Alameda Street in Old Chinatown
Here is a more detailed view of the Alameda Street, along which were plazas and brothels in the old Chinatown.
In the photograph, we can see the signboard of Coca Cola and the security office. Hence, this photograph not only shows the fact that there were various shops along the old Chinatown street, together with brothels, at that time which fulfilled people’s basic needs of life, but also indicates a strange but peaceful relationship between the security officials and the prostitution industry at that time.
