Hello, top photos of the rice terraces! I also visited Yunnan a few months ago, it was interesting to read about that fascinating province from someone else's point of view. Sunrise at Duoshiu (or however you spell it!) must be in the top 5 memorable things i did during 7 weeks in western China. Awesome province, hey! :)
