Yuanyang County, Agricultural county in Honghe Prefecture, China
Located in southeastern Yunnan Province, Yuanyang County contains more than 17,000 hectares of rice terraces built into mountain slopes between 140 and 2939 meters elevation.
The Hani ethnic group established the region over 1300 years ago, engineering an intricate system of water channels from mountain forests to sustain agricultural production.
The October New Year and June Festival celebrations feature communal banquets where Hani people gather in traditional clothing to share local specialties and customs.
Travelers reach Yuanyang County via a six-hour car journey or seven-hour bus ride from Kunming, covering a distance of 320 kilometers through mountainous terrain.
The Duoyishu Rice Terraces reflect morning light across thousands of water-filled agricultural steps, while Bada presents 3700 distinct terrace levels for sunset viewing.
