At a small village on the way to Long Sheng where we stopped to snap a few shots.
Nice village houses belonging to minority people.
The bridge linking San Jiang to the national highway lit at night. We stopped here for dinner and spent a few hours in a foot-massage joint before resuming our journey at 0400 hrs.
Village houses which attracted our attention as we made our way down from Lei Shan.
Planting paddies is a back-breaking task.

Houses belonging to minority tribes.

A village, one of many we passed through at slow speeds.
