A Saturday excursion to Gaopo with Sally, Minke, Eric, Leo, Nina and a couple of others from the Sheraton Guiyang.

We went for a "wild mushroom hotpot" first in a restaurant about hours drive from Guiyang and after drove into the mountains to watch the sunset.

The timing was perfect - just as they were harvesting the rice.

I forgot my camera and the ladies managed to persuade a kind photographer to take these pictures and send them to us.
