     My room has an unobstructed vista of the terraces cascading down the valley like a muddy waterfall. The night is serenaded by a frog chorus and at dawn I’m up with the rooster crow, ready to test my walking boots.
     Tourism in Yuanyang county has been designed for the tour-bus class, who follow a loop road around the valley, stopping off at various platforms to photograph the rice terraces but missing the points of interest in between.
