I. Introduction
In Yuanyang Hani Terraced Fields in December, when there are few clouds and mist, it is difficult to see the beautiful and mysterious fairyland, but as long as it is sunny, the scenery of the terraced fields is still very beautiful, and there will be fewer tourists at this time than in February. Avoid the crowds.
Bonding in the car
On the car heading to Yuanyang New Street in Jianshui, on my left is Mr. Jiang from Shenzhen. This is his second visit to Yuanyang Terraced Fields. He is very enthusiastic, talkative and likes to take pictures. When he knew that I wanted to live in Xinjie Town, he strongly persuaded me to live in Shengcun. He listed a bunch of benefits, one of which was exactly what I wanted: it’s closer to scenic spots, and watching the sunrise and sunset is not so hard. Can take a nap. I decided to live with him in Shengcun Terraced Field Photography Inn. In the car, we also agreed to charter the car with an 80-year-old couple in the front seat. This old man, who is 10 years older than me, walks better than me.
The innkeeper was very honest, and through his introduction, we bought a 7-seater car for 500 yuan a day and a half.
2. Laoyingzui Terraced Fields
We can’t go to Laohuzui for road construction. The driver suggested that we go to Laoyingzui to watch the sunset, and we agreed.
Laoyingzui Terraced Fields is an unnamed scenic spot in the Yuanyang Hani Terraced Fields Scenic Area. It is a scenic spot without a viewing platform. Tourists can only watch it on the side of the road or on the hillside.
Some of the Laoyingzui terraces have maroon algae on the water surface, so they are called red terraces, while other terraces have no algae and appear blue during the day, so I think they should be called colorful terraces. It's also a good place to watch the sunset, when the terraced fields here are more vivid and colorful.
3. Duoyishu terraced fields
The Duoyishu Terraced Fields are just below Duoyishu Village, and there is a shuttle bus from Xinjie Town to Duoyishu.
Before dawn at 6:30 in the morning, we got up early and rushed to the viewing platform of Duoyishu Terraced Fields without breakfast. There is a need for ticket verification, and those who are 70 years old and above can enter after verification of ID card. Entering the viewing platform, the front rafters are full of guns and short guns, and we are still late.
Duoyishu Terraced Fields is an excellent place to watch the sunrise and the scenery of the terraced fields. The golden light of the sunrise and the unpredictable fire clouds are reflected on the water surface of the terraced fields, making the terraced fields look so magical and beautiful. There were few fire clouds this morning, and there were only a few golden corners of the large terraced fields, but it was much more beautiful to have them added to the terraced fields.
4. Aichunlan Terraced Fields
Aichunlan Terraced Fields is near Duoyishu, also known as Blue Terraced Fields. It takes a few minutes to drive from Duoyishu, and there is no viewing platform here, so you can only watch it on the side of the road. We arrived at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the terraced fields in front of us were indeed very lovely in blue.
It is possible to go to the bottom of the terraced fields here. There are people on the side of the field who collect money, 5 yuan per person. I paid it to get close to the blue terraced fields. But just after walking more than ten meters, when I thought of another piece of land, another child came and charged 5 yuan, saying that this piece of land belonged to his family. , we have to give up. Seriously, if this phenomenon continues, it will ruin this scenic spot, and who will come to collect money like this repeatedly?
5. Bada Terraced Fields
The east side of Bada terraced fields is a scenic spot for shooting the sunset. Every evening, when the sun sets and the sky is full of red clouds, it is a good place to watch the sunset, Hani terraced fields, sea of clouds and villages. This is also a scenic spot that requires ticket inspection.
On the evening of the day we arrived, there were no red clouds in the sky, only a few unpredictable fire clouds, which made the terraced fields infinitely varied.
6. Azheke Ancient Village
When we went to Aichunlan Rice Terraces, we went to Azheke Village nearby. The village is very primitive, and there are still brick and thatched houses. Now there are Hani people building new houses, and they also build brick and thatched houses according to the ancient tradition. The village has no access to cars, and it is about 1 kilometer away from the road. The construction materials are all carried by horses and camels. It is really hard work, and the village is indeed primitive. Compared with Qingkou Hani Ethnic Village, Azheke Village is the original Hani Ancient Village. I believe that more tourists who go to Yuanyang Rice Terraces will choose Azheke Hani Ancient Village.
