Yuanyang

Yuanyang is a small mountainous town engulfed in thick fog, it has baptised itself "Mountain City in the Clouds". According to World Vision, impoverished Yuanyang county is 88% non-Han, predominantly Hani and Yi. Recently, improved roads have made the region more accesible and tourism is increasing quickly due to the magnificent rice terraces in the region. The county now struggles to balance tradition and modernisation.
