    Overall, it's good. It's well-maintained, and the area is quite large, so you can walk around and explore. It's very reasonable that it's free. The electric carts don't cover much distance, so if you don't want to spend money, you can hike up the mountain yourself.

    Yuanyang Hani Terraces, Yunnan: The epic and natural wonders of agricultural engraving on the earth as a world cultural heritage and an important agricultural cultural heritage in the world. Yuanyang Hani Terraces have become photography and the ecological system of "four-vegetarian isomorphism" with the wisdom of farming in 1300 years, 170,000 mu of magnificent terraces and "four-vegetarian isomorphism". Hiking and cultural pilgrim's paradise. The following comments are made from three dimensions: 1. Core landscape: The perfect symphony of nature and artificial Yuanyang terraces is the shock of its geographical wisdom of "mountain-like". From the Malizhai River at 800 meters above sea level to the top of the 2000 meters high mountain, more than 3,700 terraced fields such as sky ladders go straight up to the clouds, and the extreme terrain with slopes of 15° to 75° has been domesticated by the Hani people as "earth color palettes". • Duoyishu Terraces: Famous for "the sunrise and the sea of clouds", the morning sunrise penetrates the mist, the golden terraces and the mushroom room intertwined like prints, and are known by photographers as "the most dreamy place in the world." • Bada Terraces: The 3,000-level terraces have a scale line and three-dimensional level, showing the ecological miracle of "water does not go down the mountain, soil does not leave the field" at sunset, and the sea of clouds is like a dragon. • Tiger-mouth Terraces: The terraces in the deep valley are blooming like flowers, and 6,000 mu of terraces change colors in the cloudy and sunny. The sunny days are blue, cloudy days are gray, and golden in the morning and evening. It can be called "colored terraces". 2. Cultural value: Yuanyang terraces, the living heritage of agricultural civilization, are not only landscapes, but also empirical evidence of the four-vegetarian isomorphic ecosystem of Hani "forest-village-terrace-water system". • Irrigation Wisdom: The Hani "woodcut water distribution" system distributes water with a precise scale, "ditch people" maintains ditches, and "hydro-flush fertilizer" becomes wastewater as nutrients, forming an ecological closed loop without large-scale water conservancy facilities. • Farming rhythm: The terraced red rice is produced every year, following the four-season production tune of "Hani Ancient Song", spring ploughing and autumn harvest, Hani Changjie Banquet, mushroom room, costume culture and other folk customs constitute a complete cultural map. • World Heritage status: In 2013, it was included in the World Heritage List and in 2025 was selected as the candidate list of World Irrigation Engineering Heritage China. Its concept of "conforming to the mountain and efficient water" provides a model for modern ecological agriculture. 3. Travel experience: The travel value of the immersive nature and humanities trip to Yuanyang terraces lies in the experience of "all-weather, multi-dimensional": • Viewing strategy: • Sunrise: Duoyishu Observation Deck needs to arrive before 5 o'clock, the roadside hillside can accommodate thousands of people, and the C position can take pictures of the sea of clouds and terraces. • Sunset: The three-dimensional light and shadow of the 3700-level terraced fields in Bada Terraced Fields and the deep valley color of the Tiger Mouth Terraced Fields constitute different visual shock. • Hiking: Deeply into the paths of the terraced fields, feel the farming culture, and take pictures of the pastoral pictures with a unique perspective. • Accommodation recommendation: Duoyishu Observation Deck surrounding homestays such as Yunluo Inn, the viewing room can lie down and watch the sunrise, cost-effective; Shengcun and Xinjie Town provide more accommodation options. • Food map: Haniyu water chicken, terraced red rice noodles, bamboo rice, pineapple rice, etc., combined

    The night shrouded, the Chaoyang Gate of Jianshui Ancient City was gently wrapped by warm yellow lights, and it seemed to cross back hundreds of years ago. This city gate with a history of more than 630 years, also known as "Little Tiananmen", the structure of the triple Yuxie Peak makes it "a layer higher" than Tiananmen, and the four big words "Southeast of Xiongzhen" on the upper floor of the city are strong and powerful. Under the city gate, locals and tourists are intertwined, some people take a leisurely walk, some people stop to take pictures. The square on the side is lively, the national dance is happy, the cultural documentary film projection by laser is played on the city wall, the light and shadow are interlaced, and the ancient and modern are wonderfully integrated here.

    The scenery along the way wasn't great, especially on the road from the first stop, which was mostly residential buildings and a bit distracting. It improved a lot later on, and each stop was worth seeing. Overall, the photos turned out better than the experience itself.

    Jianshui Temple, from the Confucius Confucian cultural thought inheritance, Jianshui Temple is one of the three largest Confucian Temples in China (and two are Shandong and Beijing), so the Confucian culture here has great significance and relatively large impact on the local area. Only from the construction of the Confucian Temple here has a considerable construction scale and perfect architectural style, here you can see the solemn Confucius culture publicity and some activity scenes. There are also many places to visit and study here, including Confucius's disciples, etc. There are different degrees of display. In the cultural square, you can also see a lot of inscriptions about learning Confucian culture. If you come to construction, this is a place worth visiting and learning.

    I go once a year from the end of June to the middle of July. Every time I go, I feel different. Bring my lover and partner, drift on the crystal clear lake and shuttle among the flowers. Enjoy the most beautiful lotus flowers and take the most beautiful photos.

    Took a taxi straight from the train station, easy to find. Although the tours are only in Chinese there's an introductory video with English subtitles to explain the vineyards. Was so interesting to see the cellars and learn about the unusual grape varietals. Small tasting, but huge shop with all their wines, and even Chinese grappa. We bought a bottle and spent the afternoon on the balcony overlooking the vineyards and mountains. It was cold and cloudy, but totally worth it!

    Good for photo op esp the Kaleidoscope Museum where the bricked amphora-like shaped buildings are. Go around 1pm- - 2pm less crowd as they dispersed for lunch or other activities provided by their tour group.
