The Indochina Peninsula is located in the southeastern part of Asia. Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia - a favorite place of tourists. Here you can enjoy exotic fruits, artsy species, an unusual population.

But, if you want to know the real Indochina, then you should go outside the hotel. Best to the most distant villages in the province. Shoot everything you see. And then compare your photos with photos that were taken 100 years ago. Hardly you will find differences. Also, women rinse underwear in Halong Bay (Vietnam), while men work on tea plantations. Even the village market here has not changed the last 100 years.

All this and not only can be seen in the photographs of 1914-1916. They became available thanks to unknown travelers who photographed what they saw on the peninsula more than 100 years ago. It captures not only the life of ordinary village people and their life, but even the family of the head of the province of Ha (Vietnam), as well as important local bosses and the military.
