Aerial views of terraced farms of Naxi (minority) people just upstream from Judian at 6,500ft. Corn is put up on roofs of buildings to dry, ground is terraced for growing millet, cabbage, corn and wheat without irrigation, on a tributary of Yangtze River. Many of the fields are dotted with piles of manure mixed with straw ready to be mixed into soil before planting crops. Terraces here are plowed with water buffalo and small tractors.
