When we arrive at Ranwu Lake, we are not far from Bomi and Nyingchi where we are going. I have been here twice and stayed twice. The altitude is close to 4000 meters, and I still feel a little uncomfortable.

In addition, the weather was a bit cold and I didn’t sleep well all night, but I got up at 6:30 in the morning and went to shoot. As a result, the ideal picture was taken today. 1. Ran Wuhu encounters good weather, it is enjoyable to shoot. I used to shoot at Ranwu Lake on Line 318, but this time Lao Xu took us to the upper reaches and left Line 318. This is a canyon, but the water surface is a little frozen. The surrounding mountain peaks, because it has snowed in the past few days, are completely covered with special beauty. In the night, everyone was looking for a shooting location, but they were all limited to a small hillside, but the front was completely covered by ice, and the reflection of the water could not be captured. I simply walked forward by myself and walked a long way down to the bottom of the ditch, where I could be close to the surface of the water, and there was melting ice water on the shore, and the reflection of the water surface I wanted was available. In fact, the angle of photography is very important. Just like a person’s perspective, what you see and what you photograph will be different when you change the direction. So you can’t be lazy. Whether it’s behavior or thinking, you must always have your own ideas and discoveries. When entering Tibet this season, there seems to be a lot of fog. The photos taken these days are not ideal. Today, there are not only snowy mountains, sunshine, and transparent air. 2. Ranwuhu meets Buddhist worshippers and walks 50 kilometers a day I left Wuhu, not far from Linzhi. After the checkpoint, I stopped for lunch and had a bowl of rice noodles for 20 yuan. It felt like a long time ago. In fact, I have not left Yunnan for less than a month. While I was waiting, I first took pictures of the surrounding mountains and met two young people walking to Lhasa to worship Buddha. They said that they could walk 50 kilometers a day, and it would take more than ten days to get there… In fact, people on line 318 have their own goals and goals. Line 318 is not the starting point of life, nor the end of life. It is just a process in life, but the results of harvest may affect life for a long time. Whenever I see those who believe on the road, I always feel emotional. Perhaps, in their eyes, we are the people who have lost the way. 3. The accommodation in Bomi is overcrowded, stay here for three days Starting from Ranwu Lake, I arrived at Bomi in the afternoon, which was already overcrowded. Although the hotel we stayed in was booked early, there was still a lack of a room. Old Xu had to find another place, and I was living in the same room with another movie friend… However, the peach blossoms here have not yet reached their best season, and some are not flourishing and colorful. I went out to take a photo in the afternoon. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, the light was not good, and the shot was not bright, not the ideal scenery. Fortunately, I still have to live here for three days, and I still have the opportunity to shoot again tomorrow morning! 4. How much does it cost to eat a meal in Bomi, Tibet, the hottest tourist destination? Bomi, at this time, it can be called the hottest place to travel, not only is there a lot of tourists, but almost all the places where peach blossoms are in full bloom are overcrowded! The increase in tourists is the first manifestation of the pressure on accommodation. All hotels are full. If it is not booked early, the rooms are now at the top level. For example, the original room booked for 260 yuan has now risen directly to 600 yuan. The price of accommodation increases, so what is the price of food? This is the meal we ate in the evening, 16 people, two tables (double servings), a total of 836 yuan, 52 yuan per capita. how do you feel? In the most popular scenic spot… 5. How many days did the fastest person ride in Lhasa? Riding the Sichuan-Tibet line generally starts at Chengdu and ends at Lhasa. According to the standard time in the past, it is 28 days. Now, because the road is easy to walk, the speed is getting faster and faster without climbing. Since it is not the peak season for cycling, there are not many people who ride. When the summer vacation, those college students will be the mainstream on this road. However, because of the difference in human strength, the time taken is also long and short. I met two cyclists in the territory of Linzhi Bomi. One of them set off on the 5th and the other set off on the 8th. They merged together. … Old Xu told me that the fastest record for this journey was 7 days. It was created by a Shanghainese. He was riding a road car and had complete logistics support. He rode all the way, and rested for a while when he was tired. Go to bed for a while and ride the rest of the time! The 7-day record has not been broken yet? Is it really? Later, I checked the information and found a great man named Sun Hui who was in the Eight Heavens Sichuan-Tibet Extreme Riding Challenge in 2019. The result is 6 days 00 hours 56 minutes . The total distance is 2,160 kilometers, with a total of 14 high mountains, and the highest altitude is more than 5,000 meters. Having won the championship for five consecutive times, K broke the record of 6 days, 9 hours and 50 minutes he set last year.

When I arrived in Tibet, I felt the pressure and pressure of going to Nyingchi to see the peach blossoms. The most obvious is the tension and price increase of accommodation. Not only are prices in Bomi and Suosong villages soaring now, but the general standard rooms have reached 1,000 yuan, which is just a matter of course along the way. The prices of hotels in Wuhu, Linzhi and even Lhasa have all increased.

