Best travel #hashtags that every traveller should use and follow on Instagram

Instagram is one of the best social media platform for sharing photos while traveling. Hashtags helps  each of your photo to be seen. I am not an Instagram expert by any means, but I am trying to use it more effectively while uploading my travel pics on Instagram. Based on my research, here are the best travel hashtags for Instagram along with how and when to use them.

Hashtag Your Destination

First and foremost, your followers definitely want to know where you are! I used #Delhi during my  weekend trip and found that I received likes from the people that lived or want to travel Delhi. Other examples include:
You get the picture. Or, break it down by region. If you happen to be in Hong Kong, you could use #asia #china #hong kong, for example.
Go to the Instagram search box and type in the city you are visiting. Popular hashtags other people in the city are using will show for your reference.
