Weekend Self-Drive Two-Day Tour Guide to Yuanyang Rice Terraces
The Hani Rice Terraces are a spectacle of terraces created over 1300 years by the Hani people and other ethnic groups, utilizing special geographical conditions, and the Yuanyang Rice Terraces are the core scenic area of the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces.
The most "practical" guide
🌾 Yuanyang Rice Terraces 'contract' the high mountains and deep valleys of the Ailao Mountains, and it is recommended to visit for 2-3 days, with self-driving being the most convenient.
🌾 The best viewing area for the terraces is from November to April of the following year, because of the water season; starting from April, the transplanting period is not as picturesque.
🌾 The terraces are most beautiful at sunrise and sunset, and during the day, most of the terraces are not very attractive.
🌾 There are three areas in the Yuanyang Rice Terraces scenic area: Bada, Tiger Mouth, and Duoyishu, but there are four areas in terms of distance:
Jingkou Hani Town is very close to the entrance of the scenic area, the terraces are not large, but you can watch the sunrise, and the colors are rich during the day. The Hani town has a better environment for food and lodging.
Bada scenic area is large, and the sunset is more beautiful, but it is difficult to appreciate during the day. There is a coffee shop on the No. 2 viewing platform, which opens after 12 o'clock.
Tiger Mouth scenic area has two viewing platforms, upper and lower, with beautiful scenery at the bottom, but it is very tiring to go up and down. You can spend 10 yuan to enter the local people's terraces, which are not crowded and have a good position. There is a coffee shop halfway up the mountain, which opens in the afternoon.
Duoyishu scenic area has the most beautiful sunrise and also beautiful colors during the day, a must-visit!! The scenic area also includes Aichun, Dawazhe, and other roadside more primitive terraces, which are generally ordinary. Dawazhe is also a place to watch the sunset, with an open space beside the mountain road, no fences, and a lot of garbage.
🌾 The most worthwhile village to visit in the scenic area is the ancient Hani village of Azheke, which requires an additional ticket, 30 yuan/adult.
🌾 The best hotel to watch the sunrise is the Duoyishu Mid-Mountain Resort Hotel, which is located on the viewing platform and has its own viewing platform, but it is pricey and hard to book. Alternatively, you can choose the same owner's Yunshang Mid-Mountain Resort Hotel, located at the entrance of the scenic area, and for an additional 20 yuan, you can go to Duoyishu Mid-Mountain for breakfast. Both hotels offer free tickets to the rice terraces scenic area.
Tickets: 70 yuan/adult (multiple entries to various terraces scenic areas within 72 hours)
🌾 Around 6:30 on weekends, Duoyishu is not yet congested, but the nearby mountain roads are narrow and there is always roadside parking, which may cause congestion.
🌾 The best spot in Duoyishu is a matter of opinion, but the place with three layers inside and three layers outside in the old mage should be the best. However, I personally think the hotel side has a good position.
🌾 The free parking lots in each scenic area are not large, and if you park on the villagers' land, you may be charged 10-20 yuan.
🌾 Fire pit chicken (the kind cooked around a stove), dipping chicken, roasted tofu, and various wild vegetables all taste pretty good.
Tickets are good value for money, it includes Lukou Terraces, Tiger-zui Terraces, Bada Terraces, Duoyishu Terraces, Aichun Blue Terraces, etc. You can enter and exit the terraces many times within seven days. Suitable for self-driving tours or chartered cars.
World cultural heritage, the overall cultural value is very high, it is worth seeing. It's just too many people. The sun and sunset visit places can't be crowded. Especially the ancient village of Zhekezhe, it is like a fairyland.
In the evening, Bada watched the sunset, in the morning, and went to the tiger mouth to watch the sunrise. You can't miss the Hani terraces in Yuanyang, Yunnan, and you can't miss it. The good attractions are circled, and choose a location on the observation deck to view the powerful human beings. Praise.
Hani Terraces are one of the world's three terraces (Banavee Terraces in the Philippines and Lavo Terraces in Switzerland), which were listed on the World Heritage List in 2013. Four fee attractions: Tiger mouth, Duoyishu, Bada, and Sapporo, tickets ¥70, valid for three days. Qikou: You can go directly to the terraces, and you can take pictures of the blue terraces after 5 o'clock. It belongs to the characteristic model village. Hani's flavor is weaker. The mushroom houses have been rebuilt. There is a museum in Zhaizhong Square to display Hani culture. The time is not enough to ignore. Azheke Village: One of the few villages that retain Hani mushroom houses, you can see a large terraces in the village. The village is not big for more than 10 minutes to walk to the tiger mouth to watch the sunset: 17:45-18:00, try to arrive at 4 o'clock, you need to occupy a place: It takes more than 10 minutes from the ticket gate to the observation deck, and the bottom position is the best. The weather is not good and you can shoot a blockbuster. The observation deck is not big. You need to occupy the space in advance. ps: Dawasha is also a good place to watch the sunset, and it is free.

Great, it is a world heritage, it is recommended that one day is enough, you can go to the imported visitor center and the Bada Observation Deck. There is no need to go to the Azheke Village, such as Sun Yat-sen University Deceive Village and Tiger Mouth, which requires a lot of time on the road and a very tired observation deck that needs to climb the mountain.
It is good to spend money. The attractions for tickets are indeed worth coming. The terraces seen by each viewing platform are different, each with its own beauty, which is very shocking. Still have to enjoy it with the naked eye.
When I arrived at the terraces, it was evening. I went to Bada to watch the sunset, but the clouds were too thick and the sunset was not seen. The terraces were still very beautiful, and a large area of terraces with a large gap in height and low. The next morning, I watched the sunrise in Duoyishu. It was wonderful. Watching the sun rising from the east mountain peak, I felt that the world was beautiful! The terraces on the side of Duoyishu are very concentrated and easy to produce films. On the way down the mountain, I also saw the terraces in Lukou Village. Under the sun, the blue sky reflected in the paddy fields, Meilun Meilun!
