The place I want to go again is here, it's so captivating
In the deep mountains of Yunnan Province, China
There is a miracle called 'Stairway to Heaven'—Yuanyang Terraces. Yuanyang Hani Terraces
The Hani people here, for thousands of years, have lived in harmony with nature, following the ancient farming methods, with their hands and wisdom, they have carved terraces between the mountains, like a symphony of nature, each layer carries the hard work and wisdom of the Hani people.
The Red River Hani Terraces cover an area of 17 acres, the terraces cultivated by the Hani people are large in scale and have been listed on the World Heritage List. Yuanyang Terraces is the core part of the Hani Terraces.
Best time to visit:
Every year from November to April
During the 'flood season' of the terraces, after the rice is harvested, the fields are filled with water
Under the sun, it sparkles and presents different colors with the undulating terrain, colorful, like a palette of the earth🎨
【Transportation】
The scenic area is about 36 kilometers away from Yuanyang County, all the way up the mountain
The altitude rises from more than 200 meters to 2000 meters. The road condition is good, but it's all winding mountain roads, it's more convenient to drive or charter a car.

【Tips】
To capture the sunrise and sunset requires luck, the fog in the mountains is heavy, often the clouds are thick in the morning, but the sun comes out during the day. Actually, the terraces seen in normal weather are also spectacular...
The temperature on the mountain is much lower than at the foot of the mountain, remember to wear a thick coat.
The mountain road has ninety-nine bends, be prepared for motion sickness
It's hard to go up the mountain, if you stay, it's recommended to stay near Duoyi Tree, there are many guesthouses, good views, and convenient for dining.
Self-driving camping, about 1 kilometer past the visitor center, there is a large parking lot, with charging stations and toilets, many RVs rest here.
The season may be considered off-season. I feel that only two observation decks can see the terraces. I drive into the scenic spot by myself, but the road signs are not clear enough, especially where there is a fork road, and the parking place along the way is too small and not clear enough. There is no one in the scenic spot to guide, such a scenic spot also has to collect tickets
Very spectacular place. We went early in the morning, the terraces were cloudy and the fairy air was floating. When the fog dispersed, we saw the terraces reflected in the sun, reflecting different colors, which was beautiful.
The terraces here are large in size and the scenery is beautiful. It takes more than half a day to walk around. I especially like to see the terraces in Duoyishu. It is very spectacular, and I feel the labor wisdom of the ancients.
When I arrived at the terraces, it was evening. I went to Bada to watch the sunset, but the clouds were too thick and the sunset was not seen. The terraces were still very beautiful, and a large area of terraces with a large gap in height and low. The next morning, I watched the sunrise in Duoyishu. It was wonderful. Watching the sun rising from the east mountain peak, I felt that the world was beautiful! The terraces on the side of Duoyishu are very concentrated and easy to produce films. On the way down the mountain, I also saw the terraces in Lukou Village. Under the sun, the blue sky reflected in the paddy fields, Meilun Meilun!

Four fee attractions: Tiger mouth, Duoyishu, Bada, and Sapporo, tickets ¥70, valid for three days. Qikou: You can go directly to the terraces, and you can take pictures of the blue terraces after 5 o'clock. It belongs to the characteristic model village. Hani's flavor is weaker. The mushroom houses have been rebuilt. There is a museum in Zhaizhong Square to display Hani culture. The time is not enough to ignore. Azheke Village: One of the few villages that retain Hani mushroom houses, you can see a large terraces in the village. The village is not big for more than 10 minutes to walk to the tiger mouth to watch the sunset: 17:45-18:00, try to arrive at 4 o'clock, you need to occupy a place: It takes more than 10 minutes from the ticket gate to the observation deck, and the bottom position is the best. The weather is not good and you can shoot a blockbuster. The observation deck is not big. You need to occupy the space in advance. ps: Dawasha is also a good place to watch the sunset, and it is free.
