Yuanyang is just over 100 km away from Jianshui and is a small Town surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The small village does not in itself deserve displacement in the south. But rice fields alone are worth dozens of hours of bus! Reputed to be the most beautiful in China, Yuanyang rice fields are located less than 10 km from the small village. The show is great! This huge staircase draws on the steep terrain, the shimmering water under sunlight and the first shoots point their nose when spring arrives. The landscape seems to have been sculpted as magically. The Yuanyang region is marked by the strong presence of the Hani minority. The story tells us that they were the top rice farmers in the region, and they have to have the beautiful rice paddy on Yuanyang terrace. Over time, Hani has become true specialists in irrigation. They developed ingenious methods of removing excess water or maintaining it in the event of drought. Rice harvesting takes place at the fall of the fall. All the villagers are then mobilized. There are about 1,25 million Hani in China, and they are mostly installed in villages in southern Yunnan. For those who want to discover a genuine, traditional Hani village, you can go to Qinkou (about 7 km from Yuanyang).
