Thinking in Wangfujing

Part of the 2018 The China Project photo contest.


This photo was taken this past February near Wangfujing in Beijing. It was my first time visiting the area since I moved here in January. Anyone who has been to Wangfujing knows how crazy busy the area is, with all the shops and restaurants and mall there. While leaving the area, I walked down one of the small streets leading out, and I saw this man sitting there quietly. I thought it was nice that so close to such a busy environment, he found a place to just sit and think.
