Introduction

The Bada Scenic Area includes the areas of Jingkou, Quanfuzhuang, Malizhai, Zhulu, etc., covering a total area of more than 14,000 acres and featuring vast terraced landscapes. Viewing the terraced fields from Malizhai Tea Factory, nearly 10,000 acres of terraces are like a huge sloping sea, sparkling and stunning. After 4 pm every day, the white sloping sea gradually changes color as the sun sets, becoming pink, red, then pink and white, making it the best place to appreciate and record the changes of terraced fields at different times. The sunset scenery of Bada has an unforgettable stunning effect, making it the best place to watch the sunset. As the terraced fields in Bada face west, it is a sunset viewing spot. When the sun sets in the evening and the sky is filled with red clouds, it is called the "evening glow of the sunset", providing photographers with unique shooting opportunities.
