About Two other features of the landscape immediately attract the visitor?s attention: the paddy-fields tumbling down the slopes in vertiginous staircases and the innumerable limestone peaks and crests emerging from the clouds in the morning, a sort of Halong Bay transferred to the mountains.

The terraced paddy-fields are built by the Hmong and Dao on the slopes where the water supply is sufficient to provide irrigation throughout the growing season. It takes a tremendous amount of work to create and maintain the paddy-fields and, in the absence of all instruments, it requires an elaborate ancestral technique, already used by the Chinese peasants before they emigrated during the second half of the 19th century. The surface area of the projected terraces is calculated according to the available water-flow. All the terraces must be perfectly horizontal, so as to maintain a constant water level before they pour into the terrace immediately below.

Thanks for all comments!

An outstanding image taken from a dynamic angle. Wonderful colours and great lines in this composition, complemented by sharp details(great lense by the way). This goes to my favourites. Great info Te Luan - I did a bit of research lately for a project on rice paddys in Madagascar. The systems are a bit different though. Thanks for sharing.
