The Rice Terraces of Yuanyang

An afternoon hiking through the rice terraces of Yuanyang.  I'll let the pictures do the talking!










Everyone in the area knows which terraces belong to which family. However, in this modern day, the government is surveying the land and getting it the information recorded.

The fields are kept flooded in the winter mostly for us tourists.  Planting happens in the early spring and harvest in the fall.



After our hike we drove to the famed Laohuzui lookout.  People, with their major camera gear appeared to have been camped out for hours along the railing to claim their spot.  Why?
