General presentation
Rizières en terrasses de Yuanyang
Thousands of hani terraces descend from the sommital forests to the warm valleys of southeastern Yunnan.
The discovery of the Yuanyang terraced Ricers is built around the Duoyishu Terraces, the Bada Terraces and the Hani Villages of Yuanyang. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, mountain reliefs, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
