Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to visual storytelling and want to see a place through an insider's eyes rather than a tourist's camera.
You follow artists' processes and love seeing sketchbooks, journals, and raw creative output.
You're curious about everyday life in rural China, not the gleaming skylines everyone else shows you.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a comprehensive travel guide or practical information about visiting Yunnan.
You prefer polished, finished artwork over sketches and journal entries.
You're looking for a narrative-driven memoir with a strong plot arc.

About this book

Henrik Drescher settled in Yunnan, a remote province in western China, over a decade ago. During his time there, he documented his experiences and observations in illustrated notebooks, recording everyday life across diverse settings including street markets and mountainscapes. This collection brings together Drescher's illustrated journal pages for the first time, offering a view of life in China's interior regions far from major urban centers like Beijing and Shanghai. The work provides insight into both the artist's practice and aspects of Chinese culture that remain less commonly seen.
