The atlas of renowned geographer Chang Ch'i-yun piqued Bill Porter's interest in Yun-nan, a southwestern province of China known as "South of the Clouds." This region, the last to be integrated into modern China, has a rich history as a trade hub, originally conquered by the Mongols. Yun-nan's unique position as a crossroads between East and West highlights its vibrant cultural and economic significance throughout history.
