Most interesting thing done as a Local Guide - posting pictures

Most of my contributions to Google Maps come from uploaded images. A picture is worth a thousand words. For most Google Maps users, if you want to find a restaurant quickly, there are two most intuitive ways. One is the star rating, and the other is the picture. When I eat, I always take photos of food and post them on social platforms, now, that already becomes my habit. The first photo I took was from a Korean restaurant, Jejudo. I elaborately placed the food in the right place, carefully found the angle of the shot, and clicked the shutter. Now, this photo has been viewed over 14,000 times, which gave me great motivation to upload more pictures.

Fortunately, many people like my photos. Although only about 100 have been uploaded, they have already been viewed 200,000 times.

Occasionally my friends saw the photos I posted on Google Maps and they asked me if I was me and I said yes. Then they said, “We will only go to the places you recommend!” Now I gradually have a group of fans. Although the number is small, I am trying my best to help them. I will continue to do this, hoping that I can help more people with my little interest.
