Jiu Jiang, a 57-year-old villager in Linsu village, Bailang township, in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, drives a horse carriage, on July 17, 2020. Once a lumberman himself, Jiu is now a tour guide, as the region's tourism industry has flourished in recent years. Many local houses in the village have been transformed into homestay guesthouses, featuring vintage household items and facilities from the 1950s and offering tourists an all-round experience of a lumberman's life back in the day.
