The images transport viewers to quintessential Yunnan scenes: cycling along the shores of Erhai Lake as mist rises from the hills in the early morning; reading at a cozy cafe in Lijiang's old town; foraging for wild mushrooms with locals; admiring the Hani Rice Terraces; and celebrating ethnic festivals like the Water-Splashing and Torch Festivals. The snapshots also pay tribute to those who have worked and continue to work hard to make this lifestyle possible: road and railway builders, delivery workers, flower market vendors, and inheritors of little-known handicrafts.
