My name is Loan

During my last trip to Sapa, Vietnam, I took a short 3 day trip to China to see Yuanyang in Yunnan province. This portrait of Loan, my trip organizer, was taken very early one morning as we were waiting for the sun to rise over the wonderful, and very famouse, rice paddies of Yuanyang. Will have to come back here, as the rice paddies were not flooded at this time.

 

Loan in Vietnamese is a female phoenix.
