📍Organic rice fields owned by the Red Yao tribe, in Longsheng, Guangxi, China. 

🌾 We traveled here with @vioribeauty [sponsored] , the small company that helped the Red Yao tribe convert this land to organic farming. Viori paid for the entire process and guaranteed the farmers would have a buyer for their newly organic rice. 

 ↳ The buyer = you and me! When we order their shampoo & conditioner bars, we’re supporting organic farming and this indigenous community! 

💸 And you’ll save 10% on your order with the code TILTEDMAP (psst… it also works for $300 off this trip!)

Traveling in rural China is full of opportunities Traveling in rural China is full of opportunities for big rewards… especially if you’re willing to get a little bit out of the Western comfort zone! 

For example:

🤯  This lovely room with that stunning view goes for about ¥150 Chinese yuan ($21 USD) in the off season (when we were there) and maybe ¥300 yuan in the high season.

Would YOU stay in this hotel? 😯
