Longji Rice Terraces, Guangxi
The terraces here were first cultivated by the losing tribes who lost their battles in the fight for the fertile plains-- somewhat like the Red Indians in America. They were ethnically minority groups. Things are different now partly because of widespread intermarriages. And then there was a time when the younger generation flocked to large town along the eastern coast hunting for job. The local government in recent years subsidy residents to come back rebuilding the terraces making them into a tourist attraction.
