China
I spent half of every year in China from 2007-2018. Overall, I found the country less than beautiful, but there are some places that are magical.
The Temple of Heaven, Beijing
Driver in Changsha, birthplace of Mao
Abandoned part of Mutianyu
Vacant billboard in Southwestern China
Tian’anmen Square
170,000 people there, but I found a quiet spot
Temple of Heaven
Prayer at the Lama Temple
The Summer Palace
