This image was taken in the Daliang Mountains, in the south of China’s Sichuan province. Rising above the left bank of the Jinsha (Upper Yangtze) River, the range’s name means ‘Great Cool Mountains’. The surrounding region is famed for its visually stunning lakes and mountains. It’s also home to the largest population of the Austroasiatic Yi or Nuosuo people, the seventh largest of the 55 ethnic minority groups officially recognised by the People’s Republic of China. Close to nine million Yi are found across China, Vietnam and Thailand, often in mountainous regions.
