Today we visited the rice terraces which surround Yuanyang. The local Hani people have been cultivating rice this way for over 1300 years. The largest terrace has over 3700 levels and stretches for something like 6000 vertical feet. The rice harvest is done, and many of the paddies have been flooded in preparation for the next planting. This photo shows just a tiny portion of the mind-bogglingly enormous landscape.
