From a Royal Navy recruitment poster to bustling streets in Singapore's Raffles Place, these humble vehicles have witnessed countless stories unfold. Travel back to the enchanting Hong Kong street scene in the 1890s, where C016/4499 captures a snapshot of daily life. A side view of a Bangladeshi rickshaw showcases its unique design and craftsmanship, reflecting the cultural diversity embedded within this form of transport. Venturing further south to Colombo, Sri Lanka, one cannot miss the majestic Galle Face Hotel standing tall against time. This grand establishment has welcomed many weary travelers arriving by rickshaw from distant lands. Across continents in La Habana Vieja, graffiti adorns rickshaws like vibrant canvases expressing local creativity and spirit. Witness how art intertwines with tradition as we explore Rickshaw transport in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), showcasing their vital role in connecting communities. Shanghai's Bund takes us on a journey through history; it was here that English settlers established their presence along this iconic waterfront promenade back in 1883. Meanwhile, Hoi An's old town street scene invites us to experience Vietnam's rich heritage while crossing Garden Bridge (Waibaidu Bridge) amidst Shanghai's bustling cityscape. In George Town, Penang Island, Malaysia awaits a traditional 19th-century shophouse—a testament to architectural beauty preserved over generations—where rickshaws once traversed narrow lanes carrying passengers towards City Centre Cinema in Bandung, Java.
