Moments in Guangzhou: A Traveler's Sketchbook
Moments in Guangzhou: A Traveler's Sketchbook
Description
Book Introduction
“Every day in Guangzhou becomes a painting.”

An engineer dispatched to Guangzhou for a large TV panel factory construction project took to the streets with a sketchbook on his holiday.
The Guangzhou he encountered was not just an unfamiliar city, but a dynamic space where history and modernity, tradition and youth, nature and artificiality blended together.
"A Traveler's Sketchbook: Moments Encountered in Guangzhou" is a travelogue and urban humanities essay written and illustrated by the author, who majored in architectural engineering, about the cityscape of Guangzhou that he saw and felt during his two-year stay there.
I personally visited over 40 major tourist attractions and hidden travel destinations in Guangzhou, China, and carefully captured the scenery in my paintings.
Not only travel information, but also the author's warm gaze and experiences and emotions resonate gently as you turn the pages.