There are also a lot of vehicles on line 318, self-driving tours, group tours, and all kinds of tours are coming out anyway, and the most are photographers with cameras behind them. Isn’t it also for taking photos of peach blossoms when you go to Linzhi to see peach blossoms? But the team leader, Old Xu, was always worried. He said yesterday that he looked at Line 318 and there were few vehicles on the opposite side. However, the area was snowing the previous day. I was afraid that the roads of Dongda Mountain would be blocked. I don’t know if it could be opened in the morning. After breakfast, there was already a long queue of vehicles in front of the hotel. They just waited for the front to let them go. Old Xu inquired and said: There is no problem. You can let them go before nine o’clock, but you must have snow chains, otherwise you won’t be able to go up Dongda Mountain. 1. Linzhi is so hot this year! The helicopters are here! On the headline, Luo Hong also came to Tibet to take photos of peach blossoms. On the way, I saw a Hollyland helicopter, saying it was transported from Kunming to Linzhi. Isn’t this close? Regarding Mr. Luo Hong’s obsession with photography, he took some photos of animals in Africa more than ten years ago. According to the information, he rented a helicopter and took photos from above. Now that there is an aerial camera, these are not difficult. But the plane arrived, which is really bullish! Guess how much the shipping cost for this trip? 2. You must be cautious when using aircraft in Tibet, as some places cannot fly. While I was waiting, I saw a soldier coming over with an aerial photographing “aircraft” and asked if it was possible to take aerial photographs here. The answer was that there were troops stationed and photographing was not allowed. And this plane was just “captured”. Someone might not understand the situation and took off rashly, and was arrested. Sure enough, a young man followed in frustration and asked where the soldiers had gone. He said that he didn’t know that he was not allowed to fly here, and he was bored while waiting for passage, so he wanted to use the plane to see the situation ahead. Fortunately, he wanted the plane back later. In fact, there are still many no-fly zones in Tibet. You must be cautious when shooting with aircraft! 3. Going into Tibet along Route 318 and crossing the pass of Dongda Mountain was delayed for almost two hours. Dongda Mountain encountered traffic jams. The cause of the traffic jams was that it snowed a few days ago, the mountains were frozen, and the roads were particularly slippery. Dongda Mountain is located in Zuogong County, Tibet. The pass is 5130 meters above sea level. It is the highest place we have traveled during this time. Due to the high altitude and cold weather, the body here is covered with snow and the road becomes a snowy road. If he would leave, the truck didn’t dare to leave at all. When passing the checkpoint, the police warned one by one to prepare snow chains and install them before going up the mountain, but many people didn’t take it seriously, but they didn’t dare to leave when they got to the top. They stopped and installed them immediately, and didn’t even lean on the side. It seriously affected the passage of cars behind. I don’t understand ice and snow roads, I don’t know how to open ice and snow roads, and I don’t follow the rules and add sills indiscriminately. These are the direct reasons for the congestion. In the end, I don’t walk fast and mess around… It makes people sigh and heartache. When can Chinese people learn to be disciplined and modest? It is convenient for others to make it convenient for yourself, artificial chaos, obstacles to each other, it shouldn’t be… 4. The best thing to see on the way is the 72 turn and the 318 line sign The most beautiful scenery along this road, except Dongda Mountain to see the snow, is the 72 turn of Yela Mountain, which is beautiful and exciting. Turn 72 is the Yela Mountain Panshan Highway that leads to Route 318 to Basu Line. It is 4618 meters above sea level and about 16 kilometers long. Due to the twists and turns of the road, it is called the “Ninety-Nine Turns Back” and Yela. Mountain “108 turns”, “Sichuan-Tibet 99 bends” and so on. I have walked this road twice. I set off for Lhasa in 2013. It was the same direction as this time. At that time, it was still a dirt road. After taking a few photos, I started going down the mountain. It didn’t feel great all the way. In 2019, I drove from the new Tibet line, and went retrograde 318. I went out of Tibet. When I got here, I was actually climbing up the mountain. It seemed that I couldn’t finish walking. When I reached the top of the mountain, I realized that it was turn 72! If you go from the bottom up and turn 72, the direct altitude of the climb is more than one thousand meters… Although this road is very challenging, it is fortunate for people entering Tibet, because it is completely downhill, directly descending to 3100 meters above sea level. For those who ride, hike, and even push trolleys to broadcast live, it’s time to What a pleasant “slide”! For those who come to Tibet, whether driving or cycling, Yela Mountain is a pleasant one. On the contrary, if you leave Tibet and walk here, it will be a little difficult. 5. Found a shooting spot, but unfortunately the lake has not melted, and the reflection of the snow-capped mountains cannot be photographed. Due to the congestion of Dongda Mountain, more than two hours were wasted, so we missed the time to take pictures at Ranwu Lake. The car drove fast along the way, but it still couldn’t arrive as planned. Seeing the sun gradually sink, we are still far away from our destination. In the end, I had to find a lake before sunset and parked on the side of the road, but there was a lot of ice on the lake, and I couldn’t take a reflection. 6. Along the G318 line to see the snow and clouds all the way to Ranwu Lake When I arrived at Ranwu Lake, I slept the most in the past few days. The altitude is 3900 meters. It is a bit difficult to carry luggage to climb the third floor. Unexpectedly, the accommodation here is also tense. Fortunately, I booked the hotel in advance (300 yuan for a standard room). When I checked in, someone came to look for a room. It has risen to 450 yuan. The only room left was that someone else got the wrong date and canceled the reservation. People move in “luck”. The boss said that it was sunny after three or four days of rain and snow, and it must be fine tomorrow… The accommodation is in good condition, but the room is very cold and there is no air-conditioning (central air-conditioning cannot be used due to the shortage of electricity). Fortunately, there is an electric mattress to warm it up. But the altitude of 3900 meters here is still a test for those who go to the plateau!

Due to the impact of the epidemic, people were depressed at home for a whole year. This year’s tourism broke out, and Linzhi was the first to “blow out”.

In fact, March is not the best season to enter Tibet, but the end of March is the season of peach blossoms in Nyingchi. Millions of wild peach blossoms are full of mountains and plains, as well as villages and river beaches. Some people say that peach blossoms are everywhere. Why do you have to go to Linzhi to see peach blossoms? Although there are peach blossoms, can there be so many plants that can bloom freely? In addition, there are blue sky and white clouds, snow-capped mountains and valleys, and Nanga Bawa, one of the most beautiful snow-capped mountains in the world? In addition to the special scenery, there are also the publicity and hype in the past few years. Photography has brought the essence and myth of Linzhi’s peach blossoms and attracted more photographers to shoot. Who doesn’t want to be able to shoot “blockbuster” and shock themselves even more What about others? Nowadays, Chinese photography has become a kind of mass entertainment, and who has a camera does not want to use photos to prove their status and goodness? Isn’t Lin Zhi the best choice for a shooting spot that many people admire but is not familiar with? Besides, there are still a large number of self-media people who have arrived, or are still on the road, contributing to the situation… When you enter Tibet, the first thing you see is the opening of wild peach trees. There are many such wild peach trees on Line 318, but they are not scaled up, and they are already in full bloom at low altitudes. And when you get to the high place, Dongda Mountain is covered with snow. It turned out that it snowed just yesterday. The scenery is really beautiful. 1. It’s a bit early to enter Tibet in March, and a large number of cyclists have not set off yet It was the second day after I took the 318 line. I crossed the Jinsha River and entered Tibet in the morning. This is also the third time I entered Tibet on the 318 line. I saw two travellers riding motorcycles while resting in Lawu Mountain. It takes courage to ride this season. The weather is too cold. Once it encounters rain and snow, it will be too cold! I saw him wearing a raincoat outside, making a cup of hot coffee during a break, and then hurried on the road again… The last thing I did not expect was that I saw a bicycle with less than ten people this time. In 2013, I took this line. There were too many people riding. Now there are fewer people playing, or the season is early. Some? In fact, what I admire most on the Sichuan-Tibet line are cyclists and hikers. They are the real heroes. Unfortunately, I saw very few this time… 2. How much does it cost to eat a meal in Tibet? Eight dishes cost less than 43 yuan per person. Entering Tibet this morning, the first stop is Mangkang County. I will eat at the county seat at noon, a very casual Sichuan restaurant. I ordered eight dishes, including two meat dishes. The final bill was 681 yuan (two sets). For 16 people, the average per person was less than 43 yuan. This dish is done well and everyone is very satisfied! In fact, as far as eating is concerned, there are many Sichuan restaurants along this road, which are not expensive. Mangkang is a meeting point. There are vehicles from Sichuan Line 318 and tourists from Yunnan Line 214 in the south. They meet here, and then they enter Tibet along Line 318 together. 3. The price of Mangkang Hotel has increased sharply today! Linzhi line travel accommodation is very tight! Everything went smoothly when I entered Tibet. I moved into the mangkang county as originally planned. Rumei Town , Live in a pre-booked hotel (200 yuan for a standard room). Go around and take some pictures casually. However, it was found that there were very few cars passing by the 318 line. It turned out that the Dongdashan line had problems with the snowy roads, and vehicles were restricted as well. As a result, vehicles were stranded in the area from Mangkang County to Meiru Town. This makes the accommodations tight. The hotel I stayed in has risen to 580 yuan at night, and there are no rooms. It is said that the price of Mangkang County has also increased. During dinner at night, Old Xu told me that for the next Ranwu Lake and Bomi, he had not reserved enough rooms. When he arrived, he had to find a place to live on his own and let me share a room with someone else… Here is a reminder to friends who come to Nyingchi to see the peach blossoms, they must first book a hotel along the way, otherwise they may have “nowhere to settle”. This year, Tibet’s Linzhi line travels hot, and the accommodation is not enough… 4. The Batang Shuimogou RV camp on Line 318 charges 20 yuan. During this trip to Tibet, several friends asked me if I saw the RV camp. To be honest, I have not paid much attention to it. Today I finally saw one on the side of the road a few kilometers away from Batang County . This is called “Shuimogou RV Camp”. The boss said that the cost is 20 yuan, and you can add water to the car and wash the car. There are guest rooms, restaurants, supermarkets, and toilets nearby. This camp is on the edge of Line 318, and on the other side is the Jinsha River, the boundary between Tibet and Sichuan. There is a big turn here and the scenery is very beautiful. The boss told me that they had purchased electrical equipment, and in a few days, they could use electricity in addition to adding water to the car. The boss said that there have been a lot of cars parked here in recent days. In addition to standard RVs, there are also many “bed cars” and other types of travel vehicles. Most of them have been in Tibet early in the morning… However, during this trip, I found that there are not many real RVs. What is going on? 5. What should I eat when I enter the plateau? Can I drink alcohol? Regarding eating, you have to follow your fate on the journey, and don’t deliberately ask for and look for what you encounter. After all, there is not much room for choice on the plateau. If you have an endorsement in advance, you can look for the past directly. But my recommendation is to eat more vegetables and less meat, especially foods that are rotten and easy to digest. In short, don’t ruin your stomach or cause gastrointestinal discomfort. In addition, do not eat too much at every meal on the plateau. You can prepare some snacks at ordinary times. It is mainly not hungry. I have a precedent of overeating. For drinking, try not to drink on the plateau, especially those who are new to the plateau, there must be an adaptation process. For experienced people, you can drink moderately, which is good for rest and sleep, but you must be restrained and not unscrupulous. In short, the diet of highland travel is very important. Try not to eat or try some unsure foods, eat as little as possible, drink more water and eat fruits.

