Yuanyang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

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.

A Zhe Ke is a stunningly authentic village in the Honghe area of Yunnan. While here, we learned that locals will hold an annual banquet called the Long Street Banquet - every family will cook a dish or two, dress up and gather together with their neighbours to eat and celebrate. 📍A Zhe Ke, Yunnan, China #leaveyourmark

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💤

The Hani people

❤ The Hani ethnic group sustains itself with terraced rice cultivation, and Hani women are especially hardworking. Walking through Hani villages, one sees women engaged in heavy and tiring labor, experiencing the incredible Hani culture. 📝 Between 384 and 362 BC, the Qin dynasty expanded rapidly, and the ancient Qiang people, a nomadic group living on the Tibetan Plateau, were attacked and dispersed, leading to the emergence of several branches with different names. 'He Yi' was a branch of the ancient Qiang people who migrated south. After settling by the Dadu River, they adapted to the local flat plains and the 'self-sprouting valleys' geographical environment and conditions, and began an agricultural life. Later, due to wars and other reasons, they were forced to leave their farming settlements and migrate again, entering the subtropical Ailao Mountains in Yunnan. ​ The Hani rice terracing system in the Ailao Mountain range, spanning over 200,000 mu, has a cultivation history of more than 1,300 years, nurturing about 1.26 million people from the Hani ethnic group and other 10 ethnic groups.

Yuanyang Rice Terraces~~ A'kouzhe Scenic Area

The Yuanyang Rice Terraces of A'kouzhe are a very distinctive terraced field, where 'A'kouzhe' means 'a lucky small place'. With a history of more than 160 years, the A'kouzhe village is situated at an altitude of over 1800 meters, shrouded in mist throughout the year. Below the village are terraced fields cascading down the mountainside, which tourists like to call 'the terraced fields above the clouds'. A'kouzhe village is one of the five key villages for the heritage application of the Hani Rice Terraces. The village has more than 60 thatched-roof mushroom houses, which experts consider to be the best-preserved traditional Hani architectural complex in Yuanyang County.

Duoyishu’s spectacular terraced rice fields

It’s a bit of a journey to get there after multiple taxis and minivans but Wow, absolutely worth the effort!

Watching the sunrise at Yuanyang Rice Terraces

I stayed overnight at Duoyishu in Yuanyang County, Honghe, planning to watch the sunrise at seven o'clock. Unfortunately, a heavy fog set in, shrouding everything in a grey haze, and it seemed unlikely that I would see the sunrise. Holding onto a sliver of hope, I got up early and parked 500 meters ahead on the roadside, then hiked to the viewing platform. This strategy paid off, as the narrow village road was jam-packed with cars, and the cacophony of voices and horns was incessant. Even the roadside chickens were disturbed, flying up to the branches to escape. The official viewing platform required a 70-yuan ticket for entry and was crowded with people three layers deep. Next to it was a private house with an even better spot for watching the sunrise, charging 10 yuan per person on the rooftop. I went up early to secure a prime spot and sat on a small stool waiting for the fog to clear. Unfortunately, luck was not on my side, and I missed the magnificent sight of the sunrise casting golden light over the terraces. On the way back, I bought some roasted potatoes to eat. The people of Yunnan really love their dipping sauces, with different foods accompanied by different sauces, even roasted potatoes come with a special one, and it tasted quite good. The owner of the guesthouse took us on a back path to the upper village of Duoyishu to see the terraces. His family lives in this old village. Along the way, he greeted acquaintances, and villagers were already at work in the fields, clearing duckweed from the water. The viewing platform at the end of the small path offered an excellent vantage point without any disturbances. Looking out, I saw endless, rolling hills of terraces cultivated by the Hani people over dozens of generations, a monumental and spectacular masterpiece. Leaving the village and heading towards the highway, I saw many beautiful terraces along the way. Everywhere I looked was a scene to behold, absolutely breathtaking!

In early spring in southeastern Yunnan, colors overflow between heaven and earth (Part 7): The terraced fields of Duoyishu

