During my first trip to China, I made my way straight to the depths of Yunnan to explore the rice terraces of Yuanyang for a week. Here are some of my favorite shots from the trip.
When visiting Yunnan, try to base yourself in Duoyishu. It's within easy access to most of the main viewpoints and has great hotels and restaurants. Duoyishu also has morning views such as this, one just a few steps from the center of the village.
