Leaving Mengzi and the Mengzi crossing the bridge rice noodle that we have been thinking about, we went straight to the Hani rice terraces.
The Hani Terraced Fields in Yunnan is a world heritage site, with blue, golden, purple and multicolored terraced fields, which are too beautiful to behold.
The Hani Terraced Fields in Yunnan are widely distributed in Yuanyang County, Honghe County, Jinping County, and Lvchun County in Honghe Prefecture.
Because it was the first time to see the Hani Terraces, we chose the most famous Yuanyang County, and it may be the only Hani Terraces scenic spot that charges.
Fortunately, we saw terraced fields in almost all colors, colorful and colorful.
It is so beautiful!
This is the blue terrace.
The loess of the terraced fields is shining with golden light, the blue water reflects the color of the sky, and the lines of the ridges are elegant and tortuous, just like an oil painting, telling the vicissitudes of thousands of years.
These terraces are also the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients. The terraced fields are built along the mountains, with large fields reclaimed in gentle places and small fields reclaimed in steep places. When it rains, after the upper terraces are filled with water, it will flow into the lower terraces from top to bottom, irrigate layer by layer, and finally flow into the ground. The sun keeps evaporating water vapor, and when the water vapor meets the surrounding forests, it will form mist and rain, so the entire natural ecosystem is cyclical and endless.
Terraced fields are constantly changing at different times and under different light conditions.
When there are clouds in the sky, the terraced fields will also become gentle, as if covered with a thin veil, shy and charming.
Laoyingzui, the mountain road is steep and difficult to walk, and the road is narrow and curved, but because the famous colorful terraced fields are here, it is necessary to come here anyway.
Really worthwhile trip!
Layers of terraced fields, like an overturned palette, or oil paintings, are displayed in front of you one by one.
How to shoot, how beautiful!
What is beauty?
The beauty is that no matter what angle you take, no matter what camera you use, it is a beauty!
The Hani Terraced Fields are worthy of being a world heritage site, which is the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of the ancients!
It is really hard to imagine how long and how much labor the ancients took to develop millions of acres of terraced fields on such a steep mountain, which will be used by future generations.
There are almost no tourists in Eagle's Mouth, but we stayed for more than an hour before leaving reluctantly.
There are four paid scenic spots in Yuanyang Terraced Fields Scenic Area. When we went, Laohuzui Terraced Fields were closed due to landslides. Only Qingkou Folk Village, Duoyishu Terraced Fields and Bada Terraced Fields were open to the public. Generally, go to Duoyishu Terraced Fields to watch the sunrise, and Bada Terraced Fields to watch the sunset.
The terraced fields at sunrise are very, very beautiful.
Due to the change of light, the colors of the terraced fields are extremely rich.
I haven't seen the purple terraced fields on the Internet, but I didn't expect to take pictures of them!
Does this terrace look like a fake?
Typical oil painting style!
It's also one of my favorite photos.
Two years ago, the sunrise I photographed in Qinghai Lake showed green, orange, blue and purple rays of light!
So lucky!
This dark golden terraced field is also one of my favorite photos.
It's a bit like a foundation, but the gloss is very good, and the whole picture is very charming, and you will never get tired of it.
Duoyishu Terraced Fields opens late in the morning, and the parking lot is not allowed to be used. All vehicles can only be parked on the road outside. If you go late, there will be no parking spaces. Fortunately, we went very early, and there were no cars at that time, but the traffic jam was a mess when we left.
This self-driving in Yunnan lasted for three months. The biggest feeling is that the scenery in Yunnan is beautiful, and the history and humanities are also good. However, the ticket prices of many scenic spots are relatively high, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the management of scenic spots.
The sunset at the Bada Terraces is beautiful, but you need to be lucky. When the fog is thick or the clouds are thick, it is impossible to see the sunset. Moreover, the tickets for the scenic spot are only valid on the same day. If you want to take pictures of the sunset the next day, you need to find another place or buy tickets separately again.
On the day we went, it was very foggy and the clouds were very thick, so the photos were not ideal.
After comprehensively comparing all the photos, I think the red terraced field above is pretty good. I don’t know if you, who are reading the article, like it or not.
Coincidentally, the night we went there happened to be a full moon, so we took pictures of the rare moonlight terraces.
The bright moonlight pours on the mirror-like terraced fields, quiet and serene.
No matter how complicated the heart is, looking at this beautiful scenery, it can calm down instantly, and then slowly stretch and relax.
It is said that there will be frequent power outages here, and we were lucky to meet them. There was no call until we left.
So on the third day of the Hani Terraces, very few photos were taken because neither the camera battery nor the drone battery could be charged.
From entering the scenic spot on the first day to leaving on the third day, we were lucky to take pictures of the various beauties of the Hani Terraces.
The sparkling golden water surface brings another kind of physical and mental pleasure.
Goodbye, Hani Rice Terraces!
I hope your beauty can continue to last for thousands of years!
