01 / A new perspective

There’s more to China than the familiar headlines.

Big cities, technology and manufacturing are only part of China’s story. In Yunnan, discover dramatic mountains, remarkable plants and wildlife, and prized wild mushrooms. Jolin grew up there and will share this side through photos, stories and simple Chinese words to try together.
