Morning traffic in Sichuan

Michael Yamashita

People commute to work in the morning on an avenue shrouded by green trees in Ya’an, Sichuan Province. The city is well known as the birthplace of artificial tea planting. In addition, the first giant panda was found in the city’s Baoxing County.

Michael Yamashita is an award-winning photographer who has been shooting for National Geographic magazine for more than 30 years. He specialized in Asia after spending seven years in the region following his graduation from Wesleyan University.
