About my visit in 2009-oct:

My second visit to Shanghai took place in October 2009, only about six months after my very first journey to China. The trip was a wonderful mix of reunions; I was there to meet up with my Danish friend Anders, as well as Ms. Jing, whom I had met during my first travels.

I shared some memorable evenings out in the city with Anders, and especially with Jing and her family, who welcomed me with incredible hospitality. I stayed at the same hotel as I did in April, which added a sense of familiarity to the bustling metropolis. Unfortunately, my evening photos from The Bund turned out indescribably poor... but I promise, they will get better! :-)

Jing's family arranged a one day trip to Yellow Mountain in Anhui province, where we visited the ancient city of Hongcun. A very charming litte town and I even got a few good photos too :-)

Check out the provinces in China ...

About this photoalbum

In February 2026, I reorganized my entire collection of photos from my travels in China spanning 2009 to 2025. Previously, the images were sorted by year, with locations nested under each trip.

However, analytics show that more than 80% of my visitors come from China and Singapore. For them —and hopefully for many others— I believe this new structure is much more intuitive. The photos are now organized by location, with provinces and major cities as the primary categories. Under each destination, you will find subfolders for the specific years and months of my visits.
