Town in Qianhu Miaozhai, China

苗族的先辈们历经千辛万苦,几经周折,终于在西江千户苗寨建起了自己的家园。在如今钢筋混凝土的时代,很难再见到这样的建筑群了。这是栖息的角落,这是人类文明的结晶。 The Miao nationality has gone through many difficulties, and finally lived here. In our modern time, it’s hard to see these buildings. This is the place to live, and also treasure of our human.

Highland in Bi Peng Gou - Sichuan, China

During a stay in China, my french friend Nicolas who was living in Chengdu told me about Bi Peng Gou valley near east Tibet that we should explore. We took a bus without any foreigners, it was less than 2 years after the terrible earthquake, in Sichuan. Landscapes were really apocalyptic: all infrastructures in reconstruction, mountain down to the river… a long and hard roadway rewarded by thermal baths. A moto taxi brought us to the Bi Peng Gou lake traversing an enchanted forest. Finding the best view, I captured this shot by walking on an unstable stone dam. I really appreciated this trip.

Landmark in The Palace Museum, China

This is an Imperial Chinese Lioness in the grounds of the Forbidden Palace, Beijing, which was constructed in the 1300s. Sometimes these are referred to as Foo Dogs and are in pairs. This is the female or lioness, as it is playing with a cub, under it’s paw. This represents nurture. They are often made of granite or cast in bronze. I was lucky enough to visit the Forbidden Palace, whilst speaking at an international leadership conference, being held in Beijing.

Skyline in Beijing, China

This is Beijing you probably have never seen. It was taken in the cold winter night at the soon-to-be tallest building in the capital Z15 (Zhong Guo Zun). When I got up on the 98th floor, the view was stunning and it reminded me of the view from Tokyo tower somehow. I am glad I got the shot and it was one of the best shot in my life.

Cliff in Huangshan Mountain, China

Huangshan, or Yellow Mountain, is named after the famous Yellow Mountains that have become world renowned for their unique scale and beauty. Mount Huangshan itself has been described as ‘the loveliest mountain of China’ and became a magnet for poets and landscape artists, fascinated by its dramatic landscape of granitic peaks, many over 1000 metres high. Click the link in my bio (or go to www.morethanjust.photos) to find out more about this stunning landscape and my time exploring it!

Ruins in Great Wall of China, China

Despite most postcards featuring photos from this area, it is barely standing! Trees grow from every tower and each step needs to be taken with care. Nature has taken over. It all makes for a very authentic experience though. You are walking along thousands of years of history. It isn’t clean or stable but it is the original wall. Each stone was laid by hand. Men had built it and many had been buried below it. It’s mind-blowing to think of the dedication, blood, sweat, and tears that must have gone into creating it.

Landmark in CCTV Headquarters, China

When I first decided to relocate myself to the capital of China. I told myself let’s just give it a year. Now it’s my 5th year in this wonderful city. At first, I hated this city as it was different from where I grew up but I guess it’s the people that makes everything different. I am fortunate to have met many amazing people and they turn out to be my friend for a lifetime.

Landmark in Lujiazui, China

The Shanghai Tower is a 632 meter (2,073 ft) tall building situated in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai. There are countless photos of the “4 towers” (Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, Jin Mao Tower, and the Oriental Pearl Tower) arising in the web, showing their architectural beauty with the starry backdrop of a city. However, one cannot truly grasp the grandness of these giants until they have stood right beneath them – to see the solid grids and lines of what used to be yesterday’s fiction.

Forest in Nanjing, China

This forest was held by the KMT until the 1940s and has a lot of historical significance to China. Even though its landscape is revolutionizing at a rapid rate, when you’re on the grounds here, you’re transported to another time period and can feel so much solitude in a loud city.

Temple in Shangri-La, China

This is one of the most beautiful mountain vistas in the world. Sadly I was only there for a few weeks and was working a tour group, so no real time for much photography. Thankfully, the place is so beautiful and dramatic; and the weather was perfect to get some good shots. Also serendipitously caught a Chinese Bull Fight Festival while we were there. (Not like the Spanish bullfights). Here, no animals get hurt. Shangri La. If you can, go!

Wat in Ershichong, China

A co-worker who’s a Guangzhou native promised us the best seafood lunch around this region. After an hour drive from the city, we entered Nansha Fisherman’s Pier – a hidden culinary gem. After meandering through a street full of live seafood and their respective sellers yelling the lowest bargains, we bought a few servings of octopus, fish, sea urchins, and even sea slugs, and promptly headed to the adjacent street with our fresh catch. My co-worker gave our bounty to the chef and she came back with, as promised, the most delctable seafood feast within the area.

Hill in Unnamed Road, China

This is the authentic Chinese Great Wall. The day prior the day when this was taken, it snowed. This treasure, without any reservation, manifests the great land of China as well as the hard work of Chinese people 2000 years ago. Stepping on each stone and step, you will surely feel the unspeakable and transcendental power of history.

Hill station in Siguniang Mountain, China

After 5 hour climbing to the top the Mount Siguniang DaFeng (Chinese:the peak of the oldest sister,elevation 16486 ft), I took this picture. I just felt like I am at the end of world and became the only human-being in the world. Nothing can gives me a experience like this

Hill station in Deqen, China

Upper Yubeng consists of these houses and a couple more behind me. The school is in the top right. Currently, it is still underdeveloped but with a major upgrade to the road to the Meili Mountain area to be finished in the summer of 2011, more tourist dollars should flow through Yubeng and it will become more developed.

Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China

China holds natural wonders just like its Western counterparts but as they’re named in Chinese, many have not heard about these. Zhangjiajie is one of them - the national park and these gorgeous landscapes said to have inspired the movie Avatar (I believe that). Here captured with a fish eye lens, to fully show the beauty.

Recreational fishing in Binjiang Road, China

We had just arrived in Guilin by high-speed train, in the pouring rain. After a couple of hours the rain stopped, and as our hotel was just across the road from the Li RIver, we went exploring on foot. Just before we walked down the steps to this path I noticed this elderly gentleman looking very serene with his fishing gear, and the calm, opaque waters of the river looked mysterious. Apart from some cropping, I didn’t adjust the image.
