Tucked away in southwestern Yunnan province, the Yuanyang Rice Terraces are an amazing display of the Hani people's cleverness. They've been working on this beautiful land for over 1,300 years. These terraces, covering more than 160 square kilometers, go down the slopes of the grand Ailao Mountains all the way to the banks of the Hong River, making one of the most awesome views on the planet.

From January to February, when it's irrigation time, the terraces turn into a really colorful scene, like a spilled box of paints. As the sun moves during the day, you get a different view every moment. At this time, the terraces reflect the sky, and that's why they're called the'mirror of the sky', which makes the place even more romantic.

With their amazing colors, unique shapes, and strong 3D look, the Yuanyang Rice Terraces have become a dream place for tourists and photographers. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets here are not to be missed. They give you such great pictures that you'll fill your camera with unforgettable memories.
