Our Photo of the Day series this week shares works from photographer Pavel Dvorak. Of this shot, he says:
“Phoenix Town”, or Fenghuang, is always so idyllic on pictures. But don’t be deceived. It’s a big touristy place full of people, shops, bars, and clubs. Every day and night narrow streets are rumbling with energy from all these visitors and locals as well. It is a nice place to have fun, but it is hard to find the feeling of old China anymore — except during early mornings. A good thing about modern life is that it is very lazy. Every town has its own, unique morning spirit. So does Fenghuang.
Pavel is a Slovak content creator based in Shanghai. He moved to China in 2009 after receiving a double major in Chinese culture-language in Czech Republic. He organizes cross-cultural business events and recently began taking his business clients beyond the big cities and out to off-the-beaten-path adventures. Pavel’s works have been published in various media internationally, and awarded at the International Movie Festival Karlovy Vary. You can check out Pavel’s website here.
