Shangyun

Shangyun is a small charmless village about 50 miles North of Lancang. It was here where I met up with my friend Greg. Greg was taking the back roads from Western Yunnan while researching places to see for his new tour guide job. We spent a couple days here hiking around in the mountains behind town. This was truly off the beaten path for travelers, where we were probably the only foreigners within a 50 mile radius.

Minibus taking a water break on the way to Shangyun	The charm less town of Shangyun, where I met up with my friend Greg	Myself in front of the noodle stand after having a great meal
Greg happily walking through a rice paddy	Dragonflies hovering in the evening sky	Hilly mountainous view
Planting rice on the hillside	Plowing the fields with the help of water buffalos	Harvesting the starter rice plants (to be later planted in the rice patties)
Myself and Greg	Very gracious villagers after inviting us in for dinner	Playing pool while Greg asks for directions
