Day 53 Yuangyang

After a big day viewing mostly from afar or above the rice fields yesterday, we got amongst them today.
Ming had warned us that it was very easy to get lost because there are no paths so we were careful to seek landmarks of the odd tree on our way.
From a visual perspective they are certainly not as impressive from within, on an engineering note the place is massive and amazing but it's easy to spot which terrace isn't perfection with slightly more or less water flow shown by the colour of the water in each. 
The water which feeds all the terraces comes from a natural spring at the top of the mountain(pretty handy!).
It's an adventure wonderland for the ducks, we watched plenty of ducks having a great time on the terraces see pic I caught of a duck splashing in, it took him 10minutes to get the courage up to make that jump! before retiring to the hotel for Vietnam research and another dinner containing interesting boney pork in one dish, another was snails, a bits of chicken dish and on the good side a nice beef & veg dish.
