39 stunning photos of Bristol

Sichan He, also known as Jessie, is a postgraduate student from China who is studying at the University of Bristol and loves photographing his adopted city.

“One year of studying and living here has been truly amazing,” Jessie says.

“I enjoy walking around and capturing the beautiful moments in the city. It has amazing architecture with incredible subtle patterns, cafes with old style wooden windows and a cosy ambience, and delicious food at the Sunday markets. I love this poetic, active and friendly city, every bit of it.

“It is one of the most happening and energetic cities in the world. I enjoy every day here.”

Here are some of Jessie’s best photographs from his Instagram account, @sichan.he.
