Arriving at the beautiful main gate to the village
Walking through the clouds
Breathtaking view of alpine forests
Fascinating alpine vegetation
Unusual wild mushrooms
Wild mushrooms in all shapes and colours
Wild mushrooms in all shapes and colours
Wild mushrooms in all shapes and colours
All geared up for a great walk
A meadow juxtaposed alongside a stunning cliff face
Alpine forests where horses and yak roam
Wild mushrooms in all shapes and colours
Wild mushrooms in all shapes and colours
Alpine meadow at 3300metres
Abundant forest life
Just enjoying the sounds of the birds
Locals call this the Roman amphitheatre
The Roman amphitheatre
Tranquility broken only by the sound of birds
And then the clouds started rolling in
Verdant meadow scene with rocks strewn around
Beautiful light filtering through the forest
Cute mushrooms
They re-inflate when you press them!
Sheer cliff faces surround the meadow
Where you can sit for hours just meditating to the sound of birds
These almost glow amidst the forest's other vegetation
Mushrooms cling onto trees
Walking through the alpine forest
Descending to the village
The village farms
Canola fields
Blue skies, fluffy white clouds, great scenery
A fabulous sight
Canola fields
A picture every way you turn
Canola fields
Peppercorns drying in the sun
Traditional Yi houses
Village track
A village nestled in the valley
A sweet mountain village
Lunch with the team from Oxfam
Alpine farm animals
That's where we're walking to later
The way to Yangtze through the village
The scene below
Butterflies mating
Alpine flowers
Ancient walnut trees
The driver awaits us at the end
A Naxi village near to the Yangtze
Tobacco fields
