China is Always in My Heart

A flick of a moment | Hebei & Shandong

A quiet visit to a temple in Hebei province offered a pause from movement- stone, incense, old trees, and a sense of stillness that speaks beyond words. Moments like these remind me how deeply history, belief, and nature are woven into everyday life in China.

In the below album you can also find the famous Chinese ‘lockers of the heart,’ often seen as padlocks on bridges or railings, symbolize love and the commitment of the heart. Couples attach these locks to signify their unbreakable bond, writing their names or messages on them as a promise of enduring affection and loyalty.

Reunion with Loved Ones

In Shandong Province, the journey continued through taste. Simple places, no decoration—just some of the best dumplings I’ve had. Handmade, honest, and rooted in local tradition. Travel is often remembered not by landmarks alone, but by clam moments with people you love and flavors that stay with you long after.

Talking about Love...

From bustling streets to serene bridges, China’s love locks remind us that love is a promise we can choose to seal with our hearts. So whether you’re visiting or simply daydreaming, remember to cherish the connections that matter most. 💖