On this day, I started driving on the famous scenic avenue G318. I didn’t expect to encounter congestion on the first day.

I have traveled through National Highway 318 several times, the most important of which was to enter Tibet from there in 2013, and finally to Shigatse. That time was also the most impressive one. I encountered two mudslides on the way. Tired and terrified. Today, the road has been repaired so that there are no dangerous roads or obstacles. It is basically a “sloppy road”. Any kind of car can go, and any driver can drive. But there is still a kind of person who is best not to come. He can’t walk well when he comes, and he will add traffic to others. This is an unruly and uncultivated driver. Recalling the several congestion on the line afterwards, the direct reason that caused the difficulty in handling was that someone saw parking in front of him and waited, but he did not follow the rules and continued to walk, even driving forward in the opposite lane in the opposite direction. As a result, the opposite vehicle had no way to go. Go, causing a bigger blockage. No matter how good the road is, if the driver is not good, the people are not good, it will not be good… 1. Delicious Yajiang’s Fat Intestine Noodles There is no content to be filmed today, and the main thing is to hurry, from Xinduqiao to Batang. Take line 318, pass through Yajiang County, and take a break at noon. Lao Xu took us to eat fatty intestine noodles. He said it was very famous, just beside the 318 National Road in the county seat. A bowl of ordinary fatty sausage noodles for 15 yuan, with a 30 yuan portion of braised pork, plus pickles of your choice, this meal is delicious again… This way, because there is a team led by Tong Laoxu in the Sichuan-Tibet District, there is no need to worry about food and accommodation, and they are all local specialties. Not only are they delicious, but the prices are not expensive. 2. Traffic jams, hateful retrogrades On the first day of walking on National Highway 318, there were five car accidents. A car collided with a truck in the middle of the road and it was a mess; a Prado drove directly into the ditch and was devastated; a car crashed fast while driving on a snowy ground. , The rescue vehicle pulled away. Now we are still stuck on the road just entering Batang. The front is congested. Most people obey the rules and wait honestly. However, there are always some people with poor quality and go against the road. As a result, more serious congestion is caused. Finally, the police came and gave orders. They stepped back to make way… Seeing these situations, I was sighed. Now that the road to Tibet is easy, and there are more cars, you should abide by traffic laws. Entering Tibet is to travel. It usually takes more than ten days, but some people do not have to enter Tibet. I quit the trip due to irregular driving, and I still have a lot of trouble without saying that I was frustrated! While waiting, another big G came up retrograde (at this time there were cars waiting in line for a kilometer or two), and he rammed into it. Old Xu was furious and blocked him and asked him to go back. He refused. I got out of the car and directly recorded the video. Tell him that if he doesn’t return, I will put it on the Internet. He hesitates a bit, and I persuade him with all my heart, “Everyone is queuing, what are you anxious? We should all be civilized people who are disciplined. You can only increase congestion if you go up now.” . In the end, the girl in his car couldn’t hold her face anymore, and asked him to go back, and then reluctantly went back… Many people have entered Tibet for the first time and have no experience in mountain roads, and this section of the road is easy to walk, so many traffic accidents have occurred, especially in the vicinity of Haizi Mountain, there have been three accidents and congestion. The main reasons for car accidents are: First, the car is fast, there are reasons for speeding and not decelerating in corners; second, the road is slippery in snowy days, and there is no experience, and the brakes are slammed on the brakes; In fact, as a tourist, you must have a “tour” mentality when you take the 318 line. You can enjoy the scenery all the way, slowly and quickly. This is good, the trip ends early, and the damaged vehicles have to be dealt with, which will always leave a shadow on the trip to Tibet… 3. It is better to have a good mentality when encountering congestion, enjoy the scenery and write things, experience the scenery of 318, it is too beautiful in the wind and snow I was stuck in traffic for two hours at the junction of Litang and Batang. I missed the shooting opportunity in the evening and waited in the car without time limit. It was inevitable that I was irritable. I gradually relieved myself. There is always something to do while waiting, instead of irritability and complaining. More than 2,000 words were written in the car that day. Although I didn’t take pictures with my camera today, I enjoyed the wonderful snowfall and after-snow on the 4500-meter plateau on the way. I took a lot of videos. I don’t think I missed anything. The day is worth it! Traveling away, there are many unexpected things, but the mentality should be good and easy to go, all encounters are fate, all occurrences are destined, only our mentality of facing the objective world, we must calmly and discover something. Walking on line 318, enjoying the snow with music, is a realm and sentiment, it is so beautiful, this day is different! The journey of this day was a sunny day, and then experienced the baptism of wind and snow, and finally saw the “snow scenery” on the way. Although the traffic jam was uncomfortable, the scenery was good. Driving on this road, first drive up the plateau to the low-altitude gorge, then climb the gorge to the plateau with a wide view, and finally drive to the low-altitude Batang in the dark to check in. There is a feeling of ups and downs, which is also the characteristic of the 318 line. . Although they are all in the car for viewing and shooting, I am still very interested and rewarded by what I saw and heard on this section of the road. Walking 318 to see the scenery, not only snow-capped mountains, glaciers and lakes, but also many inadvertent discoveries and touches. My heart… 4. Why do tourists who take Line 318 like to live in Batang? The self-driving Sichuan-Tibet line officially walked on line 318 yesterday, starting from Xinduqiao, passing through Yajiang, to Litang, and finally to Batang. Due to traffic jams on the way, it was congested for more than two hours. It was already more than nine o’clock in the evening to Batang. . We hurriedly hurried, just to stay in Batang, why? Because of the low altitude of Batang! Litang and Batang are two counties close to Tibet and must pass through National Highway 318. However, there are few people living in Litang, and Batang is crowded with people. This is because the altitude of Litang is more than 4000, while Batang is only 2570, which is a comfortable height for mainlanders. So when I arrived in Batang, I found a lot of people staying here, and the price was much higher. The same room price is more than twice as expensive as Xinduqiao. The point is that many people still cannot live, and many are full. So if you want to live in Batang on line 318, you must make a reservation in advance, and the sooner the better…… 5. Living in Batang, I finally dared to take a bath! I had lived in Jinchuan and Danba and Xinduqiao before, but I didn’t dare to take a bath. The main reason for not daring to take a bath in the plateau is because of colds. The temperature at high altitudes is also low. If you do not pay attention to bathing, you are very easy to catch a cold. I didn’t wash in Jinchuan and Danba, two relatively low altitude places. It was mainly for the first time to reach the plateau. There must be an adaptation process, and the accommodation conditions in these two places are also average, so I can bear it. And when I arrived at Xinduqiao, I didn’t wash it because of the high altitude, which is still a bit taboo. But when I got to Batang, which is 2570 meters above sea level, I decided to take a bath and change clothes. But I usually take a shower in the morning, when I have a good rest, my body is adjusted, my resistance is enhanced, and it is easy to warm up after washing, and it is not easy to catch a cold. In addition to washing in the morning, the water must be hot to heat the body thoroughly. In short, you must be sure of the virtuous cycle of the body, and the lesbians must blow-dry their hair. But I still warn you that you should be cautious when you are on the plateau. If you can not wash as much as possible, it is the best choice to not catch a cold!

