China 2013
Entrance to the Yao
village of Dazhai in Guangxi province
Our hotel in Dazhai. We
were the only guests there
Yao women are famous for
long hair and we asked the owner to show us
She was happy to show us
her super-long hair
But the main attraction of
the region are not long hair, but amazing rice terraces
Ploughing his rice field
In spring most terraces
are full of water, but soon they will turn green
It took many generations
to build these terraces
We went by bus to another
village called Ping'an and came back on foot
Some people can not walk
and pay to be carried. Or perhaps they do it for fun, it's hard to tell
Rice terraces
Yao women are famous for
having the longest hair in the world
Girls posing for photos.
All you have to do is pay 10 yuan
Seven Stars with Moon near
Ping'an
This is my favorite
viewpoint and a must-see if you are in the area
In our opinion, terraces
around Ping'an are more beautiful than Dazhai
Terraced rice paddy fields
have created an intricate pattern on the hillsides
Ping'an from one of the
viewpoints
I took millions of photos
and choosing the best ones was really hard. Every viewpoint is so
beautiful
On the way from Ping'an to
Dazhai, we passed Zhongliu village
It's hard to find the way
and we had to ask many times for directions
Back from work in the
fields
If you've ever tried
working in the field, you know how hard this job is
Spring is the time when
rice is planted. It will be green in summer, yellow in autumn and white
in winter
