New road construction
Man with mule walking along the old Tea-Horse route now being turned into a highway leading to the new bridge across the Mekong, near Fengqing, southern Yunnan.
A lone mule and owner take the new high road, still under construction, along the Mekong gorge in Fengqing County. One of China's many hydro-electric schemes will raise the water level by almost 200 metres by 2012, and in preparation, a new highway will replace the flooded old stone road.
