Hey! My name is Ian Carrico, and I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin who is studying abroad right here in the city of Beijing at Beiwai University. I have been loving living in the city, and want to share some of my experiences here. One day my friends and I decided to go see some awesome attractions at my favorite area within the Second Ring Road, Houhai. Armed with my camera, a tripod, and a few planned stops, we discovered some of the best areas around Houhai!
