More anticipated than Santa Claus on Christmas and more appreciated than sitting at a hot summer night with a cold beer and a pretzel in a German beer garden was That’s China’s second photography trip of 2016. This time it brought me and 20 photography enthusiasts from all over the world to Songyang – a city you probably haven’t heard of yet – but I promise you will soon be found of one of China’s main tourist destinations. We stayed in an Architectural dream of a hotel overlooking the vast river running through this marvelous city with a breathtaking view of its temple on top of a hill giving making a scenery like in a fairy tale. Our days were filled with wonders of ancient streets where skilled craftsman are manufacturing everything from iron tools to fine textiles and vast tea hills were I tasted the best tea I ever had in my love. After returning back to Hangzhou the two days felt like two weeks with so many new dear friends and impressions found during the trip. We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls and I found a true gem of a city – Songyang.
