This is the village of Yuhu, a remote and seemingly untouched place outside of Lijiang in Yunnan Province. I get that we were not the first tourists to arrive here and that we were not that special, but it did seem like a privilege nonetheless to see such place. China, 2008.
These are the market of the Lijiang old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Another hive of activity, also seemingly untouched by western influence, but yet thriving with economic activity. Yunnan, China, 2008.
Sitting in the shadow of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, this is the village of Yuhu, a remote village still very much looking like you'd imagine it did so many decades ago. Yunnan Province, China, 2008.
