Additionally, Q&A sessions and discussions about the museums and their exhibits frequently occur with his Sina Weibo posts and their follow-ups.
Huang says he has witnessed a recent boom in museum attendance in China-not only at big, popular museums but all kinds of museums-especially since 2017 after such cultural variety shows like The Nation's Greatest Treasures and Every Treasure Tells a Story became a hit with viewers.
This is quite bittersweet for someone like him who now has to wait more to grab an opportunity to take a photograph in the crowd.
"However, some followers told me that they were inspired by my work and started photographing museums and the exhibits themselves. I'm glad about that," says Huang.
