Thanks to National Geographic for the recommendation! The trip to Yunhe Terraces was totally worth it…

We encountered a rainbow at Yunhe Terraces! It started drizzling shortly after we arrived 🌧️ Unexpectedly, it stopped soon after, and when we looked up, there was a rainbow! Indeed, the best surprises are on the road! Back from the National Day holiday trip, and the guide is ready.
