Nestled in the lush landscapes of the Chinese mainland’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Yangshuo has long been a magnet for globetrotters. 🚴♂️ In 1994, British photographer Peter Crosby stumbled upon Lisa’s Café during a cycling adventure. The café’s owner, Li Sha, welcomed him with steaming tea and stories of her hometown—a moment Crosby never forgot.
Fast-forward 27 years: Crosby returned to Yangshuo, determined to reconnect with Li and relive the warmth of that serendipitous encounter. Their reunion, blending nostalgia and cross-cultural friendship, mirrors Yangshuo’s evolution from a backpacker hideout to a symbol of enduring human connections. 📸✨
