The most beautiful travel destinations to set off in January

Picture 1-2 Sailimu Lake In January, Sailimu Lake is more tranquil without the hustle and bustle of the peak tourist season. The movement of ice blocks makes the ice bubbles rise and fall. It is known as the last tear of the Atlantic, with very clear water. When the lake is completely frozen, it will stage a blue ice scene that is no less than Lake Baikal. Picture 3-4 Changbai Mountain In January, Changbai Mountain seems to be in a fairy tale world, covered in silver and beautiful. You can enjoy the excitement and fun brought by snow sports such as skiing and snowboarding; you can also appreciate the magical rime landscape and feel the magic and grandeur of nature. Picture 5-6 Yunnan · Yuanyang Terraces Every year in December, the water is filled, and by January of the following year, it is the most beautiful time. Climbing to the top of the terraces, you can see the changing sea of clouds, the half-mountain villages that are looming, and the majestic view of the terraces. The scenery will change with the ethereal light and fog at any time, forming a beautiful landscape of mountains and fields.

Yuanyang: a photographer’s dream...providing the weather cooperates! From November to early spring, the incredible rice terraces are flooded with water in preparation of the next harvest. Crafted by hand by the Hani people in Yunnan, these rice terraces are an amazing feat of hard work, and are now recognised as a UNESCO heritage site. 📍 Yuanyang, Yunnan Province, China #leaveyourmark

Yuanyang is a photographer’s dream...providing the weather cooperates! From November to early spring, the incredible rice terraces here are flooded with water in preparation for the next harvest. It took around 3-4 hours driving from Kunming to reach these gorgeous rice terraces, but it was definitely worth it if you have the time to spare. Top tip: If travelling as a group, I would recommend hiring a private driver to take you there and back in order to save as much time and energy as possible! The sightseeing platforms for the rice terraces are quite far apart, and there are some gorgeous villages you can visit in the area too, and navigating public buses and time schedules to hit all of the locations you’ll want might be a bit of a pain... 📍Yuanyang, Yunnan #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel

its very easy to access and you still can enjoy the feeling of being with Hani people. They are still working on their rice fields and living their normal life. Even though can be overcrowded at the view points. we avoid all that crowded place and take a walk on trails along the rice field. It makes so much sense, less people and able to enjoy the whole view on our own.

The best time to visit the Yuanyang Rice Terraces has arrived

The period from November to April of the following year is the 'water-filling season' of the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, which is also the best travel season for the Yuanyang Rice Terraces. The time around the Spring Festival is the best. In autumn, the Yuanyang Rice Terraces are like countless shattered mirrors scattered across the land, reflecting the colorful sky, capturing every moment of sunrise and sunset, the rolling and shifting clouds. Main Attractions The main attractions of the Yuanyang Rice Terraces are four: Duoyishu for sunrise, Bada for sunset and cloud sea, Laohuzui for sunset, and Qingkou for the fairyland in the clouds. The most beautiful aspect of the terraces is the different colors seen at different times of the day at the same location, so staying in one place for an afternoon, you will witness the change of colors in the sea of mist and the terraces, which is the most beautiful. 🏞️ Bada for cloud sea sunset: Go from Duoyishu to Bada to see the cloud sea sunset. Sunset: Generally, the sunset is around 06:30 in the afternoon, during which time the color changes of the terraces are the most. Additionally, you can go to Bada to see the cloud sea at any time. 🌅 Laohuzui for sunset: Laohuzui is only for watching the sunset, which ends after six-thirty. During the day, it is generally best to go to Qingkou and Bada to see the cloud sea. If you can watch a sunset, then go to Laohuzui. ☀️☀️☀️ To fully appreciate the beauty of the water reflections and clouds at the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, one must visit on a sunny day with clouds, so be sure to check the local weather conditions before setting out. The main scenic areas here are Bada Scenic Area, Laohuzui Scenic Area, Duoyishu Scenic Area, and Qingkou Scenic Area, with the most important sights being the magnificent sunrise and sunset over the terraces and the unique charm of the Hani ethnic villages.

