I went to China about 3 years ago on an overseas community project to build toilets for some villagers up on the mountain, and to educate the children on good toilet habits. I haven't shown anybody these photos (other than my family members) yet, so I thought I'll just post them here.

Transportation:
This is how we travel from mountain to mountain. On a very old pick-up! There were 16 of us standing behind, holding on to the metal bars. It was really scary. The road was only wide enough for 1 vehicle, there were no road barriers, and the metal bars were shaky! A teammate fell off before. Thankfully, he was alright.
