📸 Photo Hotspots Collection
✅ Jiǔqū Yunhuan
The sunrise here is absolutely breathtaking!! The rice paddies are neat and tidy, sunlight makes them look like they're gilded✨ Recommend bringing a drone for amazing shots in no time!
✅ Kenggen Stone Village
A 600-year-old stone village, with babbling streams and swaying bamboo sea. Sitting in front of an old house drinking tea is so atmospheric~ You can also buy bamboo tube rice made by villagers!
✅ Qixing Dun
The highest viewing platform! Recommended to visit "Cloudside Café" to enjoy coffee while admiring the terraces, taking photos on the swing is amazing~
✨ Exclusive Tips
1️⃣ Sunrise depends on luck! Recommend the morning after rain clears on the first day, June is the best viewing period! Be at the viewing platform before 5:30 AM!
2️⃣ Highly recommend staying at "Straw Meets Building Blocks"! The rooms are full of fairy tale vibes, only a 3-minute walk to the cableway~ The host also provides terrace maps and breakfast!
3️⃣ Outfit suggestion: light colors + straw hat, bring sunscreen! July-August when the rice is lush green is the most photogenic~
Quickly save this guide and come check in at these popular terraced fields!🍃
