People of northern and southern China: Shanxi, Guangxi, Yunnan. Locals & tourists

China has undergone in the past 15 years a "never seen before" transformation, an economic revolution 60years after Mao’s cultural revolution. The pace is not slowing down.

The new economic generation is also a new tourist generation. They travel, all over the world, and all over China. That’s when the gap closes, for a moment. The new generation travels eagerly to discover the beautiful and enigmatic provinces of inner China, and ends up at the same place as the left over. Suddently, the 2 world rejoins...
