Introduction

This exquisitely carved and historically rich mountain range has a history of about 1200 years. It is magnificent and spectacular, and is a precious heritage passed down from generation to generation by the Hani people, thus it is also known as one of the "most beautiful mountain carving in China". Yuanyang Hani Rice Terraces consists of four major scenic areas: Bada Scenic Area, Tiger Mouth Scenic Area, Duoyishu Scenic Area and Jingkou Scenic Area, each with its own unique charm. In addition to admiring the magnificent sunrise and sunset, tourists can also appreciate the unique charm of Hani villages. Among them, what makes Duoyishu Rice Terraces so special is its golden cloud. Due to its frequent foggy weather, the sunrise will present a brilliant spectacle of aurora, and this beauty will cast a series of beautiful lights on the rice terraces, enriching the visual feast of photography enthusiasts.
