Misc

I am a landscape photographer with more than 5 years of photography experience. I’ve traveled to many places with my Sony A7M4 and recorded the beauty of plateaus, snow-capped mountains, and starry skies. I occasionally post some videos on my Bilibili account and welcome your attention.


2025.3.7 Mount Fuji in Japan. I cycled around the lake and felt the majesty of the mountains.

2023.10.18 I climbed over a mountain valley at an altitude of 4650m. Above the clouds, I was waiting for the sunrise.

2023.10.17 I camped on Siguniang Shan and watched the stars in Sichuan Province. I saw the Milky Way hanging on Yaomei Peak.