Yuanyang Accommodation Guide

Every year from November to April of the following year is the irrigation period for the Yuanyang terraces, and Yuanyang is truly a fairyland during this time. Where is a good place to stay when coming to Yuanyang to admire the terraces? Accommodation choices: 1. Hani Town, where there are hotels of all grades, from high to low, with relatively complete facilities and convenient living. However, it is some distance from the viewing platforms. It takes 15 minutes by car to reach the Bada sunset viewing spot and 30 minutes to the Duoyishu sunrise viewing platform. 2. Duoyishu I especially recommend staying in Duoyishu, because it is an excellent location for watching the sunrise. The accommodations here are mainly high-end scenic inns, especially the row of scenic room inns at the foot of Huangcaoling Village, which offer absolutely stunning views of the sunrise. The only downside here is the price; the cheaper places are all along the road in Duoyishu Village, and it takes more than ten minutes of walking on mountain roads to reach the viewing platform. We stayed in a scenic room guesthouse in Huangcaoling Village, Duoyishu, when we went to Yuanyang. Since the guesthouse is some distance from the road, the staff specially arranged for someone to help us carry our luggage to the accommodation. The view of the terraces from the guesthouse is particularly good, with fixed phone holders on the balcony and rooftop platform for guests to take photos. In addition, the guesthouse also has a private viewing platform open to guests.

Weekend Self-Drive Two-Day Tour Guide to Yuanyang Rice Terraces

The Hani Rice Terraces are a spectacle of terraces created over 1300 years by the Hani people and other ethnic groups, utilizing special geographical conditions, and the Yuanyang Rice Terraces are the core scenic area of the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces. The most "practical" guide 🌾 Yuanyang Rice Terraces 'contract' the high mountains and deep valleys of the Ailao Mountains, and it is recommended to visit for 2-3 days, with self-driving being the most convenient. 🌾 The best viewing area for the terraces is from November to April of the following year, because of the water season; starting from April, the transplanting period is not as picturesque. 🌾 The terraces are most beautiful at sunrise and sunset, and during the day, most of the terraces are not very attractive. 🌾 There are three areas in the Yuanyang Rice Terraces scenic area: Bada, Tiger Mouth, and Duoyishu, but there are four areas in terms of distance: Jingkou Hani Town is very close to the entrance of the scenic area, the terraces are not large, but you can watch the sunrise, and the colors are rich during the day. The Hani town has a better environment for food and lodging. Bada scenic area is large, and the sunset is more beautiful, but it is difficult to appreciate during the day. There is a coffee shop on the No. 2 viewing platform, which opens after 12 o'clock. Tiger Mouth scenic area has two viewing platforms, upper and lower, with beautiful scenery at the bottom, but it is very tiring to go up and down. You can spend 10 yuan to enter the local people's terraces, which are not crowded and have a good position. There is a coffee shop halfway up the mountain, which opens in the afternoon. Duoyishu scenic area has the most beautiful sunrise and also beautiful colors during the day, a must-visit!! The scenic area also includes Aichun, Dawazhe, and other roadside more primitive terraces, which are generally ordinary. Dawazhe is also a place to watch the sunset, with an open space beside the mountain road, no fences, and a lot of garbage. 🌾 The most worthwhile village to visit in the scenic area is the ancient Hani village of Azheke, which requires an additional ticket, 30 yuan/adult. 🌾 The best hotel to watch the sunrise is the Duoyishu Mid-Mountain Resort Hotel, which is located on the viewing platform and has its own viewing platform, but it is pricey and hard to book. Alternatively, you can choose the same owner's Yunshang Mid-Mountain Resort Hotel, located at the entrance of the scenic area, and for an additional 20 yuan, you can go to Duoyishu Mid-Mountain for breakfast. Both hotels offer free tickets to the rice terraces scenic area. Tickets: 70 yuan/adult (multiple entries to various terraces scenic areas within 72 hours) 🌾 Around 6:30 on weekends, Duoyishu is not yet congested, but the nearby mountain roads are narrow and there is always roadside parking, which may cause congestion. 🌾 The best spot in Duoyishu is a matter of opinion, but the place with three layers inside and three layers outside in the old mage should be the best. However, I personally think the hotel side has a good position. 🌾 The free parking lots in each scenic area are not large, and if you park on the villagers' land, you may be charged 10-20 yuan. 🌾 Fire pit chicken (the kind cooked around a stove), dipping chicken, roasted tofu, and various wild vegetables all taste pretty good.

Yuanyang Rice Terraces - For the colors of sunrise and sunset

People come to the Yuanyang Rice Terraces mostly to see the palette-like terraces. From November to April of the following year is the irrigation season, where the mirror-like terraces and duckweed reflect the colors of the sky. ⭐There are 2 recommended routes for sightseeing: 1⃣️ Free route, according to the hostel owners and those who have been there, it's just as good as the paid spots ☘️Sunrise - Hostels near the Duoyishu scenic area, choose one with a good view and a viewing platform. Even if you can't see the sunrise, you can still see the sea of clouds. ☘️Aichun Blue Terraces: Best around 9-10 am, the light shouldn't be too strong, otherwise, the blue terrace effect won't be there. It's right by the road, no viewing platform, you can give 5 yuan to the villagers by the fields to go up to their rooftop to take photos. ☘️ Azheke ancient village (charges a fee): After taking photos of the blue terraces, you can go here. Even if the weather is foggy, go down to the valley's viewing platform at the bottom, the weather might clear up as you walk down. ☘️Eagle's Beak: Best around 2-3 pm for taking photos of the colorful terraces, this is personally my favorite viewpoint. ☘️Sunset - Dawazhe: It's recommended to go early, especially if you're bringing a tripod. 2⃣️Paid route: A 70 yuan ticket includes 3 spots: Bada, Duoyishu, and Tiger's Mouth. ☘️ Duoyishu viewing platform for sunrise ☘️Bada for sunset and sea of clouds ☘️Tiger's Mouth for sunset, the local Hani people say this used to be the most beautiful place to watch the sunset, but due to mudslides damaging the rice fields, the scenery is not as it once was. 🍀Besides these, there are several other viewing platforms that you can visit on the way there or back. ☘️Qingkou: For a fairyland in the clouds ☘️Quanfuzhuang viewing platform ☘️Malizhai Tea Factory viewing platform 🚗 Transportation: How to get to Yuanyang is already written in another travel planning note. In summary, whether you're coming from Mengzi, Mile, or Jianshui, it's best to hire a private car or carpool, unless you're willing to transfer buses more than three times. ㊙️It's important to confirm with the driver whether they will take you directly to the designated place and whether there will be a change of cars along the way. Most drivers there only drive a section, from Mile to Gejiu, Gejiu to Yuanyang Nansha, Nansha to Yuanyang Xinjie, Xinjie to Yuanyang Rice Terraces, so make sure to clarify and confirm that there will be no car change and that you will be taken all the way. It's not recommended to hire a car from outside the area to tour the Yuanyang Rice Terraces. Drivers from outside are not familiar with the mountain roads and the locations of each scenic spot. It's better to hire a car locally for a day or half a day. ⭐Before entering Yuanyang, it's best to bring some food with you, as there are few restaurants and shops on the mountain, and even fewer choices. The red rice produced in the Yuanyang Rice Terraces is a must-try, and the red rice noodles are a specialty. 🏙️Accommodation - There are three relatively good hotels in the Yuanyang Rice Terraces scenic area 🏨 Wanshan: Good environment, average scenery 🏨 Yuanshe Azheke: Inside Azheke, looks good, the only issue is it's far from the sunrise and sunset spots 🏨 Good hotels near Duoyishu: Mid-mountain resort, Above the Clouds, with excellent views. ▶️The red rice here is single-crop rice. The local Yi drivers say that this rice is hard to make a living from; it's time-consuming, labor-intensive, and not profitable, but they continue to cultivate it only to not waste the rice fields left by their ancestors. Hearing this, one feels a sense of reverence, this is the love of generations for this red land

Yuanyang Hani Rice Terraces | This is how you should experience a self-driving tour!!!

