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.
Clouds enveloping the hills on which the terraces were crafted by the admirable Hani would provide a dramatic background to the centuries-old man-made natural setting. As the day was drawing to a close, we moved to the Tiger Mouth fields. On the way, we had a walk on the rim of several rice terrace fields, which heightened our appreciation and admiration of the Hani people who built these terraced fields over the last 13 centuries. Located in an area roughly between 1000 and 2000 metres high, Yuanyang rice terraces are built on the slopes of mountains in the valleys of a southern region of Yunnan province. Not only were the Hani masters at building rice terraces in a difficult terrain, they also managed to build an irrigation system that allows the manipulation of water as needed. Looking down at the valley, as the sun was setting over a mountain ridge at the horizon, the late afternoon sunlight was reflected in rice terraces that seemed to stretch to the end of the valley. The Yuanyang rice terraces are so beautifully constructed and blend in so well with the landscape, that it seems as if these lands have always looked this way. Yet of course this is not the case: this is an example where human hands have forever changed the landscape on a grand scale.
