|Terraces, ancient villages, markets, the most comprehensive guide is here! ! .
During my lifetime

This is the terraced cultural landscape listed in the World Heritage List.

This long journey
It contains the most surprises, disappointments, and unpredictability.
But it will definitely let you
Unheard of, unforgettable
Borrowing from the words of fellow hikers in Duoyishu:
Why come out without suffering?
If you can get this
Don't hesitate
Let's go
one
Best time:
Watering period: December to March is the best time for photography and light and shadow blockbusters
Seedling stage: April to August, green fields, fishing
Harvest season: September to November, great harvest scenery, golden rice fields
Don't Miss:
Sunrise and sunset, Azheke Village, Niujiaozhai market
Sunrise - Duoyishu, Azheke
Sunset - Dawazha, Bada, Tiger Mouth
Must-try food:
Hani chicken with dipping sauce, fried bacon, seasonal wild vegetables
Recommended restaurants:
Duoyishu-Hani Fire Pond, Field Flavor
Azheke-Rice Garden Fragrance, Yuanshe Fireside Coffee
Hani Town-An Yi Inn
P.S.: The food is pretty good overall. If the road is inconvenient, just go to the nearest place;
An Yi Inn is highly recommended. It is located on the roadside of Hani Terraces Museum. It is delicious and cost-effective. The average price per person is 30-50 yuan.
Recommended accommodation:
Yunzhimeng Hotel-near Xinjie Town and Hani Town, complete facilities
Good, 300+ nights
Azhekeyuanshe - taking into account both landscape and accommodation experience, 700+ room nights
Huawowo No. 2 Hotel - next to the Duoyi Tree, there is a small yard to watch the sunrise. The accommodation conditions are not very good, but it is the first choice for sunrise hotels in terms of cost performance, 300+ nights
Money saving tips:
If you are not making this trip specifically for photography, you don’t need to buy tickets to the observation deck! !
Book a hotel with a view to watch the sunrise; go to Dawazha to watch the sunset, the view is as good as the toll station; plus the free small viewing platforms along the way, Azheke and Ai Village, the terraced field view is enough
other:
Tickets: 70 yuan for the combined ticket, including Duoyishu, Bada, Laohuzui, etc.
Kou Folk Village; Ai Village roadside is free, lower terraces are 5 yuan; Azheke is 30 yuan. The transportation is inconvenient and the scenic spots cannot be reached on foot. It is recommended that experienced drivers drive by themselves
Accommodation conditions are incomparable to other places of the same price, reasonable expectations
Don’t overbook your trip. The beautiful sunrise and sunset depend on your luck. Try to leave one more day to avoid regrets.
Museum lovers should not miss the terraced field museum in Hani Town.
The museum is free and small, giving you an in-depth understanding of Hani terraced fields culture.
Avoid the Spring Festival and National Day holidays. The roads are narrow and prone to traffic jams. It costs a lot and the experience is poor.
·The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so a jacket is a must for watching the sunrise and sunset
· It is also good to visit during festivals and experience the long street banquet. The larger ones include: Zaza Festival in June (from April to June of the lunar calendar), Zatler Festival in October (the first dragon day in October of the lunar calendar)