There is a hardworking ethnic group in Honghe, Yunnan called the 'Hani people'. To expand their farmland, they have transformed entire mountains into terraced fields, attracting many visitors. It is said that 'One glance from you is 1300 years of the Hani people's efforts' On the southern side of the Ailao Mountains in Yunnan, there are thousands of terraced fields. The gentle slopes are used for large fields, and the steep slopes for smaller ones. The Hani people have turned the mountains into fertile land with their wisdom and hard work over 1300 years, creating the magnificent scenery we see today! In the morning, arrive at the Yuanyang Rice Terraces Tourist Center, where a ticket valid for three days can be purchased for the full price of 70. You can get a map at the tourist center to clearly understand the routes. Along the way, there are many viewing platforms. 'Duoyishu' is for watching the sunrise, while 'Laohuzui' and 'Bada' are for watching the sunset. The other platforms are for admiring the endless terraced fields. I took a loop, starting from the tourist center, walking to 'Jingkou Village' to see the terraced fields and the very primitive village, which is dotted with many distinctive mushroom houses. Then I drove to the 'Laohuzui' viewing platform to view the terraced fields from a distance, and then to what I personally think is the very beautiful 'Azheke Village', which requires a separate ticket of 30. This village is definitely worth a visit, with terraced fields, canyons, and mushroom houses. The wind is strong, the village is very quiet, very healing, like another paradise. The small restaurants in the village also taste good, serving Hani red rice and their specialty dish is terraced field fish. For watching the sunset, I chose 'Bada', where the view is the most expansive, with three small viewing platforms, all very beautiful and stunning! 🗓 Itinerary: Yuanyang Rice Terraces Tourist Center—Jingkou Village Terraces—Laohuzui—Azheke Village—Bada (Sunset) Viewing Platform 📝 Tips: Laohuzui is also a good spot for watching the sunset. Remember to protect yourself from the wind and sun!

Yuanyang Hani Rice Terraces

The Yuanyang Hani Rice Terraces are located in the Ailao Mountains of Yuanyang County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. On June 22, 2013, at the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, the cultural landscape of the Hani Rice Terraces was unanimously approved to be included in the 'World Heritage List'. The heritage area encompasses the representative and concentrated contiguous distribution of rice terraces and their dependent water source forests, irrigation systems, and ethnic villages. Within the territory of Yuanyang County, there are more than 170,000 mu of terraces, which are the landscape of mountains and fields carved out by the Hani people over more than 1,300 years. The Hani Rice Terraces scenic area features towering mountains with a V-shaped development, fragmented surface, and rugged and steep terrain. Where the slopes are gentle and the land is large, large fields are cultivated, and where the slopes are steep and the land is small, small fields are cultivated. Even the gaps between rocks on the edges of ditches are used for cultivation, resulting in terraces that range from several mu in size to as small as a dustpan, often with thousands of mu on a single slope. The Ailao Mountains have a variety of soil types, mainly strong-viscosity yellow and red soils, with fertile deep brown forest soils in between. The area has a high-temperature and rainy subtropical monsoon climate with a distinct vertical climate and frequent fog and rain. The main scenic areas of Yuanyang Rice Terraces include Bada scenic area (including Qingkou, Quanfuzhuang, Malizhai, Zhulu and other terraces), Laohuzui scenic area (including Mengpin, Dongpu, Amengkong, Baoshanzhai and other terraces), and Duoyishu scenic area (including Duoyishu, Aichun, Dawazhe and other contiguous terraces). Such numerous terraces, set against the vast forests and covered by the endless sea of clouds, form a magical and magnificent landscape. ⏳Visiting Time: To enter the scenic area and view the platforms, a ticket must be purchased. The visiting time is half a day to 1 day.

I stayed in Yuanyang for two days, just to witness the beauty of the terraced fields

When the terraced fields are filled with water, the surface reflects the colors of the sky, as if a mosaic was laid upon the earth. So this trip was to see the terraced fields in Yuanyang, Yunnan, with a plan to stay in Yuanyang for two days. The 1st day: Watch the sunset at Bada🌇 The 2nd day: Watch the sunrise at Duoyishu🌄—Love Spring Blue—Azheke Village—Watch the sunset at Tiger Mouth🌇 The 3rd day: Watch the sunrise at Qingkou🌄 ⭕️You need to buy a ticket🎫 to enter the viewing platform, 💰65 yuan/3 days. ⭕️To see the sunrise at Duoyishu🌄, I stayed at a guesthouse next to Duoyishu on the first day, and then moved to the Yuanyang Yuanshe Mulaya Guesthouse in Hani Town👉 (there is a viewing platform in the small town nearby, and Qingkou viewing platform is less than 1 kilometer away). ⭕️The sunrise is at 7:20 am, and the viewing platform opens at 6 am. It's still a bit chilly in the early morning, so pay attention to ⚠️keeping warm. The sunset is around 7 pm, and it's important to ⚠️go early to get a good spot, as some people start to take positions as early as 3 or 4 pm. ⭕️There are 3 small viewing platforms in Bada, Duoyishu's is relatively large, and Tiger Mouth's is also big. ⭕️During the two days I stayed, there was always heavy fog🌁 on the mountain, and I only saw a little bit of sunset🌇 at Tiger Mouth. ⭕️I didn't see the sunrise at Duoyishu on the second day🌄, and thought that Love Spring Blue, which is at a higher altitude, would be better, but it was still heavy fog🌁. ⭕️Azheke Village is an ancient village inhabited by the Hani people, and you need to buy a ticket💰30 yuan/piece🎫 to enter the village. It was not as primitive as I imagined, quite disappointing. ⭕️There was heavy fog🌁 that day, visibility was poor, and I didn't see many villagers, mostly tourists. ⭕️Although there is only one road in the mountains, the mountain roads are mostly hairpin turns, and with the heavy fog🌁, the fastest speed is only 30km/h. ⚠️I couldn't find a gas station⛽️ on the mountain, and didn't see one for a long distance down the mountain either, so if you are driving🚗 into the mountains, remember to fill up on gas in advance. I finally understand why 🌈Yunnan is rich in mushrooms🍄, if I stayed a few more days, I might start growing mushrooms too. ⚠️Remember to bring more snacks before going up the mountain, although there are some on the mountain, the choices are limited.

The Earth's palette, Yuanyang Rice Terraces have entered the best period for water irrigation viewing

Yunnan Yuanyang Rice Terraces are a spectacular wonder of agricultural civilization created over more than 1300 years by generations of the Hani people, utilizing the unique geographical climate. In 2013, it was inscribed on the World Heritage List, with a core area of 170,000 mu, and its scale is extremely large.

Yuanyang Terraces, a giant glass painting carved by the sky

Yuanyang Terraces are located in the Ailao Mountains at an altitude of 1000-2000 meters. The babbling streams in the forest pass through the mountains, nourishing the terraces layer by layer. Through the sunlight at different seasons, heights, and angles, it reflects different colors with the surrounding crops, weeds, shrubs, and algae. Originally, I was hoping to shoot the effect of the golden red water reflection of the sunlit terraces, but when I got to the scene, I realized how difficult it was. In addition to the need for the sun to come out red, there must also be a sea of clouds, but the cloud layer cannot be too thick or too thin, this is the rhythm of fighting with the sky. However, just this giant painting screen like a carving, its momentum is so magnificent that it is enough to make people stop and admire.

The 'Four Elements Isomorphism' system of Yuanyang terraces in Yunnan

The 'Four Elements Isomorphism' agricultural ecosystem of forest-village-terrace-water system is a typical representative of the farming culture of Yuanyang Hani terraces in Yunnan. 'One mountain divides four seasons, ten miles different days', this day we encountered a thick fog that we couldn't see each other within 100 meters, wandering around the fields and villages, waiting for nearly two hours, finally the fog gradually opened, and the mountains and rivers appeared suddenly. For tourists, the terraces are the 'most beautiful mountain carvings', just a piece of art in the aesthetic sense, but for the Hani people in the mountains, the terraces are their livelihood. After the rain falls, it flows through the forest, villages, terraces, and finally returns to the river, repeating in cycles, so that humans and nature can continue to exist, for thousands of generations.

Summarize the various attractions of the Yuanyang terraced fields

Yuanyang terraced fields is a general term, there are several terraced fields and many viewing platforms inside. It is recommended to squat at least one afternoon and sunset + one sunrise and morning, so that you can see the main viewing points and the best time periods. Note that taking pictures of terraced fields is very time-consuming, generally from dusk to sunset, and from sunrise to around 12 noon. Also, please prepare a telephoto lens or a mobile phone that can take telephoto shots. Here are a few viewing platforms, in no particular order: 1. Aichun Blue Terraced Field (Pictures 1-3). Highly recommended. The best time is from 8-10 am on a sunny day. The blue color is a reflection of the sky. After 11 o'clock, the sun is too high and the color will weaken. Parking is convenient. Going down the terraced field will cost money, 5 yuan per person, and may be charged twice. 2. Duoyi Tree Terraced Field (Pictures 4-6). Highly recommended, and the sunrise here should not be missed. It is recommended to stay here for one night, preferably with a room that can directly see the terraced fields. Because there are many people watching the sunrise at the viewing platform in the morning. Parking is available on the roadside. 3. Azheke Village (Pictures 7-12). Highly recommended. The houses in the village are quite distinctive, but the best thing is that the colors of the terraced fields here are very rich. The color saturation is high around 11-12 o'clock. Parking is relatively easy, 4. Bada Viewing Platform (Pictures 13-15). Recommended. One of the main points to watch the sunset. It's also what I think is more appropriate. Mainly because it's easy to park and not tiring. There is a cafe in the scenic area, with food and drink, you can wait for the sunset. But I still recommend using a drone to shoot, there are too many people on the viewing platform. 5. Tiger Mouth Terraced Field (Picture 16). Not recommended. There are police cars driving around not allowing parking on the roadside. The viewing platform is far from the terraced fields and you can't see much. Going down to the viewing platform requires a long distance down the mountain, and then turning back... it's very tiring. If you want to see, it is also recommended to watch the sunset. 6. Eagle Mouth Terraced Field (Pictures 17-18). Not recommended. The terraced fields themselves are quite beautiful, with many red pools (similar to Azheke). But the road to the terraced fields is extremely difficult to walk, and you will pass through a village with extremely chaotic traffic. The viewing platform is not well built, just look at the edge of the cliff. Non-photography enthusiasts can skip it. The main ones are these. Duoyi Tree, Bada, Aichun, and Azheke are very close, you can watch the sunset at Bada. The next day, watch the sunrise at Duoyi Tree, and then go to Aichun and Azheke. There is also a place called Dawazhe, which is also for watching the sunset.

The most beautiful Hani on the cloud "Yuanyang Terraces"

Guangxi self-driving to Xishuangbanna I originally wanted to adjust it directly in Mengzi, and I thought it should be beautiful to see the terraces in this season , so our whole family and a dog 🐶 decided to rush to Yuanyang Although I looked at the navigation a bit roundabout, but thinking about it is to see the beautiful scenery Just go, but I didn't expect us to follow the navigation from the high-speed entrance of Gejiu to the south, and I felt that it was not far away when I saw that there were only 85 kilometers left in the navigation. At that time, the sky was dark, although it was a mountain road, I thought it would be there in two hours anyway, but we have been climbing uphill and turning around since we started climbing, getting higher and higher The road is narrow and I dare not drive at all. As a result, it took three and a half hours to drive around the 85-kilometer road to the top of the mountain. But it's really worth seeing the beautiful scenery the next day. ☁️ Friends who go to the terraces must take the high-speed road from Yuanyang to the west. This uphill road is much easier to walk. Don't listen to the navigation.

This is the most primitive terrace I have ever visited - Yuanyang Terrace

Yunnan Yuanyang Terrace two-day tour I took a hitchhiking car from Jianshui to the entrance of the terrace scenic area. The ticket is 70 per person, half price for children. The first stop is Qingkou Village. After lunch, I saw a taxi in the parking lot and asked if I could charter a car. The driver helped to contact another driver, 200 yuan for half a day. The driver is very nice, taking us to see the beautiful scenery all the way, famous and nameless terraces, enough to see, enough to take pictures. The ones I remember are the Eagle Beak, the viewing platform is very windy, and indeed can distinguish the shape of the eagle's beak. When passing by Duoyi Tree, I visited a hotel on the spot, which is very close to the scenic area and is a view room. You can watch the sunrise in the room. The last stop is Badada to watch the sunset. The clouds cover the sun, and occasionally some sun shines on the terraces, which is very beautiful. On the way back from Badada to Duoyi Tree, I walked a few hundred meters past a viewing platform and watched the sunset for a while. The terrace area is small, small and exquisite, very beautiful. I saw the sunrise that I think about day and night, and also saw the sea of clouds, blue terraces, and the sun shining on the mountains and wilds.😊

Earth's Palette | Yuanyang Terraces have entered the best water-filling viewing period

Yuanyang Terraces in Yunnan are a spectacular sight of terraced farming civilization created by the Hani people over more than 1300 years, generation after generation, using special geographical climate. Selected as a World Heritage Site in 2013, the core area is 170,000 mu, and the scale is extremely large. Two major scenic areas of the World Heritage Core: 1. Bada Scenic Area: Includes Qinkou, Quanfu Village, Malizhai and other contiguous 14,000 mu terraces. 2. Tiger Mouth Scenic Area: Includes Mengpin, Dongpu, Baoshanzhai and nearly 6,000 mu terraces. Best season: Water-filling season from November to March of the following year. Must-see photography points: - Sunrise: Duoyi Tree (main push), Huangcaoling. Duoyi Tree Terrace is famous for its sunrise, with an altitude of 1900 meters. The keywords here are morning glow, sea of clouds, terraces, villages, and morning fog. The upper part of this terrace is as gentle as a vast bay, and the lower part is as steep as a leaning building, which is very expressive when shooting. Duoyi Tree viewing platform only needs to check tickets in the morning, and can be freely accessed in the afternoon. - 8-10 am: Aichun (Blue Terrace). The reason why Aichun Terrace is the Blue Terrace is not because the water is blue, but because the terraces here easily reflect the blue of the sky, especially after the clear sky after the rain. The blue terrace appears mostly between 8~10 in the morning. Aichun is 5 kilometers away from Duoyi Tree, and you can go immediately after watching the sunrise. - Sunset: Tiger Mouth (main push), Bada, Dawazhe. Tiger Mouth Terrace is the best place to watch the sunset. The mountain is the most dangerous, the momentum is the most magnificent, and the large area is frequently out. Standing on the viewing platform and looking down, the terraces under your feet are like surging waves, and they are like thousands of magic mirrors lined up. The sunset reflection in the field is like a dream. The Tiger Mouth viewing platform has been closed since 2018 due to a landslide, but you can pay for the villagers to lead the way to find alternative photography positions. Bada Terrace has the largest drop in Yuanyang, from the 900-meter-high river valley up the mountain, extending all the way to the top of the mountain more than 2000 meters, more than 3700 terraces are like layers of sky ladder.

Yuanyang Yunding Inn Yuanyang Terraces, I don't really recommend coming

Yuanyang Yunding Inn Yuanyang Terraces, I don't really recommend coming 1If you can't drive or charter a car, I really don't recommend it, public transportation I would call it almost non-existent, it's still a mountainous area, if you don't drive how do you plan to come, if you can come it's also a half-dead torment. We drove from Kunming, it takes more than four hours to get to Yuanyang Terraces. Speaking of which, if your driving skills are not good, you can hit animals in minutes when you get to Yuanyang County 2So you can arrange some itinerary for yourself on the road, because there are not many places to stop on the highway all the way. So we went to Fuxian Lake on the way, but it's not the location of Fuxian Lake Scenic Area on the map, because that's not on the way, the one on the way is called Luchong Scenic Area, the ticket is 15, we didn't go in because there are places to park and take pictures outside, Fuxian Lake is so big, where can't you see it, maybe the scenic area has something I can't see, but I don't know, I just saw it on the road and decided to stop and take a look. The green one is less popular, called Xingyun Lake, not far from Fuxian Lake there is a Xingyun Rest Station, you can see it by the way. 3I suggest staying in Duoyi Tree, it's more convenient, many people stay here. The hotel we stayed in is called Yunding, the room can see the terraces, the view is good, the price is now more than 200, the hotel can eat, if you think you can't get up in the morning and don't want to go out, you can see the sunrise on the roof of the hotel, but it's definitely much worse than the viewing platform. The sunset we saw at Dawazhe under the suggestion of the hotel owner, there are many people, the small road is very difficult to drive, it's easy to meet on a narrow road, if your driving skills are not good, be careful, or find a good place to park when there are a few hundred meters left, don't block others' way. 5This is a mountainous area, so the food is more expensive, here is a reference, bamboo shoots stir-fried with cured meat 55, a kind of unknown mushroom stir-fried with eggs 30 (this is not recommended, you can't taste the flavor and texture of this mushroom, it's chopped up), stir-fried greens 20. It's not very expensive, but compared to the cost of living here, it should be considered expensive. The bananas I bought in the afternoon were a kilo for a dollar!! Dream back to 20 Years ago this price was simply. It's not very cold here, even now in December, just remember to wear a coat at sunrise and sunset when the wind is strong, other times a long-sleeved shirt is almost enough 7Bought a bag of cooked eggs from the old grandmother of the Hani children , purely to help, seeing their kind and simple Look, I didn't eat until the evening, I hope it's still fresh tomorrow morning. 8By the way, there are winter cherry blossoms in Yunnan now
