Sleeping Dragon

Longji (Dragon's Backbone) Terraced Rice Fields were built by hand about 650 years ago, along a slope winding from the riverside up the mountain to about 1000 metres above sea level.

Not only the resemblance of a dragon hidden underneath the ground but also a genius watering system make it one of the world's most beautiful and impressive feats of human labor.

This is a scene from the middle of the night but you can still see the headlights of people working in the fields.
