A photograph should tell a story, but sometimes it’s hard to fit the whole tale into a single frame. I’m sure you have plenty of stories to share, and I’d love to see and hear them! If you like, starting today, you can send me a series of 3-10 photos, each with a caption, and a short story that ties them together. I’ll select three submissions to publish. Who knows, this might be laying the foundation for a new series that will inspire you to pick up your camera more often.

Emirates has officially launched its new daily service to Hangzhou, marking its fifth gateway in the Chinese mainland and the second new destination added in under a month, following Shenzhen.

Flight EK310 landed at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport on 30 July to a warm welcome from local dignitaries, airport officials, and a ceremonial water cannon salute. Passengers on the inaugural flight from Dubai were treated to commemorative keepsakes including keychains, certificates, and Chinese tea tasting sets to mark the occasion.

The inaugural flight carried passengers from across Emirates’ global network, including key markets like the UAE, Nigeria, Italy, Spain, Saudi Arabia and Brazil, as well as a VIP delegation led by Emirates’ senior management, and members of the international media.
