Chinese Tourism Boom makes a critical observation on the current growing Chinese tourism trade, as the number of Chinese tourists increases dramatically year by year. The project is a satiric commentary on the mass movements of people for cultural consumption and a blind desire to visit tourist spots. The images focus on the social interactions between group members and leaders, tourists and the landscape.
