Mist hangs low over the valley as a private van pulls off the narrow mountain road and you step onto a suspension bridge swinging above a shallow, jade-colored stream. Early light catches the edges of rice terraces cut into the slope like giant steps — farmers already at work, water wheels turning slowly by the river.
