VLADIVOSTOK, RUSSIA: Admiral Fokin street

Fokin street has always been the center of the city life. In the XIX century the street was called Pekinskaya and was one of the main streets of “Millionka” or “Shanghai” – the mazy Chinatown bundled with dolly-shops and eating-houses, cafes and barber's shops, haunts and opium dens. Nowadays the legendary quarter is completely re-developed and Pekinskaya street has become a decent rival of Moscow Arbat street – a grand promenade adorned with fountains, benches and old-style street lamps.
