its history would date back to the declining days of Han Dynasty: "三国演义 (Romance of The Three Kingdoms)"

Xun-Yang Tower: 浔阳楼 ("Xun-Yang" was the name for Kiukiang in ancient days - and so this is essentially The Kiukiang Tower)

Statue of the Well-Known Tang Dynasty Poet and Politician Ju-Yi Bai in Front of "Pi-Pa" House (白居易 － 琵琶亭)

The name "Pi-Pa" comes from a music instrument. This House was built recent to honor his exile that was served in Kiukiang, ca. 815 AD, and one of the most famous poems he wrote during that time: "....同是天涯沦落人，相逢何必曾相识...."

九江长江大桥: One of many Yangtze River Bridges - this one is built specifically for the city of Kiukiang.

Was this the view Mrs. Perkins saw when she sailed up the river from Nanking in 1918?
