Set in a scenic valley among cobblestone streets and ancient houses, the rustic village of Heshun, China, feels like it's escaped tourism and time. Left, a herder leads his cows through quiet alleyways, some 600 years old, at dusk.
The entrance gate into Heshun. The rural setting, mild weather and well-preserved architecture have made this village in Yunnan Province, located in southwest China, a site for movie shoots.
Farmers harvest rapeseed by beating dried stalks.
Intricately carved latticed windows in the courtyard of a Heshun family home.
Li Kebei in her 160-year-old ancestral home that now doubles as a museum. The Li family once traded jade into China from nearby Myanmar.
A traditional breakfast dish of porridge, drizzled with sesame oil and soy sauce, on a toasted rice pancake.
Waiting out the rain in a dry goods shop in the center of Heshun's old town. The village used to be a stop for old tea caravans traveling to India. The village was famous for merchants who made their fortunes trading goods between China, Myanmar and India.
Lights shine over rice paddies from Heshun Renjia, one of the few restaurants in town.
Walking by fields of canola, a farmer makes his way home.
