The East is Red

 

 Red Flag ("Hongqi") Limousine

 

This is a Red Flag limousine that was parked (permanently) outside a hotel in Tianjin, China.

The Red Flag became famous in China as being a domestically produced car used by Chinese officials including Chairman Mao.

Unfortunately, this Red Flag limo has been left to deteriorate outside the hotel, but as can be seen from the pictures, this has some wonderful features including suicide doors and curtains in the back.
