Wong How Man, the Hong Kong-born explorer with credentials spanning 30 years, is currently working on a project to find out the story behind ancient hanging coffins in Sichuan Province.
The 55-year-old explorer says he began to develop his fascination with the hanging coffins on the limestone cliffs some two decades ago after he heard about them from US scientists and then saw a picture of the coffins shot in the 1930s. However, he only started seriously working on the project from 1996.
Wong How Man is the author and photographer of many works, including
Exploring the Yangtze: China's Longest River
