sanba village



In a walnut field, I really tried to help this nice ladies with the wood. They just laugh. I don´t know if they understand my non-verbal Chinese language. But I´m sure we had a nice talk.

CHINA - Yunnan - Baishuitai (白水台)










Southeast Zhongdian there´s a nice village named Baishutai, with it´s nice limestone deposit plateau. The terraces are resplendent in sunlight. Limpid water, like a mirror reflects the clouds of the sky. Formed over thousands of years through progressive depositing of calcium bicarbonate from local spring water, the site is one of the world's largest tuff spring terraces and is sacred to Naxi people. When we get to the top, by horse or by foot, it´s possible to see the beautiful village in the valley, surrounded by great mountains.
