Not bad for a day of unwinding !!
This morning we were driven to the rice terraces at Longsheng. We really didn't know what we were getting into, but by the end it the day we were experts in all things Longji.
We were so high up that pine trees were everywhere and yet this place is so tropical the bamboo trees were growing beside the pines.
It's too bad we had to drive on more hairpin and switchbacks, but again I was successful in hiding my terror.....I'm not so sure about Alice. She had this terrible tick in her right foot - much like she was stepping on the brakes!
We had to walk the last kilometre to a village built into the side of a mountain. Absolutely beautiful.
We climbed too many steps to count, wanting to see every part of this fascinating village. There were very few tourists in the village so we had the place to ourselves.
The rice terraces are so different from Vietnam. These are narrow and split into smaller plots. Other than that, the people working the fields were doing the same hard work to support themselves and their
families, even the young children.
