After walking for nearly 10 kilometers by China's Huangshan Mountain, and just as he was the edge of giving up, Phil Lecomte caught sight of a beautiful village. This moment took place 15 years ago, the Frenchman traveled to Huangshan Mountain for the first time. He has since traveled to China almost yearly.
In 2012, Lecomte became a tour guide and his trip to China turned into a long-term stay. Unlike other guides, he (rare) takes his guests - mostly foreigners - to the often visited (attraction). Instead, he often hikes or rides a motorcycle with his friends, away from noisy cities, to search for (hide) scenery scattered(分散的) around Huangshan Mountain.
Lecomte (enjoy) time spent hiking with his Chinese and foreign friends. They sing and play the guitar by clear streams, chat with locals picking tea, fall asleep to the sounds of frogs and insects.
Now, he also shares the beautiful moments he captures on his camera on Chinese social media, like images of an old man (sit) in a chair reading a book against the sunset, or children running around ancient village waving colorful fish lanterns. Lecomte (take) more than 118,000 photos in China to date.
