Planning to visit China? 🇨🇳 Save this reel for inspo! Here are 8 places to visit that blew my mind 🤯 Make sure to share this with someone you’d want to go with! If you’re planing to visit all these places, make sure to plan time. Doing all the spots properly will take ~2 weeks, and will involve a LOT of travel. But if you’re up for an adventure, do it! 1. Wangxian Valley 2. Zhangjiajie (Sky Garden & Tianmen Mountain) 3. Furong Town 4. Wulong (Three Natural Bridges) 5. Chongqing (Hongyadong) 6. Guilin (Yangshuo) 7. Chengdu (Tianfu International Finance Centre & Dujiangyan Zhongshuge) 8. Shanghai (The Bund & Disneyland) #china #travel #earth

Hirosaki Park, located in Japan, has GOT to be one of the most beautiful places to see the cherry blossoms 😍 Located in western Aomori prefecture about a 5 hour train ride away from Tokyo, Hirosaki Park is home to the famous cherry blossom heart 🌸❤️ However, seeing the cherry blossoms here is quite difficult to plan for, as it blooms nearly a month later than most popular places such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, so you’ll have to stay longer in Japan if you want to catch it all…and it’s a bit of a mission to get there as it’s FAR up north, and you’d need to plan two days to stay overnight 😅 If you plan on going, good luck! 📸: Taken on April 28th, 2025 Had to blur out a kid’s face for her privacy ☺️ 📍: Hirosaki Park, Japan 🇯🇵 #japan #cherryblossoms #hirosaki #visitjapanjp #travel #aomori #cherryblossom #sakura #heart

Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest free-standing mountain and tallest mountain in all of Africa. It took seven days to reach 19,341 feet (5895 meters), and it was the most amazing feeling reaching the top. I sobbed. Unforgettable. If you want to learn more about hiking Kilimanjaro shoot me a message or visit @altezza.travel , the incredible team that got me up and down, safe and sound. #kilimanjaro #hiking #hike #tanzania🇹🇿 #tanzania #mountkilimanjaro #earth #travel #drone

One flight, infinite possibilities 🤯 Chongqing, the cyberpunk city of China shot on the new @djiglboal Avata360. It’s actually super easy to use…all you have to do is fly straight, and in post you can reframe it however you want! It’s a great tool for travellers that want a 360 view of their adventures, or for creators to create unique perspectives with. Before y’all ask, yes this was shot legally with the necessary permits, registration, and police approval (it was a MISSION and expensive) 😂 #china #chongqing #dji #djiglobal #ad

The beautiful colours of Vietnam, shot last September 🇻🇳 Which frame is your favourite? All taken with the @djiglobal Mini 5 Pro and the @canoncanada EOS R5 with various lenses. I was planning to host a photography workshop in Vietnam this September, but after I planned everything, I realized I have to move out of my apartment during at the EXACT period that I was planning to go 😭 So now I am thinking of postpone it to 2027. Stay tuned, and let me know if you’d be interested! #vietnam #travel #earth #videography

Filming at night? Not a problem for the new @djiglobal Osmo Pocket 4! Last month, I took the brand new Pocket 4 around China to see how it performs in low-light conditions, specifically cityscapes. I played around with both the low-light mode and just regular video, and I’m very impressed with the results. As you can see in the shots, I was able to retain SO much detail in the highlights (they’re not blown out white), white keeping the shadows intact. That’s very impressive for a pocket gimbal! #dji #djiglobal #osmo #china #pocket4 AD

I climbed the viral 5,000 ft high Sky Ladder in China 😱🇨🇳 Share this with someone that would dare to try this! When I signed up to do the Sky Ladder in Zhangjiajie, China, I honestly did ZERO research and had no idea what to expect 😅 I knew I’d be going on the ladder, but I was NOT prepared for the hour-long via ferrata to get there, nor a freaking TIGHT ROPE 😰 I’m not the biggest fan of heights (I’m terrified), but when @djiglobal asked me to showcase the Osmo 360, I thought this would be the perfect activity, especially since I need both my hands to hang on for dear life! 📍: Seven Star Mountain in Zhangjiajie, China 🇨🇳 #dji #djiglobal #china #zhangjiajie #osmo360 AD

Reminder that Japan will look like this in a month 💜 Most people chase cherry blossoms in Japan around this time of the year, but miss the wisteria since they typically bloom later. This was taken at Kawachi Fujien in Fukuoka, on May 1st last year. I do recommend going early in the morning and to reserve your tickets online! #japan #fukuoka #travel #wisteria #demonslayer

My camera roll after three days visiting Jasper National Park 🤳 Did you know that Jasper is home to the second largest Dark Sky Preserve in the world? From stargazing and chasing northern lights, to frozen waterfalls, and canyon walks, there’s so much to do in Jasper. Save this reel for your trip next winter! #ExploreAlberta #TravelAlberta #Alberta #Jasper #Canada

A cormorant fisherman fishing on the Li River in Guangxi, China 🇨🇳 Taken last May with a @canoncanada EOS R5 and RF24-70mm f/2.8. I’m so excited to be back in China this month to explore more of what this beautiful country has to offer. Is China on your bucket list? 👀 #china #yangshuo #guilin #travel #photography

Welcome to Palau, a stunning Micronesia archipelago of over 500 islands 🇵🇼 From scuba diving in a cave to watching manta rays circle above, this was an incredible experience. Swipe to the end to watch me get attacked by a triggerfish in Palau 😂 Taken on an amazing trip to Palau last year with @fsexplorerpalau and some amazing friends 🤿 #palau #Travel #FourSeasons
