Hacka women harvesting rice.

I suspect that this photograph was taken somewhere on the road between Sek Kong and Yuen Long.  Perhaps the mountains will provide a more accurate location. Harvesting rice by hand and using those huge baskets must now be a thing of the past.  Even by 1981, I recall that rice paddies and fish and duck farms were becoming rather an unusual sight.
