The best part about roaming around a new location is unintentionally coming across its hidden gems and capturing those in a photo. I had a great time snapping as much as I could and I hope the following photos not only reflect that but bring you into the miraculous wonders of China.

To the couple: Great choice. Such an awesome location to take wedding photos here. Excuse me for intruding on your photo shoot and a huge thank you for unwillingly and unknowingly adding such a nice touch to my photo.

It seems as if I have entered some top secret science laboratory, but no. It’s just the rooftop to a contemporary art museum. I absolutely love it.

A hotel room that comes with magic calligraphy ink that continuously dissolves on magic calligraphy paper. All of my wildest dreams have come true.

Within one of Hangzhou’s shopping streets, a staircase into a cozy and hidden location. I want to go in there.

Shopping in China has a little bit of everything. Where does the end of the old-styled street lead to? The fun part is I get to choose.

First, how about a game of ‘I spy’? How many delicious miscellaneous fruit drinks can you spot in one photo?
Second, my drink has fog brimming from the top. Ahh. That’s what I call innovation.

Who else feels like they are about to enter a Chinese drama just by looking at these photos? I already have the plot planned out.

Nothing trumps China’s beautiful and serene scenery. Nothing.

Thank you to ISA for giving us a memorable time studying and exploring in China. For anyone interested in going to China or just studying abroad in general: first, I recommend you to go with ISA, and second, I urge you to just do it. It will be something you won’t regret.
