In Nanning, I found the nostalgic atmosphere of a Wong Kar-wai film.

This is Nanning's most iconic "Yuanyang Building."
The two-way staircase connecting the two old buildings resembles a "DNA helix."
The layers intertwine like a maze, as if falling into the scenes of "Chungking Express."

Faded posters in the corridors, peeling iron doors, and mottled walls—
every corner bears the marks of time.

The breeze rustles the bougainvillea blooming on the staircase and the hanging clothes.
Passersby walk by, and a golden retriever barks warily from inside a house.
Uncles and aunts returning home slowly climb the stairs with their shopping baskets.
These vivid scenes piece together a picture of old Nanning's daily life.

This is a magical maze with the texture of a Hong Kong film.
This is the flow of the old days.
This is a vivid portrayal of Nanning.

Would you stop for such an old building?
