Yangshuo

A few weeks ago we went to Yongshuo, the site of the all famous Dr. Seuss Mountains and the rice terraces. It was so beautiful and breathtaking, the pictures really don't do it justice.






We found a local tour guide who helped us get up-close and personal with the mountains, we were weaving in and out all through them.


Oh, and I rode one of these


Yup, drink it in people, drink. it. in.
this really happened.


After the tour we climbed to the top of moon hill


Right here to the very tippy top


It was really sketchy too. We found this pathway that said No Entry and of course that means 'come on in and make yourself at home'


It was a very hard steep path to the top but the view was breathtaking.




On a different day of vacation we went to the rice terraces, but on the way we stopped at the long haired village. These women grow their hair out till they are 18 then they cut it and grow it out again, they combine all their hair now and the hair they cut and put it on top of their head.
These women down there are not wearing hats... that's their hair.


this women has had children because she has a nice little bun on her forehead.


The rice terraces were beautiful... all i'm gonna say.
