Something Interesting

I really enjoy traveling and taking photos. I created an interactive travel map to showcase some of my favorite travel memories. You can also view the map and photos on a separate page here.
Hover a pin to preview a photo.
I compiled a list of HUST restaurants, you can get it here (PDF, Chinese). Enjoy your meals!
I also created a few useful tools for RoboMaster series competitions, check them out here.
