Rice Terraces in the Mist


Lounging around the hotel lobby, waiting to leave for the minority villages and rice terraces

The road to Longji




Longji:

Stalls - they all sold pretty much the same stuff of silver jewelry and handwoven goods; this old lady was of the Yao minority - she had her hair all tied up in a bun around her head.



Bamboo! Chicken!


When we first arrived early in the morning, this was the view we could only see. Guess what's behind the fog!


Village woman carrying a basket on her back; two men "fishing" with a pole in the fog...

RABIES! All dogs have rabies - and if we touch them we DIE.

=D




This was a small cafe at the peak of the hill we were climbing.



Leaping from one terrace level to the next...

Tiffany fell as she made her way down the muddy path alongside the terraces, and so Justin is wiping her pants down...



There's not much else I can say about the rice terraces. The fog did eventually clear up after lunch. I'm sure it was quite a beautiful sight if it was clearer weather.

The next post will show what's behind the fog in one of those pictures! =D
