Helena Kristel, Lijiang, China (Travel 2017)

The ancient village of Shuhe near Lijiang in China is a beautiful place. The people are friendly and every morning a number of them sell their locally grown produce in the square. Band members were playing unusual instruments at a temple in the area, it was a wonderful experience. Shuhe attracts many brides and grooms along with their photographers, photographing the couple in a variety of settings. It was pretty special to see all these young couples either in traditional or modern clothing making memories.