I arrived at Jinchuan and Danba two days ago to see Lihua and take pictures of Tibetan Village. Many people would say, “What kind of photography tour is this? Isn’t it just an ordinary tourist route? Is it worth the money?”

It is indeed a traditional tourist route, and it has always been crowded with tourists in the scenic area. On the third day, it entered the plateau and entered the real Tibetan area. It also entered the “Black Rock City”, which is not visited by ordinary tourists. After a difficult journey, we arrived at the best location to take pictures of the Gongga Snow Mountain. Unfortunately, the weather was not good, and the ideal sunset photo of the snow mountain was not taken. The so-called “Black Rock City” is about 25 kilometers away from Xindu Bridge. It is said to be a mysterious religious shrine in Zhusang Township. The black scripture stones all over the mountain are built by lamas who practiced locally in the early years. Some people say that this mountain was a fortress for battles between tribes 300 years ago, and now there are only desolate ruins. The road in Black Rock City is particularly difficult for us. Ordinary cars or SUVs can’t work. Only high-floor off-road vehicles can barely pass and travel very slowly. Usually only photographers or outdoor people come here, and most tourists can’t get there. In addition to shooting the King of Shu Mountain, Gongga Snow Mountain, it is also a good place to shoot the starry sky and star trails. 1. In the morning in Zangzhai, Zhonglu, we waited hard for the sunrise. The biggest difference for the photography team is to get up early, because the hour before and after sunrise is the best light, and the scenery film is basically this time. The biggest advantage of the photography team is that the team leader knows where to shoot the best and can accurately reach the shooting location. If you are shooting sunrise at Zhonglu Zangzhai, there is a viewing platform, but you need to take up the place earlier. There are many photographers here. For those who want to shoot large movies with a tripod, they must be in place in advance. And I haven’t worn a tripod for many years. First, I am not very interested in landscape films, and there is no concept of “blockbuster”. The other is that the camera has a good sense of height now, and I can use a lens with a larger caliber, which can basically shoot. On the third day of self-driving in Western Sichuan, I shot at Zhonglu Zangzhai early in the morning. I waited until after nine o’clock before going down the mountain. 2. Again recommend Lao Mo’s house in Zhonglu Zangzhai. We drove to Danba in western Sichuan. The leader Lao Xu took us to the farmhouse of Lao Mo’s family. The custom here is that accommodation includes breakfast and dinner, and the usual price is 100 yuan a day. In fact, there are already many accommodations in the Zangzhai Village in Zhonglu now, and it is very convenient, while Lao Mo’s house is relatively inside, which is a little bit more. The advantage of Lao Mo’s house is that the price is low, and the whole family is very good. If you want to take pictures or play here, you can also show you the way. In short, it feels very comfortable. This is their breakfast. This is their dinner (there are three meat dishes). Lao Mo’s family is from Jiarong Tibetan, and the style of food is similar to that of Han people. The taste is very good, and everyone likes to eat it. Lao Mo’s family is very good. When we were leaving, he heard that we were going to the plateau and gave us a pack of “round root slices”. The old man is not good at words, but the family is sincere and enthusiastic. Love this family… 3. On the third day of self-driving on the Sichuan-Tibet line, we started to get close to the snow-capped mountains. In the morning after shooting at Zangzhai on the middle road of Danba, I started walking along the canyon Xianbamei direction. After walking out of the canyon, I saw the first complete snow-capped mountain Yala Snow Mountain, which is also the sacred mountain in the hearts of Tibetans. But this snow-capped mountain is not our goal. Then we arrived at Tagong and then at Xinduqiao. Rest here for a few minutes, and then go to Black Rock City. This section of the road is a simple road dug by the locals. It is particularly difficult to walk. The off-road vehicles are also cautious. The road is irregular and difficult to find. Fortunately, the leader, Lao Xu, has come many times. Yes, very familiar. We are going to see Gongga Snow Mountain, the area around Heishicheng is the best place to take sunset photos of Gongga Snow Mountain. Although it was cloudy when we set off, we still saw the king of Shushan, the whole picture of Gongga Snow Mountain. Unfortunately, we did not see the beautiful sunny Jinshan. Old Xu said that this season is already good, and it won’t be perfect until winter. That’s beauty! It was past ten o’clock in the night when I got down the mountain to the hotel… 4. How much does it cost to eat a meal in Sichuan and Tibet? Yesterday at noon we came to Xinduqiao. The leader Xu took us to the familiar “Tea Horse Road” hotel for dinner. He said that the food here was very delicious. As expected, everyone was very satisfied. The rice place also has such a delicious meal. how’s the price? I took a look at the menu, and the average talent is more than 40 yuan, which is very cost-effective. In fact, when entering Tibetan areas, in addition to playing, everyone is more concerned about food and accommodation. Now the conditions in Tibetan areas have greatly improved. Food and beverages have developed rapidly, and there are reasons for competition, so they are getting better and better, but the better ones need to be discovered what…… 5. Stay at Xinduqiao and experience high altitude Xinduqiao is an important stop of our trip, here is mainly to take photos of Gongga Snow Mountain in sunshine. Teacher Xu, who led the team, said that he has been to Black Rock City many times to shoot, and he has shot many good films in winter, but it is luck to see this season… I actually saw it, but it was cloudy, impenetrable, and no sunlight was taken. The shooting location here is close to 4800 meters above sea level. It was very cold at night, and finally descended to the Xinduqiao lodging at 3,600 meters above sea level. I did not expect that there is a hot wall in the house price. You can design the temperature by yourself, directly to 27 degrees, and the temperature will soon be So it’s so warm… At high altitude, there will be high antipathy. Some people start to have a headache. Old Xu repeatedly asked everyone not to take a bath, but some people still didn’t listen. After washing, he found out that he had a cold in the morning… It is troublesome to catch a cold in the plateau, it is easy to cause high reaction… We live on the edge of line 318 of Xinduqiao, and we started to take line 318 today… This hotel is called Meiyu Hotel. It is newly opened and the facilities are not bad. There is a simple breakfast. The off-season price is 120 yuan (standard room).

