Strange colorful terraced fields in Yunnan

An Italian photographer captured beautiful moments of terraced fields of Ha Nhi people, Yunnan province, China.

This area has a history of up to 1,200 years.The central region of the terraces is located in Yuanyang, Yunnan Province, China.This area has 1 million hectares and 16,600 hectares that have been recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site.

Terraced fields are extremely spectacular cultural landscapes at the steep slopes of the towering Lao Son Ai and the rugged deep pools of the Red River.In the past 1,300 years, Hani people have developed a complex system of channels to bring water from the summit to terraced fields.They have also created an integrated farming system, raising buffaloes, cows, ducks, fish, eels and producing the region's main red rice, major crop.

People worship the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, forests and other natural phenomena.They live in 82 villages located between mountains and terraces.The land management system of terraced fields represents a special harmony between people and the natural environment, both visually and ecologically, based on special and long-term social and religious structures.

There is usually one crop here in the year, starting in April and harvesting in September. At the end of the harvest, from mid-September to November, the fields are always full of water until the next transplanting season.The fields of water in the fields form multidimensional, transparent mirrors when viewed from above.

Photographers are enchanted by terraced fields, every season has many people wander to the distance to Nguyen Duong, explore the best shooting angles.

From early dreams to night, every moment see the field bearing another beauty.

The ideal time that tourists should take a terraced field is 30 minutes before sunset.At that time, the water surface glimmered on the fields like a mirror reflecting the miraculous colors of the sky.The sunset of the sky reflecting on the flooded fields creates a vivid and majestic nature picture.

Nguyen Duong rice fields are considered to be the main area of ​​the Ha Nhi delta because this area is very rough, with about 3,000 steps carved into slopes of 15 to 75 degrees.