The Yuanyang terraced fields are grand in scale and majestic, stretching across the southern banks of the Red River in counties such as Honghe, Yuanyang, Lvchun, and Jinping. Within Yuanyang County alone, there are 170,000 mu of terraced fields. Among these, the Duoyishu scenic area, Bada scenic area, Qingkou Hani town, and Tiger Mouth (which has been damaged by mudslide disasters) are considered the most scenic spots. The Duoyishu scenic area is a stronghold for photographers who love to capture the sunrise over the terraces. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and dropping into a valley on the other, the sunrise here is spectacular, as the sunlight spills onto the terraced fields like cascading blocks of oil paint. To see the sunrise, one must get up very early, before dawn. As we drive along the winding roads towards the destination, when the sky shows the first light of dawn, the Duoyishu scenic area is already bustling with people. Vehicles line the roads, and people are everywhere—on the foothills, on the roads, on the mountain slopes. Most of them are photographers, or at least photography enthusiasts. It turns out that these people arrived before dawn to capture the sunrise, their concentration is so intense. Passing by them inadvertently, one always hears the 'click, click' of camera shutters... 'Here it comes, everyone get ready.' Someone in the crowd shouts, and everyone springs into action, freezing in an instant, followed by the incessant sound of camera shutters, creating a moving symphony. People capture the changing scenery with their cameras, preserving it in their palms as a permanent treasure. In the hearts of many, the Duoyishu terraced fields are the most magnificent in Yuanyang. Perhaps it is because the best time to view the Duoyishu terraced fields is in the early morning, or for some other reason, but I always feel that the Duoyishu terraced fields are the youngest, most vibrant, and most energetic. When the dawn light filters through the top of Dongguanyin Mountain, the entire terraced field becomes orderly in light and shadow, with a harmonious arrangement. Some parts resemble galloping horses, others gentle sheep, and some like resting old bulls... all varied and innumerable in form. With the mist rising with the wind, accompanied by the hazy fog, it is like a sleeping fairy, so handsome, elegant, and dignified, adding a touch of mystery and wonder. As time passes, the dawn light shines on the glittering terraced fields, turning them golden, a dazzling and enchanting sight from any angle, a delightful experience of beauty. This is a clever combination of human work and nature, as well as a great spiritual legacy left by the Hani ancestors to their descendants and to the world. With the air convection in the valley, the mist begins to rise, and under the glow of the morning sun, the clouds in the sea of clouds are dyed with brilliant colors, like brocade, like rouge, resembling a sea yet not a sea, and not a sea yet resembling one, a sight too beautiful for words. Sometimes the wind stirs up the clouds, unpredictable and ever-changing, sometimes like raging waves, powerful and distinctive. The distant peaks appear like giant turtles wandering, sometimes hidden, sometimes visible, like bathing young girls, naturally beautiful and graceful. The floating mist gathers and disperses, fleeting in a moment, like the vast waves of the ocean, truly a picture of a fairyland palace. When the mist clears, the valley is open, with villages laid out among them, and the combination of green mountains—sunrise—sea of clouds—terraced fields—mushroom houses forms a magical and wonderful painting. The terraced fields of Duoyishu

Yunnan Red River Yuanyang Twelve Manor Xiangdian Hotel recommendation

📍The inn is located in the natural village within the core scenic area of the Yunnan Red River Hani Terraces, a World Cultural Heritage site, and is built close to the terraces. As you enter the lobby of the inn, the strong ethnic characteristics hit you in the face. The fire pit for barbecue, the hand-woven items on the wall, the wooden structure of the building frame and furniture, the lampshade modified from a chicken cage, and the wall filled with rice grains with a full concave-convex texture, all highlight a kind of primitive color and texture. 🏡The vast terraces are close at hand. The inn has sixteen view rooms, each with large floor-to-ceiling windows. Pull the curtains, and the vast terraces are right in front of you. Each window has a different terrace view. Different terrace views are presented to you in the morning, noon, and evening. You can order a cup of tea, flip through a book, and sit for a whole day. Of course, you can also lie in bed and watch; you can even watch while taking a bath. 🎬There are many fun places to play around, so you don't have to worry about where to go tomorrow. The inn can recommend a lot to you: take a walk early in the morning to watch the sunrise, come for a sunset in the evening, find a morning to go to the village fair, eat rice noodles and tofu, if you are not satisfied, put on a waterproof suit to touch fish and catch shrimp in the terraces, have a fire pit barbecue in the evening, and do you want to go to the rooftop to watch the stars at night?

With Yunnan, there is always a fate to go around, just like the winding mountain road, eighteen bends, this time finally came to Yuanyang. The universitys good girlfriends come from an old, lively and straightforward Sagittarius girl. The memory still retains her first cloud-leg mooncakes and cattle dry bar, which is my first impression of Yunnan. When the car passed the fruit market, I took a photo of Jackfruit, Plantain, Dragon Fruit, Rambutan. Send, she replied: Eat more fruits and vegetables~ arrive at the destination before dark. The enthusiastic Hani people greeted the already well-prepared boutique hotel - Twelve Manor and Fragrance. The warmth of the hall is warm, and the room has fresh fragrance from the mountains and the fragrance of the earth. The decoration of the wood-colored bamboo and wood makes people unload all the exhaustion and looks out the window. Terraced fields.

