Trip to the Rice Terraces

On our second day in Yuanyang, we had actually planned to see the sun rise. Well, we were greeted by rain, clouds and lots and lots of fog. So, we tried to wait out the rain by driving to most distanced point of interest of our trip, another Chinese village.

Following this very quiet yet inspiring experience, we went to the viewpoint from which you can see the Daba rice terraces. Did we mention that we weren’t very successful in escaping the fog? The picture speaks for itself, doesn’t it?

Although, we couldn’t see the terraces again there, it was still beautiful to see the lush green foliage and to hear a waterfall among all this fog.

After lunch, we finally made our way back to Mengzi. Approaching the city, you can almost imagine seeing the Scottish highlands, but they are without sheep here.
