Yuan Yang
Located in Southern Yunnan, Yuan Yang is known for its Honghe Hani Rice Terraces, which was awarded the UNESCO World Cultural Site in 2013. The artistic masterpiece by the Hani ethnic tribe stretch for acres in a picture of alluring beauty.
Embark on scenic hikes along the Yuan Yang Rice Terraces or visit the local markets and villages, immersing into the Hani Culture. The best time to photograph the rugged terrace slopes of Yuan Yang is after the Autumn harvest in November and the rice paddies are filled with water that reflect the changing colours of the sky.
