Hangzhou in July — Streets, Water and Quiet Corners

In July 2026, I explored Hangzhou with my camera FUJIFILM X-PRO3, looking beyond the city’s famous landmarks to discover the quieter side of this historic Chinese city. From traditional streets and old architectural details to canals, reflections and everyday life, Hangzhou constantly shifts between the energy of a modern metropolis and the slower rhythm of its ancient waterways.

I also spent time photographing Xixi Wetland, where the city gives way to a landscape of narrow canals, dense vegetation, traditional houses and wooden boats. Here, reflections on the water and the surrounding greenery create a completely different atmosphere from the busy streets of central Hangzhou.

This collection is my personal visual journey through Hangzhou — a city of water, history, architecture and everyday moments, photographed as I experienced it in July 2026.
