The Longqing Gorge Scenic Area is located 90km northwest of Beijing. Within the gorge is the largest dam in northern China, more than 70m high. It created a lake behind it that provides a man-made waterfall during summer. From the entrance, one takes the world's longest elevator ride (258m in 8 sections) to the top of the dam. The elevator is enclosed in a giant dragon design and was built in 1996, also named the 'Soaring Dragon Elevator'.

Hi, how are you?

Nice meeting you here! As you probably noticed, I love taking pictures. Photography, to me, is about the intellectual joy and excitement to "hunt" for a good photograph, be it in travels or in capturing a particular moment in life or in expressing a specific perception. A little bit of my background, I graduated in MBA from Santa Clara University and got my Computer Science degree from University of Wisconsin, Madison. This website and the photos are all made by me unless otherwise stated, I invite you to check out my favorite photos below and explore the rest of my website. Feel free to send me an email if you have any comments: prestonlau@gmail.com. Check out some of my best photos below:
