The rice terraces look like actualized topography elevation maps. Dragon's Backbone runs across the top, yes the TOP, of Longji Mountain. Chinese ethnic minority, the Yao People, live on the mountain in houses that look, well, precarious.

The musical instruments used in monasteric rituals and ceremonies. The unique vocal chanting and ritual music of Tibet is believed to have originally been transmitted by the Dakinis (Tib. mkha' 'gro ma), the realised female yoginis of the pure realms. Its strange rhythm structures and atonal melodies are extremely complex, requiring years of training to perfect. Each monastery has its own specific ritual repertoire, with different modes of musical expression for liturgical ceremonies, and for the rites of peaceful deities, lamas, yidams, dakinis and wrathful protective deities.
