For over 1,300 years, the Hani people in Southwest China have been plowing their rice terraces that cascade down the lush hillsides and shape a spectacular rice-paddy terracing view.
The wonder of the terraced fields in Yuanyang county of Yunnan province made it onto the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2013.
The agricultural heritage was created by the local Hani, an ethnic group mostly inhabits the area across the Ailao Mountains.
Locals built a channel system to direct water from the forested hilltop to nurture paddies on mountain slopes. Tourists flood to the site for the breathtaking vista every winter. It is the season when the sky reflects in the flooded fields.
