A day in Ningbo, China 🇨🇳 where ancient heritage meets modernity.
The city is not very well known internationally, although it's very rich in history and sights. And it's as big as London.

Civita di Bagnoregio, the “dying town,” perched above the dramatic Calanchi Valley. A timeless beauty, slowly eroded by nature yet standing resilient. One of Italy’s most surreal and captivating sights.
