### Hani Time on the Cloud Ladders —A Poetic Travel Guide to Yuanyang Rice Terraces As the morning mist drifts over the cascading green stone steps, the Yuanyang Hani Rice Terraces awaken within the folds of the Honghe land. This agricultural epic, steeped in time, composes an ancient concerto between earth and humanity with three thousand years of rice waves.😘😘😘😘 🌿Travel Poem Arrive in Kunming, soaring through the clouds, then transfer to a southbound bus. As the wheels roll over the wrinkles of southern Yunnan, leave the city's hustle and bustle behind. If you have the leisure, choose a teahouse, wait for the mist to clear, and watch the mountain mist drape like a veil, gently caressing the vast rice terraces.🥰🥰🥰🥰 🌼Six Movements of the Terraces 1. Duoyishu: As dawn breaks, the clouds and mist paint the sky red, and the terraces transform into flowing amber, reflecting the figures of Hani girls combing their hair.😘😘😘😘 2. Qingkou Village: Mushroom houses scatter like fallen stars. The aroma of bamboo tube rice, stir-fried by elderly women at the stove, wafts over the entire hillside.😍😍😍😍😍 3. Laohuzui (Tiger's Mouth): Dusk crumbles the golden rice waves into the sunset glow. The setting sun, like a ripe persimmon, slowly descends at the edge of the terraces.🥰🥰🥰 4. Bada: Ascend to a high vantage point and overlook the four thousand-level terraces, weaving the earth's fingerprints. Rice ears droop humbly like lines of poetry.🌹🌹🌹🌹 5. Azheke: In the primitive village, cured meats hang under the eaves of mushroom houses. Amidst the crackling of firewood, moonlight climbs onto the window lattices.❤️❤️❤️❤️ 6. Aichun: The blue terraces are filled with reflections of the sky. As the wind sweeps past, the water surface ripples with fragmented starlight.😍😍😍😍 🏡Accommodation Flower Nest Inn (Duoyishu Branch)|CNY 200-500😘 Push open the wooden window, and the breath of the rice terraces greets you.

As you fall asleep under the stars, the terrace showcases the romance of the Milky Way cascading down.😍😍😍 Hani Charm Inn|CNY 200-600😘 The aroma of glutinous rice wafts through the traditional earthen building.