With a construction cost of 800 million VND, many people think that the owner has spent a waste of money or was overpriced by the contractor. The outside looks simple, simple and nothing special. However, if you step inside, “take a look at the market” in every corner, everyone will surely praise. The owner of this project is Mr. Tran Duc Cong, a photographer. Mr. Cong said that the family initially only planned to renovate the level 4 house, but after the architect came to survey, the structure was degraded and could not be renovated.

Therefore, the common element is focused, but the private space is separate, ensuring quiet. The porch on the left is spacious, with a path leading up to the 2nd floor stairs. This staircase is in an arc shape, embracing the avocado tree. A special feature is the stairs built with bricks and plastered with cement, matching the layout of the house. The entire roof is covered with red tile, heat resistant. Around the house, the architect arranged a dark aluminum and glass door system, opening the door to catch the wind in the afternoon.

The staircase is the perfect highlight for the building. The porch is also installed two swings to cool off. Swing made of wood and braided rope. The sitting net stretched from the house to the side of the pole. Mr. Cong said that this net is quite strong and can withstand large loads. The staircase seen from above is quite beautiful, creating a unique feature. The space connecting the two areas is turned into a place to drink tea and plant trees. The house from above is quite striking. The sun shines on the 2nd floor terrace. Mr. Cong confided that he was very enthusiastic about the project. This design has a bit of the direction of the houses in the old quarter of Hanoi. The space helps the owner to relax, gather with his family and also give him inspiration for creative photography.

In Vietnam, Dima traveled from North to South, living with indigenous people of many different ethnicities. The beautiful images of destinations such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Can Tho, Quang Binh, Lao Cai… are valuable additions to this Ukrainian photographer’s travel photography collection. Dima concluded, the best way to explore Vietnam is through the locals. In Can Tho, he had the best photos when watching the river life of the people here. Dima is amazed as the locals cook, raise their children and maintain their daily life on the river. “Look at these kids, they grew up in one of the most beautiful places in the world, but most have never been on land. Every day, children bathe in cool water and enjoy life. When communicating. With the local people, I am fascinated by the traditions that are always preserved,” said Dima. Dima spent a few days in the mountain villages of Sapa, where he met many Hmong people. To overcome communication difficulties, Dima revealed that Vietnamese people are usually very open-minded, so he can somewhat understand other people’s attitudes towards him by observing their facial expressions. Despite the language barrier, Dima was warmly received as a family guest. “Here the Black Hmong and the Red Dao live close to each other but have different languages. They lead an idyllic life in the highlands, the women do handicrafts and the men farm. Their villages are picturesque. , with terraced fields and surrounding mountains,” said Dima. Going to Hanoi, Dima still keeps a habit of following the pace of life of the locals. He is surprised that people in the capital get up very early and like to start their day with morning exercise.

I supported him and decided that mother and daughter would travel, explore architectural works and beautiful landscapes across the country to open up their eyes, form artistic thinking and observation ability. The mother and daughter’s first motorbike trip marked my journey to discover the country,” shared Ms. Bich Van. The companion on the first trip, Ms. Van, is her son On the first trip, she and her son “traveled” from Gia Lai to Buon Ma Thuot and then down Phuong Hoang Pass to Tuy Hoa.

The remarkable achievement list makes many genuine young “experts” also admire. The “single” trip to the Northwest lasted 2 months with many “cold memories” Before making this memorable trip, Ms. Bich Van had prepared mentally, financially, physically and equipped with all the necessary elements during the previous 3 years. She has carefully prepared from personal belongings, car repair tools to “rescue” items for herself along the way in case of an accident with the full support and help from her husband, younger brother and children. . She also planned in detail each financial need to spend. On August 22, 2020, she started her solo journey from her hometown of Gia Lai to the Northwest by motorbike and conquered the four great peaks of the pass.

The next day, climbing to the dinosaur spine, I was about to give up because I was too tired than I imagined. But then I told myself that after overcoming many difficulties to come here, I had to persevere, so I continued the journey. Around 5 pm, it was already dark, my guide and my sister moved to an abandoned shack and lit a big fire to warm up the leftovers that the group left behind. That day, we slept outside, without blankets and curtains under the cold of the highlands. That night, it rained heavily, we had to sleep in the deserted tent. At 6 am, waiting for the sky to clear, I continued to move. After 9 hours, I reached Tram Tau, completing the route spectacularly.” After 26km of Ta Xua Palace, she continued to climb other palaces in Yen Bai and was completely impressed by the scenery of mountains and majestic natural scenery of the country. Conquering difficult and risky roads, Ms. Bich Van makes even young people admire and admire because of her will and desire to pursue her passion, dare to think, dare to do… regardless of age. his work. She joked: “When I get old, I will tell my grandson that in the past, my 57-year-old grandmother used to work hard to “live virtual” on Facebook to get every “like” she said.

