Travel photographer Scott Sporleder strikes again.

The following images were taken during a three-month journey throughout China. These are the scenes I captured while winding in and out of towns via bus and train, from the bustle of Beijing hutongs to the beautiful plateaus of Sichuan province.

    These are brilliant Scott. Seems like we had almost the same route. Not many people were venturing out to Jiuzhaigou when we were there (it was one of my favourite places in China)…and hardly anyone stopped in Pingyao. Did you go to Songpan as well?

    Wonderful photos, the image you’ve captured of Shanghai (#20) is very striking.

    All of these photos are incredible, but I find #3, Soldiers in the Forbidden City, Beijing, especially striking.

    Beautiful! #17 was my favourite, it took me back to my hutong-wandering on a trip through China three years ago.
