The photos were taken in different places across China using a Ricoh GR III, capturing a mix of busy streets, quiet landscapes, and the in-between moments that make the trip memorable.

The photobook was designed in a zine-style A5 format to keep it compact and easy to flip through, making it feel more like a personal keepsake than a formal photography book. The layout is kept simple, letting the images do most of the storytelling, with red and yellow as the dominant background colors—reflecting the most prominent hues in the photos while adding an edgy and playful touch.

A visual diary that brings together different sides of China. Just a way to document a trip.
