绿春（下）／Lv Chun (Part 2)

对很多人来说，只有一条大马路的绿春或许不值得一去，但其实这里是有它漂亮之处的。就好比说，一提到梯田，大家就会以为云南就只有元阳的梯田迷人，但这儿也有漂亮的梯田。老师带我到她村子后面的梯田走走，探访梯田的几个村子。因为连续下了几天的雨，发生了土崩，唯一的去路被埋没了，我们必须使出“看家本领”，才能够跨过障碍，走到村子去。村子里的人都很友善，虽然不认识我们，却一直邀请我们到他们家里坐坐。不过因为天气阴霾，拍出来的照片不能完全显示梯田的美。

To many people, a town like Lv Chun which only consists of a main road may not be worthy of their time. But this is actually a beautiful place. Most people will head straight to Yuanyang when they want to see rice terraces, but it is not the only place for rice terraces. You can find beautiful rice terraces here too. My teacher brought me to the rice terraces behind her village for a hike. Due to heavy rain for the past few days, there were landslides which cuased the only road leading to the villages within the rice terraces to be blocked. We literally had to be on all fours, just to get to the other side. But the sight was definitely worth all the effort. A pity though, that the cloudy weather meant that the pictures I took could not do justice to the beauty of the place.

在离开绿春之前，有幸到附近的另一个村子走走，即被称为“明信片村子”的倮（luo）别。这里的梯田或许没有元阳的壮观，但农夫在那绿油油的梯田中埋头苦干，小孩在周围玩闹，给这里增添了几分美色。最棒的就是，这里完全没有游客，也不需要付什么入门费，就只有最自然的乡下风景。 　　～伟

I was able to visit a nearby village a few hours before I leave Lv Chun. They called this the "postcard village". One look at the pictures and you will know why. The rice terraces here may not be as grand as those in Yuanyang. But the sight of farmers working hard in the green terraces and kids playing in the fields gave the place an added sense of beauty. The best part about this place is, there was absolutely no tourists (except for us of course!), and we do not have to pay any entrance fees to enjoy the beauty of this countryside!　　～wei
