HIking the Rice Terraces of Guizhou: Tong’an, China - A Photo Story

Useful Tip:  It’s so much easier to take a local bus to Tong’An and to walk back DOWNHILL to Zhaoxing!  If only we had known, instead we trekked for hours uphill.  It truly was stunning and it made us appreciate the natural beauty even more but boy were we tired when we finally reached Tong’An.  Here are some of the things we saw on our hike!

Exhausted after our unexpected hike we started the walk downhill, via the road this time.  We flagged down a bus and headed back to Zhaoxing!  Next stop, Kaili, the capital of Guizhou province!
