The 'Giant of Yunnan' was an unusually tall and large man from Yunnan in southwest China who featured in several contemporaneous photographs by European travellers. The figure by his side is a Yunnanese dwarf or midget. The 'giant' appears to be wearing official yamen uniform and probably worked as a guard or bodyguard for a local official.
