Yuanyang Rice Terrace is a self sustaining
ecosystem. During winter to early spring, the entire field is irrigated
with spring water from the forest above to rejuvenate and getting
prepared for the next season. The Hani people have repeated this for more
than a thousand years. There is only one harvest in a year for the
Yuanyang Rice Terrace; planting is from March to Oct./Nov. every
year.
Yuanyang Rive Terrace is a perfect example of
SYMBIOSIS with nature. The water evaporate from the rice terrace to form
cloud, the rain is collected and trapped by the forest on the
mountains, the spring water flow down to the rice terrace and the whole
cycle repeats itself perpetually.
Although not many general tourists have visited the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, hordes of photographers have. The landscape changes vividly through the year. The flooded paddies from Dec. to April creates reflecting pool effect, which is a photographer's dream. In summer, the paddies are luxuriantly green with growing rice stalks. After the fall harvest, the paddies become naked bare earth.
Best time to go
With a subtropical climate, a visit to Yuanyang Rice Terraces anytime during the year is possible, though November to April will allow you to catch the terrace fields at their prettiest.
Things to do
Enjoy the spectacular sunrise and sunset over the irrigated rice terraces in winter, but it really depends on the weather condition. It's great to have fog in the morning and cloud at dusk in a sunny day
