Day 10 - 21 Apr, Tuesday: 资源>龙胜>大寨

. Wednesday, April 29, 2009

I woke up rather early that morning so that i can catch the 8.40 bus from 资源 to 龙胜 and from there i took another bus to 大寨瑶族梯田, terrace farming areas belonging to the Yao minority people. The farming area over there, together with the neighbouring area belonging to the Zhuang minority people has been turned into a tourist attraction.
This was taken on the ascent up to the top of the hills, where i'll be staying.
When i alighted from the bus at the foot of the hills, there were Yao minority women offering to carry our luggage up the hills for a fee. I didn't want their service initially but upon their earnest persuasion, i gave in and gave them my big backpack. But that was a regretful decision cause it was heavy, i should have given them the smaller backpack that i was also carrying. The bag was heavy enough for the Yao woman carrying it to request for the help of her husband. I did ask them about changing backpacks but they insisted on carrying the big backpack, saying “不可以让我亏”. So the only thing i could do was to give them slightly more of the appointed sum for their service.
Finally at the top.
The spectacular view from my window. The place where i stayed is called 全景楼 or Panorama Hotel cause this was the highest point of the area and is also one of the 3 viewing spots in the area.
Poser.
Plants that reminded me of microphones.
