They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries.

From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a mountain in Qingdao Province. Sometimes the river is small and the wa

Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves
