Photographer captures China in his lens

Trey Ratcliff, a travel photographer from the United States, took part in a photo tour of four Chinese cities recently, as part of his "80 Stays Around the World" tour.

During his trip, Ratcliff spent time in Beijing, Tianjin, Chengdu and Shanghai, where he was joined by some of China's most influential photographers and figures from the industry. Each city he passed through he documented through his lens, posting pictures on social media telling the story of his journey.

Along the way, Ratcliff rested his head each night in the local Ritz-Carlton hotel, whose parent company sponsored the photographer.
