Hipster Tour South America
South America is a place that host Christy Liang Zhipei has always wanted to go. With limited time, she finally selected three countries for this trip, namely Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. Zhipei and her photographer husband were invited to attend the Rio Carnival in Brazil, where they could participate in the float parade up close, so they naturally had to have fun! Bolivia has the world's largest salt pan, a mirror of the sky, so of course they had to visit it; they would also go to many romantic scenic spots to show off their love. Machu Picchu, one of the seven wonders in Peru, is so spectacular! Zhipei will also challenge her limits and climb Rainbow Mountain; she even climbed the mountain in the dark and stayed in a cliff hotel for a night, which was exciting enough!
