description of arrival at Tang; grave huts |
| text: |
At the far bank we were faced by a steep and very hot climb. After about an hour we reached the ridge of Yoting and saw the village on a nearby spur. From there the climb continued, though less steeply, and in a hollow we passed a shallow pool, where some buffaloes were wallowing in the mud. There were many signs of large numbers of cattle, suggesting that Tang was richer in livestock than the other villages. At last we came to a rest-house built on a raised stone platform. and soon afterwards entered high forest surrounding the village. There we found some grave-huts with carved images of warriors inside, and in front a wooden post fashioned in the likeness of a human figure. |
