As promised in my last blog post, I thought I would share my experience of my day trip to Macau (which lies on the western side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the North). I went to China with my Dad and we were both in agreement that it would be a shame for me not to go and explore a little further out.
Having heard that Macau was only a two and a half hour coach ride away, off I went for the day by myself.
On Sunday 23rd November I departed on one of my most eagerly awaited trips in years, South East China & Hong Kong. I’d never visited this side of world before but I had seen countless photographs from the likes of Edward Burtynsky and other global topographers/photographers, but it’s never quite as good as seeing it for yourself.
I arrived in Guangzhou on Monday 24th November and spent the following two days exploring the city and seeing the sites.
As I only had a few days there, I thought I would approach documenting the city in a similar way to my Blackpool project, responding to the journey as I went along.
