Climbing stairs??? Why not climb the rice terraces!!! Stairs that are even higher than stairs.

The characteristics and scenery of the Hani Rice Terraces are mainly reflected in the following aspects: ### Characteristics of the Hani Rice Terraces 1. **Grand scale**: The Hani Rice Terraces are mainly distributed in Yuanyang County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. They are vast and undulating, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top, with magnificent momentum. 2. **Long history**: The Hani Rice Terraces have a history of more than 1,300 years. They are the result of generations of hard work by the Hani people, demonstrating the wisdom of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. 3. **Unique irrigation system**: The terraces adopt a unique "forest-village-terrace-water system" four-element isomorphic ecosystem, using mountain springs and rainwater for irrigation, which is scientific and reasonable. 4. **Ethnic culture**: The Hani Rice Terraces are not only an agricultural landscape, but also an important part of the Hani culture, reflecting the Hani people's farming culture, religious beliefs, and lifestyle. 5. **Different scenery in four seasons**: The terraces offer different scenery in four seasons: spring with water-filled fields, summer with lush greenery, autumn with golden fields, and winter with mirror-like reflections of the sky, all beautiful beyond compare. ### Scenery of the Hani Rice Terraces 1. **Sunrise and sunset**: At sunrise, the terraces glow with golden light under the sun; at sunset, the terraces complement the sunset glow, creating a magnificent view. 2. **Sea of clouds**: Under specific weather conditions, a sea of clouds will appear above the terraces, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. 3. **Terraced reflections**: The water surface of the terraces is like a mirror, reflecting the sky, clouds, and mountains, forming beautiful reflection landscapes. 4. **Village scenery**: Traditional Hani villages are scattered among the terraces, complementing each other and showing a picture of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. 5. **Farming scenes**: The figures of Hani farmers working in the terraces show the traditional farming culture and lifestyle. 6. **Flora and fauna**: The area around the terraces is rich in flora and fauna, with a good ecological environment, suitable for ecotourism and photography. 7. **Festival activities**: The Hani people have many traditional festivals, such as the "Long Street Banquet" and the "October Year". During the festivals, the terraced area is bustling with activity and full of ethnic customs. These characteristics and scenery make the Hani Rice Terraces a World Cultural Heritage site and a famous tourist destination, attracting countless tourists to visit and experience.
