Shaanxi Province: The Gateway to Ancient China
Shaanxi is where Chinese civilization began. Most famous for the Terracotta Army and the ancient walled city of Xi'an, it is a province that breathes history. My journeys here are deeply personal, ranging from the historic Bell Tower Hotel to the rugged Loess Plateau in Zhidan (Bao'an), where I participated in a traditional 500-guest wedding in the cradle of the revolution.

About this photoalbum
In February 2026, I reorganized my entire collection of photos from my travels in China spanning 2009 to 2025. Previously, the images were sorted by year, with locations nested under each trip.However, analytics show that more than 80% of my visitors come from China and Singapore. For them —and hopefully for many others— I believe this new structure is much more intuitive. The photos are now organized by location, with provinces and major cities as the primary categories. Under each destination, you will find subfolders for the specific years and months of my visits.

I hope you enjoy this journey through a changing China.
