Kigwema village

Blog entries, Locations
Just because it is such a wonderful place, I have added a few more photo’s of Kigwema village, one of the Angami tribe villages surrounding Kohima. What is so special here, in addition to the many wonderful people who happily go about their business of gathering wood, is the collection of traditional houses. There are [...]

49. around Kohima

Blog entries
Kohima is located on a couple of hillsides. As soon as you leave the city, you are confronted with the rice paddies and vegetable terraces that surround the town, a fabulous sight. Every river valley is built up from below, up the slope, with terrace after terrace, interspersed with little huts for shelter, or for [...]

Blog entries, Locations

Longsheng

Articles
A rather Spartan hotel, wooden minority villages and spectacular rice terraces in the area around Longsheng. After our last comfortable night in Guilin, and a decent meal in the local top restaurant, we were ready for the rest of our trip, no doubt a lot rougher, through the remote territory to Guiyang. Next day we [...]

15. Jianshui

Blog entries
The old town of Jianshui is a wonderful labyrinth of cobbled streets, lined with old wooden houses (finally!) and with several touristic attactions.
