Record of a two-day trip to Yuanyang on February 26 and 27, 2024
Sunrise🌅: Starts at 8:00, the golden edge appears at the Duoyishu Viewing Platform. The Moji Weather app shows sunrise at 7:30, but due to the sea of clouds, the golden edge appeared half an hour later than expected. It's all about luck,
Sunset🌇: Bada Viewing Platform and Dawazhe Viewing Platform. Personally, I find Dawazhe more stunning than Bada. Bada is too crowded, and it's really hard to get a good photo spot without getting there early, as it's packed with people. Dawazhe is only accessible by small car, more suitable for self-driving tourists, or you can ask locals to drive you there. It's closer to the terraces, and you can manage without a telephoto lens.
Hiking🚶🏻♀️: Dayutang-Full Fortune Village-Bada. In theory, all paths on the ridges are connected, and as long as you're going in the right direction, you can get through. There's no clear path from Dayutang to Full Fortune Village, but there is a clear path from Full Fortune Village to Bada Viewing Platform. It depends on how far you want to walk, each section is about 4 kilometers.⭐ If you're not good at balancing, please don't consider the section from Dayutang to Full Fortune Village, as it's all ridges. The path from Full Fortune Village to Bada is more established.
Additional charge for scenic spots outside the scenic area: Azheke ancient village, preserving the village gate and mushroom houses. The village implements a profit-sharing system, and you can see local elders living in the village, working and chatting in the fields. It's very comfortable when there are few people.
Winnowing Basket Feast🍜: Yuanyang produces red rice, so the rice is red. The winnowing basket feast is a spectacle during the New Year, and we also found a place to experience it, featuring local specialties.
🏨Accommodation in Yuanyang:
1️⃣Duoyishu is close to the core of the scenic area, but it's often damp. You can choose to stay at Love on the Road Inn or Idle Guesthouse for a slightly different experience. The advantage is that you don't need to drive to see the sunrise.
2️⃣If you don't want it too damp, you can choose Dayutang, which is a bit further away. Ha Wowo Peach Garden Homestay is a newly opened guesthouse, but you'll need to drive to see the sunrise.
3️⃣Chujian Yuanshan Guesthouse is also in the middle, and you'll need to drive to see the sunrise.
🍛Yuanyang Cuisine
1️⃣Must recommend, Hani Hotpot's old duck soup. It's best to book in advance. Freshly killed duck stewed with bamboo shoots is delicious. If you don't book in advance, you might miss out and only get chicken soup and stir-fried dishes.
2️⃣Tianshang Jiayuan in Dayutang offers local specialty stir-fries. The taste is quite good, with local flavors, and they can also prepare a winnowing basket feast.
That's about it! If you have any questions, see you in the comments section! I wish everyone can see the sunrise and sunset. Goodnight💤
"Azheke" according to the word refers to the most prosperous and auspicious small place, such a mushroom house is the traditional residence of the Hani people of Azheke Village, and Azheke Village is also one of the five Shenyi villages in the world cultural heritage red river Hani heritage area.
When it comes to Azheke, there may be many people who don't know where he is, but if you mention Yuanyang Hani terraces, I think everyone will know. Azke is a village in the Hani field of Yunnan Ocean, and is also a scenic spot here, but to enter this attraction, you need to buy tickets separately. Although you need to buy tickets separately, when we walk in, you will find that it is so happy to meet Azko in the most beautiful season. What season is Azko the most beautiful? I think the spring and autumn seasons of the year are the most beautiful. I was fortunate to come here in spring to play, see the scenery of spring flowers, and also see the spectacular irrigation in advance. A group of ducks swimming in the water to show us the truth of the spring river water warm duck prophet. Azhehe's play time is the best in about two hours, because at the end of the walk you will find a very large observation deck, you can see, very spectacular terraces, I suggest you come in the morning, because the probability of a sea of clouds in the morning will be very high.
[View] Very beautiful Hani village. The original ecology is not very commercial, it feels very good. The scenery of the terraces is also spectacular and beautiful. [Fun] The villagers are very simple and enthusiastic. The village is doing a banquet and they take the initiative to call us to eat. [Cost-effective] Ticket 30, I feel that the price is good. I also learned about their poverty reduction plan and it was a good demonstration. I hope that the villagers can live better and better.
In Yuanyang Hani terraces, many attractions are basically free, but Azheke is one of the special cases. He may have become very hot because of a movie, so he added tickets again, but I think this attraction is still worth coming to do it. After all, he has his own characteristics, his own house, his own folklore.
There is a place you must not miss when you meet the beauty of China, that is, Hani Terraces, and there is a scenic spot in Hani Terraces, you must not miss it, that is Azheko. But Azko this attraction does need to be charged separately, even then, there will still be many photography and beauty lovers to come here to take the most beautiful photos.