Early Spring in Southeast Yunnan - A World of Color (Part Eight): Tiger Mouth Terrace

The Tiger Mouth Terrace scenic area is located in Panzhihua Township, Yuanyang County. The terraces are distributed in deep valleys and are the most representative and spectacular part of the Yuanyang Hani terraces. The terraces are built along the mountain contours, rising level by level, with a grand scale and a majestic momentum, yet with a strong sense of rhythm, like a 'wordless history book' carved between the ridges. The Tiger Mouth Terrace is distributed in deep valleys, resembling a huge pistil, with terraces of various shapes, continuous and interconnected, like the tide or the sea. Upon closer inspection, there vaguely appear two galloping steeds, or like an ancient turtle lying quietly between the mountains. Field sheds are scattered among them, like little boats ready to set sail. Thousands of acres of terraces cling to the mountain ridges. The Tiger Mouth scenic area is one of the best spots to view the sunset, terraces, and sea of clouds; it is also one of the core conservation areas proposed for World Cultural Heritage; this is the most precipitous, magnificent, and spectacular terrace scenic area in Yuanyang, with the largest area; just the Tiger Mouth area alone has more than 1,700 acres of mountain terraces! The surging momentum is like a grand symphony of heaven and earth! Its characteristics include a strong sense of three-dimensionality, intense color layering, and a kaleidoscope of hues, like an oil painting; standing on the high Tiger Mouth and looking down, one can marvel at the terraces resembling a blooming white giant flower, with more than 3,000 acres of terraces in various shapes, like a pistil of serpents lying quietly, with the sunlight casting down like heavenly azure waves, like a lake or sea, with nearly a hundred field sheds dotted among them, like sailing boats, causing endless amazement! The Tiger Mouth is the highlight of a trip to Yuanyang and a great place to shoot the sunset. Even if the weather is bad, the spectacular lines of Tiger Mouth will still leave you in awe. The Tiger Mouth viewing platform is divided into: the upper viewing corridor and the lower viewing platform at the foot of the mountain; the upper viewing corridor allows one to overlook the entire Tiger Mouth from a higher position, further away from the terraces. The lower viewing platform is an ideal place to shoot the sunset. The altitude of Tiger Mouth is much lower than that of Duoyishu, so sometimes when there is a thick fog on the Duoyishu side and nothing can be seen, Tiger Mouth can be seen very clearly. (The Tiger Mouth Terrace was temporarily closed in July 2018 due to geological disasters, and it reopened on April 10, 2023.)

Tiger Mouth Terraces - A Spectacular Natural Wonder

Hidden 50 kilometers from Yuanyang County in Yunnan is a magical landscape, the Tiger Mouth Terraces. This place is located between deep valleys, shaped like a huge flower bud. There are over 3,000 acres of various terraces here, like thousands of snakes lying quietly among the flower buds. When the sun shines down, the terraces are like the blue waves in the sky, rippling, giving people a feeling of waves hitting the shore, as if seeing thousands of snakes wriggling on this land. The Tiger Mouth Terraces are the most representative and spectacular place in the Yuanyang Hani Terraces. Standing high on the Tiger Mouth and looking down, it feels like being in a sea swept by tides. If you look closely, you can vaguely see two galloping horses, or a sleeping millennium turtle lying quietly in the mountains, as if telling the hard journey of the Hani ancestors in reclaiming the terraces. In this terrace, there are nearly a hundred field sheds, like small boats ready to sail, which are breathtaking. Looking west, there are countless terraces extending from south to north, like three giant dragons dancing in the clouds. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, red, white, and black are interspersed, shining with dazzling brilliance. Looking east, thousands of acres of terraces are attached to seven semi-circular mountain ridges, forming a crescent-shaped sky ladder, rushing into the sky. These terraces are connected with the terraces on the mountain ridge, the sun shines in them, sparkling, as if forming a three-dimensional ocean. Coming to the Tiger Mouth Terraces, you will be shocked by this spectacular scenery. This is one of nature's most wonderful creations, providing an excellent opportunity to explore spectacular landscapes. No matter where you stand, you can feel the beautiful scenery and endless charm brought by this terrace. Relax and immerse yourself in the embrace of nature, feeling a close connection with nature in this unique place. So, if you crave an unforgettable travel experience, the Tiger Mouth Terraces will become the perfect destination in your heart! 🌈✨ Tiger Mouth Terraces

Overlooking the entire tiger's mouth terraces on the observation deck, the stretches of the mountains are being reclaimed. Because the distance is far, the opposite mountain looks like a step, green and oily. The clouds in the sky are like cotton candy, which is very soft and comfortable to look at. The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are relatively strong, and the sun is so painful. "How many levels can there be to the exit steps?" "Well, almost eight hundred levels." "Oh, there are almost 2 Sun Yat-sen Mausoleums." "Zhongshan Mausoleum, Nanjing? I always wanted to see it, but I have never had a chance." So I went to Nanjing, we talked for a long time, she yearned for the beauty of Jiangnan in the TV, and I am here. The style is very much loved. Travel, it is really from the place you are tired of to the place where others are tired.
