12th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
A chinese child enjoying the day in Hangzhou, China.

I was traveling through China and fell in love with the city of Hangzhou, with its beautiful landscape and Buddhist temples up in the mountains. I was sitting by the lake enjoying the day and taking in everything around me. While I was sitting there I saw a child starring at me and I could tell she was captivated by my blonde hair and blue eyes because it was something she had never seen before. I snapped a picture of her because her innocence and curiousness was inspiring to me.
