Crafted over many centuries by the Hani people, their rice terraces are spectacularly defining the landscape of the southern Yunnan province and make for an amazing sight.
Once I managed, the spectacle unfolding below was nothing less than breathtaking. While on the other side of the valley the darkness of the sky was being chased away by a whitish-pinkish light that slowly was turning into orange, below us the thick clouds were sometimes moved away by an invisible hand, thus allowing a view over the slopes of the hills, completely covered by rice terraces neatly carved out of the terrain. At first, I did not know where to look: all rice terraces had different shapes, and since all were filled to the brim with water, the perfectly still water pools mirrored the brightening light of the skies above in a different way. I stood there, mesmerized, as the scene below me was constantly changing. Now, there would be a clear view over the terraced fields, with even a slight reflection of the trees lining the fields in some of the pools and a pink-orange light shimmering in its shallow waters. The next moment, the invisible hand would draw the curtain again, clouds would be pushed up, covering up all the fields below and blocking our view. I found the moments in between the most amazing.
