Photos from Guangxi and Guizhou provinces

I had to include this... Outdoor karaoke, all taken deadly seriously, by the river in Guilin


Mist, terraced hills and a village made of wood. What more could a traveller ask for?


Faye being dressed as a Yao woman for a photo. This photo, or "PHUTU! PHUTU!" as it is apparently known locally, did not come for free.


Faye is second from the left


More terraces near Ping An


Wind and rain bridge in Chengyang village, dating from 1916 (so the same age as my Nana!)


Dong men playing cards in the central square in Chengyang


A Miao woman and little bairn (kitten?). What I particularly like about this picture is that she didn't expect any kind of payment for it.


Miao women grinding some sort of cereal crop

Blimey Pete, what an experience. I've never heard of most of the places you've mentioned, so it's difficult to imagine where you are, and distances etc. You will be so pleased you've written all this when you get back.
