These men were riding on the back of a logging truck heading south to Bowa from Muli when I hitched a lift myself. It didn't last long. The axle snapped after about half an hour on the rough road and we had to hitch on another truck. On which I got robbed - but that's another story [without any photos, surprisingly!] These Han Sichuanese were typical of the recent Chinese migrants into the Muli area, attracted to work in the gold mining and logging industries.
Here's me riding on the same truck. Shortly after this picture was taken I was robbed by some Tibetans with knives who hitched a lift on the same truck.
