Bazhe Terraces are located in Bazhe Village, Renzhuang Township, 8 kilometers from the township government, 35 kilometers from the county seat, and 8 kilometers from the China-Vietnam border. The terraces cover over 1,000 acres and stretch for several kilometers, offering different views from various angles.
Although there is a ticket office at the entrance of the Bazhe Terraces scenic area, it is clearly not in operation, and there are no staff around, so you can enter without paying. We suspect that it is no longer maintained, especially when you find one of the walking paths covered in weeds halfway through. We abandoned the idea of forging ahead and decided to stick to the road.
Perhaps it was a fortunate mistake, as walking along the road allowed us to take in a panoramic view of the terraces. Along the way, there were not many tourists, and the serene environment highlighted the vast and magnificent terrace scenery, making it exceptionally beautiful. Due to the recent rain, entering the terrace area felt like stepping in mud. If you don't want to dirty your shoes, you can wear shoe covers or shoes that are easy to clean.
Compared to the famous Longsheng Terraces in Guilin or the Yuanyang Terraces in Yunnan, the unique feature of Bazhe Terraces is the karst terrain in the distance. Cone-shaped hills stand in the background, adding layers of misty depth to the stepped terraces.
