Rice terrace tour. - What a fantastic trip! I booked the early trip and I'm very glad I did because it got very hot in the middle of the day and very busy! Andy is very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the rice fields and helped me take some great pictures! After the rice fields, we went to the village and I got to see the long hair show and it was amazing to watch the ladies perform! There were great photo opportunities as well at the bridge and Andy had a lot of information to share about the Drum Towers!
