A small terraced village 一座梯田式的小村庄

Filed under: travel

This was taken on my way via Yuanjiang two months ago. I redicovered it when sorting out a large pile of photos. Forgot the name but I know the picture just doen’t do justise to this cute village.

All the houses are built with the charecteristic red soil, firm and beautiful.  Nearly a hundred years’ weathering has changed the original red to what you see now the light yellow. The most amazing part is that every small household can be connected to each other through the roof. The roof serves as a dring yard and a road leading everywhere, where you can even take a non-stop bike ride around the whole village. Take the gental slopes if you wanna go up and down.

Pillowed on a hill, this waterside village in itself is a large household.These industrious and ingenious villagers treat each other just like siblings. They, having shared the woes and joys from generation to generation, live an enviablly harmonious life.

Just look at it, isn’t it amazing?
