Right before my eyes were miles and miles of colourful rice terraces. It was truly a sight to behold.

I was in Yuan Yang, a town in Yunnan, China with my husband in late October. From our third floor hotel window, in the wee hours of the morning I saw the sun peeping out from the mountains and lighting up the Duo-yishu Rice Terraces. The colours slowly changed from white to different hues: yellow, blue, grey and gold. I was awestruck by the magical moment.