It didn’t take too much time to come up with ideas, 46 students in class 12A10, Luc Ngan No. 1 High School (Bac Giang) all agreed to take a yearbook that blends Vietnamese and Thai school styles. Instead of just wearing the traditional ao dai, the whole class decided to use the school uniform shirt, combined with the skirt and pants like the Thai school uniform. “We wanted to create a series of photos that were both simple and unique, but full of student character,” class member Bui Hoang Anh told Zing. Hoang Anh said the total cost to make the set of photos was 30 million VND, including the cost of hiring photographers and buying decorations. In addition to taking photos on campus, class 12A10 made another set of photos on the lawn. The members help each other do makeup, do hair, make use of everyday items such as books, brush, etc., thus saving part of the cost. “The week of preparing for the yearbook shooting, it was raining heavily, my class was all depressed because the rain was too heavy to take pictures. The whole class planned to change the schedule but couldn’t. Fortunately, the weather was favorable that day, the school yard was dry. , we easily completed the set of photos in just one day,” the class representative excitedly recounted. Wanting to save the best moments of student life, the whole class decided to “go with nature”, have fun together, chat while taking pictures. Familiar images such as corridors, classrooms, school yards, and even gymnasiums appear through photos of the class. Due to not being constrained in how to pose and express, the whole class quickly cooperated with the photography crew and kept up with the pace of work. Hoang Anh confided that the yearbook shooting day was also an opportunity for the whole class to talk and speak out their heart before graduation. The male student found that the photo session helped the whole class unite and understand each other. Many students who were normally quiet have become more inclusive and open-minded. “That day, almost everyone in my class cried, but thanks to those words, we understood each other better,” the male student recalled. After just one week, the yearbook of class 12A10, Luc Ngan No. 1 High School (Bac Giang) attracted more than 16,000 likes, 800 comments and more than 300 shares. Most netizens expressed their interest in the class’s natural and close-knit photos. “Shooting yearbook doesn’t need to go far, it doesn’t have to be fussy or fancy, as long as the whole class puts all their love into it, that’s the best thing,” commented one person. Receiving an enthusiastic response from the online community, class 12A10 could not hide their surprise. “I posted it that day, thought it wouldn’t be approved. Who would have thought that there were too many announcements until the evening, I opened it to see that everyone complimented us a lot. We are very happy that the series of photos received such a response from everyone. “, the male student recalled. Not only saving the best moments of student life, the class 12A10 wants to send the message of living to the fullest, living true to youth. “Later, we will realize the best thing is when we can wear the same uniform, study in the same class and see each other every day,” wrote Bui Hoang Anh.

A baby decorated with flowers when taking pictures. Although it has faded as digital has evolved, photographing the dead was once a huge business, a means of denouncing war crimes. The origin of the trend Currently, cameras are available on mobile devices so people can store images anytime, anywhere. However in the Victorian period, cameras were not so popular and convenient. Taking personal photos is also very expensive, so many people do not have any pictures while living. Until their death, relatives have spent a large amount of money on a photo to keep memories. Especially for families with the death of a child, it becomes more spiritual to take pictures. Early photos were often blurred, but not because of the technology of the camera at the time. Victorian cameras were capable of producing sharp images but the technology was very slow. Usually, the person being photographed must sit still for at least 20 seconds, no blinking or moving limbs. Even breathing can affect image sharpness. People are under pressure to sit or stand upright in clothes that are flat. Photographing the living person at that time was extremely difficult. On the contrary, it is easier to take pictures of the dead because they do not move or breathe or ruin the photo. Amateurs looking to improve their skills and create sharp images often find dead guests. Many people have saved a few photos while living, but because the quality of photos of dead people is usually better than those of living people, families still take pictures of them after death. This photo can show sharp details and features about the deceased. When corpses take pictures with loved ones, they also become “in focus” with sharp images while the people around them may be a little blurred. Nowadays, it seems crazy to spend large sums of money to take photos of the dead. But because today, or at least in the West, death is hidden, no longer lurking around. Modern people enjoy life to the fullest and often avoid thinking about or mentioning death. Death has become a foreign thing, a horror to them. But research from the University of North Carolina, USA, shows that during the Victorian period, human life expectancy was low while mortality was high. People have to constantly watch their relatives and friends pass away. In particular, it is common for children to die when they are young. From childhood, people have become acquainted and understood about death. The art of photographing the deceased Not only taking photos, but people want the pictures of the dead to come true and vivid as if they were just taking a nap. Death is often associated with mourning, but if you look at the Victorian photographs, the reality is the opposite. Photos of the deceased are quite beautiful. Many pictures are arranged or arranged purposefully. When photographing the dead became a major business during the Victorian era, trade magazines such as Philadelphia Photographer offered advice to “assist the amateurs in creating impressive photographs of the dead”. They suggested placing the corpse near a window to take advantage of natural light. Even so, sunlight cannot bring a corpse to life. Therefore, photographers have created many ways to make shooting the dead look more natural. After the photo was printed, they used color to paint the eyes wide to help the dead look soulful. Let the dead sit upright, loved ones can take pictures with and support their backs. Normally, it takes about three people to hold the arm, lift the dead person’s head, and some people use a support to help the dead stand upright. Families also often decorate teddy bears and toys around children to create a joyful, warm space, and comfort the little souls … However, more and more people photographing was transformed and commercialized. Celebrities died have become “prey” to the wings of photographers. They secretly attend funerals to take photos of celebrities to sell to newspapers or card printing companies in exchange for large sums of money. Many people, because of their idols or curiosity, have spent money to buy these pictures. For example, the photo of a French writer, Victor Hugo, who died looking like he was sleeping, was printed in large numbers on postcards. Soldiers died in the American Civil War. Exposure to war crimes Photographing the dead isn’t just limited to the home. When photography became popular, the American civil war broke out. Photographers have another task is to take pictures of the battlefield. In it, it is indispensable to take photos of the generals and soldiers who died in different poses, but all in all are bloody, haunting moments. War is a strange thing for people living in a peaceful area, but photography has brought war closer to everyone. The sacrifices of the soldiers denounce the cruelty and the heavy damage that war brings. War photos are displayed at photo galleries, published in newspapers or as souvenirs. They have had a strong impact on people’s awareness of war crimes, and spurred movements to restore peace. The trend disappeared In the early 20th century, photographing the dead was no longer popular because of changes in society. Thanks to the development of health care, the infant and population mortality rate has sharply decreased. From the 1900s, whether old or young, when sick, they are admitted to the hospital and may die in them without relatives. This means death takes place behind closed doors, rather than in the comfortable and open spaces of the house. Furthermore, photography has become more popular. Everyone can take pictures many times by themselves, without the need for a photographer, it is no longer feasible to take a “single and last” photo. However, photographing of the dead still exists, but for more privacy or for special purposes. In the present era, it will not be easy to see pictures of the deceased even though this trend has flourished many decades ago.

