Abstract
Most of mountainous regions in Asian countries have seen penury and aging. It is serious problem in long time. As an example I would like to point out Ping-an village, Guangxi, China. They have been self-sufficient through the cultivation of rice terrace. Nowadays when the development of existing resources in less-favored rural areas is aimed, the rural landscape until now never considered as resource, may turn out to be the most valuable one. At the same time, the rice terraces becoming landscape areas by tourism industry in Ping-an village. Thus the observation of the process of change of the rural landscape into resource becomes possible.
