Sycamore Video Abroad: Jacob Church Part 2

Nǐ hǎo everyone! This is Jacob Church, General Manager of Sycamore Video. Between the days of May 10th to May 28th I was filming a video for ISU Political/Environmental Science and Economics Departments in China. We started our trip in Shanghai and ended in Beijing. While studying abroad I witnessed many wonderful things I wanted to share with you during my stay in China, but I was unable to log onto our blog due to China's restrictions on micro-blogging. But since I am back in the USA I wanted to share some of the photos I took while spending time in such a beautiful and amazing country.

This is an authentic Chinese market near the Three Gorges area.

The White Amber City also located in the Three Gorges area.

This is a beautiful dragon statue I saw within the White Amber City. In Chinese culture, the dragon represents men and royalty. I saw many dragon statues during my trip.

This is a picture I took of classic Chinese architecture at the North Tomb located near Shenyang.

The emperor's throne also located in the North Tomb.

I hope you enjoyed the photos I took, I still need to sort through quite a bit so be on the look out for more photographs from my journey in China in the near future. Zài jiàn!
