The morning after a rainy night, the resulting mist seems like waves overwhelming the mountains and village in Congjiang county, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou, China.

It is early autumn, the terraced rice fields have just turned half golden. 

Miao people is one of the ethnic group living here, and their traditional Diaojiao buildings hiding in the mountains look like a legendary secret place.
