Life down in Yuanyang, rice terrace heaven

Ten hours by bus south of central Yunnan province is this amazing rice terrace heaven, Yuanyang. Too bad we went when the rice crops were starting to grow again, and not getting the full effect of water filled terraces. A local photographer said the best time for pictures is the winter. I highly recommend google searching yuanyang rice terraces!
Either way, it was such a beautiful place, filled with everyone BUT tourists. It was a perfect place to experience the culture of the Yunnan people.
