Pleasing Things:

Sixties Shaw starlets feasting on sticky rice dumplings. That’s Fang Ying 方盈 standing. I’m not sure about who she’s handing the glass of tea. The one with downcast face is Li Ting 李婷, who ended up killing herself not long after this picture was taken. And last but not least is the incomparable Lily Ho 何莉莉, stuffing her face with food.

the remote, secluded and little known rice terraces of yuanyang county in china’s yunnan province were built by the hani people along the contours of ailao mountain range five hundred years ago. during the early spring season, the terraces, once planted, are irrigated with spring water from the forest above, reflecting sunlight to create these stain glass like landscapes. photos by jialiang gao, hai thinh,  javarman, isabelle chauvel, chaluntorn preeyasombat and thierry bornier
