When Qi arrives in a city for the first time, he usually visits two locations to start his exploration-food markets and parks. He likes homestay tours, which bring him firsthand experiences of local customs, cuisine and lifestyle.

Besides taking photos, videos and writing diaries to record his trips, Qi also enjoys running when he arrives in a foreign place.

"Running in a city, which I have not visited before, allows me to discover something new and soak in its sights, sounds and smells."
