In my previous post<\/a><\/strong>, I mentioned about the collaboration
\nbetween Fujifilm Singapore and myself for a webseries.<\/p>\n

This Episode of the Webseries is filmed in Zhuji, China
\nUpdated Part 2 can be watched here<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Zhuji City, in the Zhejiang Province of China, is one of the biggest hubs for freshwater pearls in the world. Zhuji is also the capital of the ancient Yue Kingdom and native town of Xishi, a legendary beauty in the old China.
\nUnsurprisingly, Zhuji boasts the largest pearl market and distribution center for freshwater pearls in the world. From there, pearls are exported to more than 50 countries.
\n95% of freshwater pearls are cultured in China, with 90% of those gems coming from Zhuji which are mainly sold through the Zhuji Pearls Market
\nYou will see how they harvest the pearls at the 2nd half of the video.<\/p>\n

The first part of the video was taken at The Thousand Pillar House
\nThe Thousand Pillar house built by Si Yuanru in the Qing Jiaqing period (1796-1820) of Qing Dynasty, is located
\nin Sizhai Village.
\nThe scenic spot is renowned for a land of wonder and profound culture and history..
\nResidents still stay there till this day
\nWe were also very lucky to be able to witness the residents roasting tea leaves during the trip<\/p>\n

Though Zhuji is not as popular as alot of major cities in China, it definitely has its charm.
\nLook out for Part 2 of this series, to see more sights or this beautiful city<\/p>\n

I have also led photography tours to this beautiful place since 2016
\nAnd have been to the place over 20 times in these 3 years
\nI have a trip to Zhuji in November 2019
\nCheck out the details here<\/a> if you are interested<\/p>\n
