[China] World Heritage Yuanyang Rice Terraces! A spectacular 5,000-step rice terrace

One of China's proud World Heritage sites, the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, built over 1,300 years by the Hani ethnic minority group of Yuanyang County, Yunnan Province, are also known as the "Yuanyang Rice Terraces." These rice terraces, said to have 5,000 steps, are also called the "Cloud Ladder" because they look like a ladder reaching to the sky. Because they are built at an altitude of 1,500 to 2,000 meters, sea of ​​clouds and fog are particularly likely to occur in the mornings and evenings. This is a sacred place that captivates photographers from all over the world. The best season is from February to early April. The rice fields, large and small, spread out like a spider's web, create a scene that looks like a water mirror and ink drops. The morning sun gradually shines on the terrace, and the sea of ​​clouds rolls along, creating a breathtaking world of ink painting. During the season, the observation deck is crowded with tourists from all over the country and the world. You have to get there early in the morning to get the best spot, otherwise you'll have to fight for it. The view points are: ・Duoyishu Rice Terraces ・Bada Rice Terraces ・Laohuzui Rice Terraces They're a little far apart, so it's common to charter a taxi. The scale of the terraces is simply amazing, and they're unparalleled. #Let's go to China #China #Yunnan #Amazing view #Rice terraces
