Location: Sichuan, China
Our group was walking through the village of Qing Xi which was a place made for all sorts of photos. The residents are Muslims whose ancestors migrated along the Silk Road. It is exotic and romantic. I was trying to get pictures of the residents - who were very happy to oblige the Western Lady with the camera. This little boy was just sitting outside his parents shop have a great time looking at the Westerners (we were the first trip Nat Hab took to China after the pandemic, so we were definitely considered oddities). I just loved how happy he was to be sitting out there.