Admire the giant super yacht moving through a narrow canal in the Netherlands Producing a large yacht is a process, but transporting it is an art. We do not always have the opportunity to admire super yachts in real life, especially with massive super yacht models. Especially when a super yacht weaving through a narrow canal is a very rare thing in the world. Yacht photographer Tom van Oossanen captured very interesting scenes when Project 817, a large yacht built by Dutch shipbuilder Feadship, was transported from the Kaag Island facility to the Sea. North at the port of Rotterdam last week. In the series of images released by Tom van Oossanen, Project 87, one of the biggest super yachts to be launched this year is being transported through the blocks of houses and churches, making the crowd admire. According to Oossanen, about 4 to 6 super yachts are transported along the route each year before being taken for sea trials. However, there are few “big” projects like Project 817, likely to be named Viva when it officially launches. During the two days following Project 817’s journey closely, Oossanen said some of the people present were puzzled by the sight, and asked questions such as “Why did someone drive a yacht? here?” According to Oossanen, each yacht is transported on a similar route, but no yacht is the same. Therefore, he always wants to find new ways to bring new experiences to viewers. “It’s always a route, but I’m always trying to find different perspectives.” The photographer wants to document this journey, as he believes this may be the last time such a large yacht has been transported along the canal. In the early stages of the transport, Viva was moved from the shipyard on the island of Kaag to Lake Braassemermeer, where it would be fitted with cotton underneath to aid yachts floating in shallow water. The two push-and-pull ships are then attached to cardboard in the front and rear of the yacht to aid in the correct direction. By this point, it was ready to be pushed and pulled along the canals, across a small bridge in the village of Woubrugge and the town of Alphen aan den Rijn before reaching the city of Gouda located south of Amsterdam. According to Feadship, a team of 5 experts and a crew on board will be responsible for bringing the yacht to sea. The Feadship confirmed to CNN that the yacht was successfully transported to Rotterdam and is ready for sea trials. Designed by Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture and De Voogt, the hybrid Viva-powered yacht with a pearl white exterior color is one of the biggest super yachts at the moment.

Son Tra Peninsula is one of the famous tourist attractions in Da Nang. Most of the tourists who love nature and photography coming to Da Nang choose this as a destination not to be missed. These days, it is not difficult to see limestone trees blooming brightly yellow flowers on Son Tra peninsula. Liming flower is also known as iron or golden phoenix, golden message, golden phoenix, is a kind of tree. In Da Nang, this flower is also grown a lot to create beautiful landscapes and shade on the streets. Lim on the Son Tra peninsula usually blooms brilliantly in mid-March and lasts until June. In particular, the perennial limestone trees are also the shelter, foraging … of rare brown-shanked douc families on Son Tra peninsula. The color of this distinctive flower and the image of brown-shanked douc langurs makes a unique impression, attracting residents, tourists and photographers. To be able to “hunt” this langur, photographers have to be very diligent and time consuming plus luck to be able to take beautiful pictures of this rare animal. “To capture langurs as well as limbo flowers, it takes time, luck and professional camera equipment to capture beautiful pictures of langurs next to this flower because they often reside. in branches very high a few tens of meters ”, Mr. Hai Son – who regularly takes pictures in Son Tra, shares. The image of precious langurs swinging on the tree tops, including the limestone tree, has become the “trademark” of Son Tra peninsula. In the experience of photographers, early morning and late afternoon, when langurs appear, it is time to take beautiful pictures.

The ‘giant’ struggled to make his way through a Dutch canal Large super yachts weave through narrow canals in the Netherlands to create a very impressive scene, looking like a bulky giant walking among the tiny crowd. But not every day visitors also have the opportunity to admire that spectacle. Photographer Tom van Oossanen was fortunate to be present in time capturing those amazing scenes of a yacht up to 94 meters long. The ship, built by Dutch shipyard Feadship, has transported from the Kaag Island facility to the North Sea in Rotterdam. In a series of stunning images, the ship travels on the water passing by old houses and churches, making the crowd in awe. According to Tom van Oossanen, there are about 4 to 6 super yachts transported along the route each year before the start of the sea trials that normally take place in Amsterdam. “It’s always been a pretty complicated activity and everyone loves to watch,” said Oossanen. The design of the super boat is calculated very closely to perfectly fit for easy transport on water. Oossanen once saw four large super yachts on the same cruise. Designers have made a product whose dimensions cannot add one centimeter in length or subtract another centimeter in width. They have maximized the best design. Transshipment time depends on various factors such as wind direction, wind speed, bridge schedule, which can take from two to four days. Photographer Oossanen has captured such a transitional moment many times, but he emphasized that no scene is the same and that he himself is constantly trying to find new points. “Every boat is different. It’s always on the same route, but I try to find different angles,” he said. The design of the ship was carefully speculated to be able to get through the Dutch canal The photographer especially wanted to document this journey as he believes it may be one of the last times a ship of this size will travel along the route. It is known that Feadship has opened a new facility in Amsterdam, the Netherlands capable of building super yachts up to 160 meters long. The Dutch government has also confirmed the expansion plan in Kornwerderzand, which means that large ships can go directly from Makkum to the North Sea in the future.

