text: The trail to Yongang's field leads over a small ridge past a steep decline which is overgrown by a wall of jungle or tall trees, banana stands and creepers which hang down from the trees like a thick curtain. Then it goes down through several fields and finally through the half darkness of a ditch filled with jungle with a small brook at the bottom. Then again uphill a bit and finally steeply down through Yongang's field to his hut.
