Xiahe is one of the places I most regret not making it to during my travels in 1992. I had intended to go but circumstances made me change my plans. Thank you for sharing these photographs of what I missed!

It's my pleasure! Are all of your journeys in China were concentrated in southern China?

Yes, just the four south-west provinces mainly. I did venture as far north as Xi'an and Beijing on my first visit in '89, but that was as part of a three-week package tour and not making my own way round.

In March 1989? You're kinda lucky, the student protests began just a month later. Ignoring the the underdeveloped economies of the time, the 1980s were probably the most inclusive and open period of PRC.
