Yuanyang rice terraces bits and clips

Yuanyang is the most beautiful place on earth. Sadly we came at the wrong time, in the summer, which is very foggy and chances are the rice terraces are full, and not water filled. When they are empty, it looks like endless glittering pockets of silver throughout the deep valleys.
It's incredible.
The owner of our hostel, called the photographers hostel, recommended to return in the winter.
I hope to do so one day!

Due to so much song copyright issues, here are some plain clips from Yuanyang

Hostel family dinner

At certain hostels, you can sign up for the family style dinner if you don't feel like searching for a cheap eat. This particular experience was at the Panba hostel in Lijiang and cost 18 Yuan, which is around 3-4$. The food was fantastic, with many vegetables I had never tried before. 

It is a great way to meet other travellers, as well as the staff!

Chinese Tourists

After going through all my footage from China, I caught myself several times making comments about the insane amount of Chinese tourists. I finally understand what it means to be overpopulated!

This is just a few clips to give you a taste of it.
