The Honghe Hani Rice Terraces in China are a stunning example of ancient agricultural ingenuity and natural beauty. Located in the Yuanyang County of Yunnan Province, these terraces have been cultivated for over 1,300 years by the Hani people. The terraces cascade down the slopes of the Ailao Mountains, covering over 16,603 hectares. They are renowned for their unique irrigation system that captures and conserves water from the surrounding forests. The landscape transforms through the seasons, with flooded terraces reflecting the sky in the winter and vibrant green fields in the spring and summer.
