Everyday life in Yunnan Province, China

This area of China is mostly agrarian . Now that the government is allowing people to farm their own land once again, the countryside is filled with small plots of land cultivated , for the most part, by hand or with an animal to help with the plowing.

Every acre of land is cultivated.

 Magnificent fields surrounded by mountains .
