Lahuzui (Tiger Mouth) Rice Terrace of Yuanyang

Many photos had been published on this famous Rice Terrace and all the local guide books had recommend that sunset is the best time to take a wide angle photo.

This is one of the most magnificent and unique rice terraces lying flat in the valley of Yuanyang.

During winter to early spring, the empty rice is filed with spring water from the forest above to rejuvenate and prepared the terrace for the next season. The Hani people have repeated this for more than a thousand years



This photo was taken in the late afternon with not much contrast.

Look carefully, you might be able to see the head of a tiger at the left bottom corner.

Can you see a profile of the King of Jungle?

I had isolated a landmark part of this magnificent rice terrace in the workshop just before sunset. Please feel free to have a look






Why not a Lion head?

Well, there is no lion in Asia
