This is the second book to be published under the Mekong media fellowship programme 'Our Mekong: A Vision amid Globalisation

The rough-and-tumble feel of bustling border towns. Increasing trade between countries that used to be at war with each other. Differences that divide and similarities that bind people. Legends they share. These are just some of the images found in this book, a collection of in-depth features and photo essays done by 17 journalists from the six countries of the Mekong region.

This is a look at the fast-changing region through the eyes of local journalists, who spent weeks and months exploring cross-border issues and then crafted features around them.

From China, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, these journalists make up the second batch of fellows who have completed the media fellowship programme 'Our Mekong: A Vision amid Globalisation', undertaken by Inter Press Service Asia-Pacific with the financial support of the Rockefeller Foundation, South-east Asia.
