To be honest, China is not really on my radar when it comes to the list of places I'd like to visit. However, I had the pleasure to shoot a marketing campaign with Jetstar Asia, to promote Wuxi, China as an up and coming destination. This is sort of a behind-the-scenes and my personal experience through this relatively unheard city in China.

This is my personal experience through this relatively unheard city in China.
