2019

One day trip to Guangzhou during Duanwu holidays. This is my first time in Guangzhou. There is only half an hour train ride between Shenzhen and Guangzhou, yet the difference between two cities is obvious. I start from Haizhu Square and end in Haizhu Square after 23 km walk.

Selected photos taken in May 2019. I come back to Shenyang in the beginning of the month. Eva still knows me. As I settled down, I buy some new decoration and plants. I try to run the mountain in the morning and eat homemade lunch whenever possible. I hope those can work. I visit Shenzhen University during weekend. It is a beautiful campus, which could have been a nice place to run if I lived nearby.

Selected photos taken in April 2019. The work load is catching up and I can hardly keep selecting photos on time. I should really “select” photos. But sometimes selecting photos takes more time than show them all.

I feel guilty to stay at home in the holiday even though I just climbed the Wutong Mountain yesterday. I have been reasearching the Yinhushan Countryside Park for a long while, so I find its entrance and take a 10 km hike.

On the first day of Qingming holidays I climb Wutong mountain with friends. The distance to Big Wutong is a little bit beyond our expectation, so we change course to Small Wutong and go downhill into the Xianhu Botanical Garden. It is a tough day so we reward ourself with Haidilao for dinner.

The last day of March, which is also my first resting weekend in Shenzhen, I visited Lianhuashan (Lotus Hill) park. I was impressed by the variety of the plants that I barely saw before.

Selected photos taken in March 2019. My mileage of this month was off the chart. I moved from Beijing to Shenzhen. As someone comes from outside Shanhaiguan pass, I am still outside a pass (Meilinguan) after traveling two thousands kilometers south. It’s probably the best arrangement that I could leave Beijing in her most beautiful season.

Selected photos taken in Feb. 2019. It is a short and eventful month, which has Chinese New Year, St Valentine’s Day, and the Lantern Festival. The passing years are not gone but help make me who I am. I’ll never step on a manhole cover any more.

Selected photos taken in Jan. 2019. Winter has come, and it’s cold (not literally).
