Panoramic view of rice paddy with limestone peaks in backgroundDucks in the rain searching for food in a large puddle in front of a traditional Chinese building and an even more striking
landscapeView from the top of Moon Hill showing the river meandering through the endless peaks that fade into the distance

Village set in amongst the peaks with water in the foreground reflecting striking Chinese symbols Moon Hill (very close). The half moon providing a striking frame for the surrounding area seen through the hole Moon Hill (view from the road) - as a cloud floats past it looks almost mystical

River winds through very flat land contrasting with peaks that rocket straight up from the nearby groundPeaks taken across the river from the pier in Yangshuo

Artistic take on the spectacular scenery of the Yangshuo area - shame I had the date mode switched on (never mind) Moon Hill taken on the walk up to it showing the dense foliage in the foreground Portrait of a peasant woman with a pasrasol over her shoulder, 
grazing a buffalo on patch of grass between rice paddy before the limestone peaks take over the land
