In 2019, Liao Wenhui, a Miao ethnic minority man who was studying in Moscow, got acquainted with Rudym Tatiana, a photography who graduate from Murmansk. The two shared the passion for traveling, fell in love and got married.

The couple decided to go back to the Phoenix (Fenghuang) ancient city, central China's Hunan Province, where Liao lived and grew up since his childhood.  

After coming to the Phoenix ancient city, Tatiana "fall in love at first sight" of the place. 

As photo-shooting tours gain popularity in China, the couple later became professional photographers, with Liao focusing on shooting photos and Tatiana adjusting lighting and introducing posing tips. "I love traveling around China. 

It's something I will never stop doing in my life," Tatiana said. With a passion for Chinese culture, Tatiana began to post videos of her wearing traditional Chinese costumes on social media, attracting a large number of viewers.
