20 Photos, 20 Places, 4 Months in China — my personal highlights

I spent over 4 months traveling through China during my world trip, and honestly, it became one of my favorite countries to travel.

The mix of huge modern cities and ancient towns, surreal landscapes and mountains, desert and jungle — plus the super easy high-speed train network — made traveling there insanely fun.

Add cheap travel cost, delicious food and incredible variety, and it’s hard not to love.

All photos were shot by me, with a lot of passion behind each one.

I hope I can inspire some of you to visit at least one of them.
