Yao Bentang, chief of a mule train, eats together with other villagers on Yunwu Mountain in Shiquan County, Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, April 20, 2017. Yao, 56, leads four other villagers in using 10 mules to transport construction materials for building a mountain walkway. Working from 7 am to 6 pm, one mule can bring in a daily income of 300 yuan ($72) at most. Yao said they can eat simple food at a cost of 10 yuan a day, mostly noodles, but he usually spends 20 yuan for a mule’s food. (Photo/VCG)
