Journalist hopes to cover beauty in empty capital

While most people returned home during Spring Festival, Zhao Heting, 30, a photojournalist at Tencent News, snapped pictures in Beijing, documenting the "spring travel" - the world's largest annual human migration - and the empty capital it leaves behind.

The 30-year-old photojournalist at Tencent News was born in Liaoning province. He worked for a local newspaper in Hunan province for three years before coming to Beijing in 2015.

"This is my first time taking pictures of the empty capital," Zhao said. "I can't even imagine how surreal it must be to see the typically crowded subways, shopping malls and roads become hollow. You don't see scenes like these every day."
