I started noticing door knockers on my travels in China and then later while visiting Europe. I had seen them on doors at Buddhist Temples. It wasn’t until I was visiting the water town of Wuzhen where I started paying more attention to them. The following three photos were taken of knockers on doors in traditional chinese houses. I just love their faces. On this same trip, I spent a couple days in Shanghai before returning home and was delighted to find a couple stalls outside Yu Yuan Gardens selling knockers!

We found this knocker below while exploring the old city in Barcelona, Spain. You have to look closely at the center to see the little face.
The remaining knockers were found when we visited the ancient walled city Mdina on the Island of Malta. Who knew there were so many different kinds of knockers.

| I think I’ve seen this one in a couple Disney movies. |
