Rice Terraces of Da Zhai [North Guilin Province]

The bus to the cloud-level village is an adventure - it winds up a steep mountain road and one sees all kinds of interesting cargo on board.

The black-and-fuschia garb is traditional wear for the long-haired Yao women of the village. Most Yao women are excellent at weaving/embroidery and hand-make most of their costume.

The locals use large baskets with straps for rucksacks to haul firewood and souveniers for sale to the few tourists that come to the village.