Skybed Scar – mighty lion king once dominated the Kruger grassland. In April 2018, in Kruger National Park, South Africa, photographers Larry Pannell and Greg Parker took a rare set of photos of male lions that spontaneously breath their last breath outside of the wild. wild. In the last moments of his life, Skybed Scar – the mighty lion king that once dominated the Kruger grassland and photographers stood at a distance of more than one meter apart. This male lion is a famous lion king in Kruger Park and once dominated a swarm of lions for several years. In his heyday. Skybed Scar has a mighty and majestic appearance, with muscular muscles and a loud roar that can make the surrounding herbivores tremble, even other male lions want to usurp its throne. also must carefully consider the enormous power hidden in this roar. However, at the time the two photographers took these pictures, Scar was older and had to leave her lions, or be kicked out of the lions, so she could only hunt alone. Lions are the only species of herd social behavior among large cats. They hunt together and take care of the offspring in herds. This makes them more effective at hunting and may even kill large animals such as the African buffalo. A group of lions will normally consist of a male lion and a few female lions, sometimes even a group of lions running in the background. A group of lions can have up to 50 individuals and in such large groups there may also be a few more mature male lions. Throughout her life, female lions in a group of lions will be mainly responsible for hunting, while male lions are mainly responsible for territorial patrol, threatening other lions or other lions. invaders, protect the safety of lions, and sometimes help female lions with hunting. When the male lions are close to reaching adulthood (under 3 years old) they will be kicked out of the herd to roam, sometimes they will bond with a few male lions like them to hunt together. bait. Until these male lions are 6 years old (fully mature), they will bring their power to battle with other male lions to gain dominance over lions. The defeated dominant male lions will often be killed by severe wounds, but if they are not dead, the rulers of this era will be kicked out of the pack and have to roam alone, even if they do. being a target for hyenas and being able to die naturally would become a luxury. The photographer saw the Skybed Scar at a watering hole, where usually a herd of small elephants drink. When they got there, they noticed that a lion was drinking water on the shore, seemingly having a problem with its left leg because its seat angle is not very normal right now. And then they saw the lion standing up in a swaying posture like a drunk, but finally they discovered that it was an old lion and had not eaten for a long time, its body covered with skin bone. Parker is a local photographer and recognized the old lion as Skybed Scar. It left the puddle and stumbled toward a small, tall field. Every few steps it will stop, bow to rest, accumulate the remaining strength in the body to be able to take a few more steps. After walking up the high ground, Skybed Scar looked back at the puddle one last time and then slowly stepped down the slope, but only halfway through the road it fell. But just then, a herd of elephants came to the puddle to play and to satisfy its thirst, an elephant left the herd of elephants toward the high ground, seemingly wanting to stand at a higher position to see the pulse Are there any dangers around? At first, it did not detect Lion Scar at 30 meters away, and Scar deliberately avoided view to avoid the elephant from discovering her. But unfortunately, the elephant still found it, stepped back and rushed towards Scar with a roar, when the other elephants heard the sound, they started to rush towards the old lion. Scar wanted to growl at the elephants as a child to drive away these terrifying giants, but right now, she had only one option, to turn around and run with all her might. The sound of loud footsteps gradually disappeared, the dust also subsided, two photographers drove to find the old lion, finally found Scar lying on the grass under the shade of trees, dying unable to move. This last run had obviously exhausted him. Scar looked at the photographer with sad eyes, no one dared to approach the former king, but now, the photographer more than a meter away, stared at its death. The old lion breathed hard, his chest was undulating weakly, and his eyes were fading. Finally, after taking his last breath, Skar safely left this world with his eyes closed forever, and a generation of lion kings fell.

Antonio Olmos has been in Brighton (UK) since November 2020 for many personal reasons. When the area was blocked off, he took pictures of his life during social exclusion. Instead of the usual shooting contributions, Antonio discovered an interesting thing on the beach in Brighton. According to Antonio, the lock photos provide a metaphor for a blockade during the season. “There are 459 such bungalows on the beach stretching less than 3 km, from Hove Lawns to Hove Lagoon. I took 423 and only one was left without a lock,” Antonio said. Shooting the locks is not easy at all. This should be done on an overcast day as the sun is often reflected on the lacquered surface. This causes imperfect colors in the image. Antonio made the photo set with the Canon 5D mark IV and 24-70mm lens (mainly at focal length 50 mm). “A lot of people are curious about what I am doing. Some even think I work for the government and are checking to see if people have locked the doors,” Antonio said. Besides curiosity from the locals, Antonio also had a bit of trouble. One resident accused him of taking pictures with intent to break into. A lock has rusted after a long time of use. “In a world where everything is captured, it’s great to find something of your own,” says Antonio of his unique set of photos.

Nguyen Ngoc Ga, a photographer living in Da Lat (Lam Dong) often spends once a year to visit his hometown of Quang Ngai. Leaving the busy streets of tourists in Da Lat, he felt a peaceful breath in his days back home. “I come from Quang Ngai but only come back once a year so I don’t know the point, I have to look it up online. In the morning, I often go for a walk and record the daily life of the people. very beautiful, “shared Ngoc Ga. In the photo, a resident is catching mussels in Sa Huynh. During her return to her hometown, Ngoc Ga spent her time traveling to many places such as My A Sea, Sa Huynh Sea, Sa Huynh salt field, Ly Son island, Ba To mountain area … “Quang Ngai is a pristine land, The weather is harsh, hot and often subject to natural disasters and floods, “he said. My A sea mouth (Duc Pho) has a vague color in the moment of harmony between light and darkness. This is not a tourist destination that is often interested by tourists. This place mainly concentrates fishing boats of fishermen. Walking around this area you will also find breakwaters covered with green moss. People mentioned a lot about the breakwater and moss season in Phu Yen. However, few people know that in Quang Ngai, there are also wave-breakers in this beautiful picture. “The scenery here is beautiful but the tourism has not made a breakthrough. I think Quang Ngai needs to invest heavily in island tourism, connecting tours, routes, expanding the convenient shuttle system to Ly Son”, he commented. During the day wandering at the estuary of My A sea, Ngoc Ga waited until night to record the moment of the galaxy on top of the shipyard. A place with little light and fresh air like Quang Ngai is a great destination for photographers looking for “milky way” hunting. A corner of the starry sky above the waves covered with green moss. The gentle and peaceful life of the local people makes Ngoc Ga want to go more and record the moments of everyday life. These green fishing nets are indispensable tools for livelihoods for marine fishermen. However, it also often appears in the photos of many photographers. They often refer to these nets as “the ribbon of the sea”. “There are lonely trees in my hometown, but no one mentioned them,” said the photographer. This photo was taken by Ngoc Ga on Be Island (Ly Son). Compared to many other regions in Quang Ngai, Ly Son is more popular with tourists. However, according to Ngoc Ga, Quang Ngai deserves to be known more, instead of just Ly Son as it is now. “My hometown has a favorable geographical position such as Da Nang – Quang Ngai expressway, Chu Lai airport, Dung Quat deep sea port. More than 100 km of beautiful coastline with Ly Son, Yen ganh, Sa Huynh. .. Quang Ngai’s topography is also diverse and many relics, cultural and historical sites “, Ngoc Ga said.

This is the outfit I wear every day. A pair of boots paired with leather pants and a tank top that has the rebellious vibe. To add a highlight to the black set, I usually choose a colored jacket but still match my image. I often buy different styles of flared pants in material such as denim, velvet, leather or khaki. To me, wearing colorful outfits also shows some positive emotions. Usually, it only takes me 15 minutes to choose what to wear every day, one shirt should wear with pants and choose which jacket to add. If I prefer fancy clothes, I will wear pants with different designs with bright colors. I have always liked to have my hair un-curled and not thoroughly waxed, because neat, well-groomed hairstyles will not match my rebellious style, my personality. I am not in the habit of buying things many times a month, but often depends on the budget. In the past, I diligently hunted silhouettes, once a week. When I have a little more money, I will always buy new things. One month my money to buy things is less than 5 million. I call my style mixed fashion. Every year, I will find beauty in styles that I personally impress like punk rock, vintage. From there, I apply myself. What I always put first for myself is to wear what feels comfortable, that’s me the most. My current style combines learning and what I like in life to create my own personality. My process of rediscovering myself is learning who I am, accumulated over the years. Each different lifestyle will always bring its own fashion story.
