National Park Longji
• LONGJI RICE TERRACES ARE LIKE A BEAUTIFUL NATURAL
PICTURE, VARYING DEPENDING ON THE SEASON. MANMADE "STEP FIELDS" BEND PICTURESQUELY ALONG THE
SLOPES, LIKE LINES OF MYSTERIOUS MANUSCRIPT LINES OR
GIANT SHELLS. IN CHINA, THEY ARE CALLED "THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD" AND "THE ONLY ONES UNDER
THE CLOUDS.“
• IN SPRING, THE WATER IRRIGATES THE FIELDS AND THE
TERRACES LOOK LIKE BIG SHINY RIBBONS HANGING ON
THE SLOPES OF MOUNTAINS AND HILLS. IN EARLY SUMMER,
THE ASPIC RICE TURNS GREEN AND THE RICE TERRACES
LOOK LIKE CASCADES POURING DOWN FROM THE SKY OR
A “GREEN WAVE SPILLED FROM THE SKY”. WE GOT INTO
THE GAP BETWEEN THESE SEASONS, SO IN THE PHOTO
THERE ARE RIBBONS OF FLOODED TERRACES AND GREENERY
OF SEEDLINGS.

12.

RICE TERRACES
• RICE TERRACES ON THE SLOPES OF THE PHILIPPINE CORDILLERA ARE
MAN-MADE GARDENS ERECTED MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND YEARS
AGO BY THE ANCESTORS OF THE IFUGAO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. THE
LARGE-SCALE AGRICULTURAL "PROJECT" IS A MONUMENT TO PRECOLONIAL AGRICULTURE: THE IFUGAO ARE ONE OF THE FEW TRIBES
THAT HAVE LONG RESISTED FOREIGN DOMINATION, HAVING
MANAGED TO PRESERVE AN AUTHENTIC WAY OF LIFE. THE FIELDS
PLOWED ALONG THE STEEP SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGE
HAVE CREATED AMAZING CULTURAL LANDSCAPES. AND THE
CHARACTERISTIC RELIEF WITH LEDGES, ON WHICH VEGETABLES AND
RICE ARE GROWN TO THIS DAY, SERVED AS AN ORIGINAL DEFENSIVE
STRUCTURE. RICE TERRACES ARE AN ICONIC LANDMARK AND A
NATIONAL TREASURE OF THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO. THE PLOWED
MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPES ARE DEPICTED ON THE COUNTRY'S
BANKNOTE, AND IN 1995 THEY WERE TAKEN UNDER UNESCO
PROTECTION. TODAY, AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES ARE EXTREMELY
VULNERABLE: SOIL EROSION, DROUGHT AND WEEDS DESTROY
ACREAGE, ENDANGERING THE INTEGRITY OF THE MAN-MADE
MIRACLE.

13.

MOGAO CAVES
• ACCORDING TO LEGEND, IN 366, A MONK NAMED
LUO TSUN HAD A VISION OF 1000 BUDDHAS,
AFTER WHICH HE BEGAN TO CUT DOWN THE FIRST
CAVE. MOGAO CAVES ARE LOCATED ON THE
GREAT SILK ROAD, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
TRADE ROUTES OF THE EAST. THE MONK ASKED
PASSING MERCHANTS TO DONATE MONEY FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF CAVES. WITH THE SPREAD OF
CHINESE MAHAYANA BUDDHISM, WHICH PROMISES
DELIVERANCE NOT ONLY TO MONKS, BUT ALSO TO
LAYPEOPLE AND PRESUPPOSES AN ABSTRACT
NIRVANA A VISUAL INTERMEDIATE PARADISE
