I stayed in Yuanyang for two days, just to witness the beauty of the terraced fields

When the terraced fields are filled with water, the surface reflects the colors of the sky, as if a mosaic was laid upon the earth. So this trip was to see the terraced fields in Yuanyang, Yunnan, with a plan to stay in Yuanyang for two days. The 1st day: Watch the sunset at Bada🌇 The 2nd day: Watch the sunrise at Duoyishu🌄—Love Spring Blue—Azheke Village—Watch the sunset at Tiger Mouth🌇 The 3rd day: Watch the sunrise at Qingkou🌄 ⭕️You need to buy a ticket🎫 to enter the viewing platform, 💰65 yuan/3 days. ⭕️To see the sunrise at Duoyishu🌄, I stayed at a guesthouse next to Duoyishu on the first day, and then moved to the Yuanyang Yuanshe Mulaya Guesthouse in Hani Town👉 (there is a viewing platform in the small town nearby, and Qingkou viewing platform is less than 1 kilometer away). ⭕️The sunrise is at 7:20 am, and the viewing platform opens at 6 am. It's still a bit chilly in the early morning, so pay attention to ⚠️keeping warm. The sunset is around 7 pm, and it's important to ⚠️go early to get a good spot, as some people start to take positions as early as 3 or 4 pm. ⭕️There are 3 small viewing platforms in Bada, Duoyishu's is relatively large, and Tiger Mouth's is also big. ⭕️During the two days I stayed, there was always heavy fog🌁 on the mountain, and I only saw a little bit of sunset🌇 at Tiger Mouth. ⭕️I didn't see the sunrise at Duoyishu on the second day🌄, and thought that Love Spring Blue, which is at a higher altitude, would be better, but it was still heavy fog🌁. ⭕️Azheke Village is an ancient village inhabited by the Hani people, and you need to buy a ticket💰30 yuan/piece🎫 to enter the village. It was not as primitive as I imagined, quite disappointing. ⭕️There was heavy fog🌁 that day, visibility was poor, and I didn't see many villagers, mostly tourists. ⭕️Although there is only one road in the mountains, the mountain roads are mostly hairpin turns, and with the heavy fog🌁, the fastest speed is only 30km/h. ⚠️I couldn't find a gas station⛽️ on the mountain, and didn't see one for a long distance down the mountain either, so if you are driving🚗 into the mountains, remember to fill up on gas in advance. I finally understand why 🌈Yunnan is rich in mushrooms🍄, if I stayed a few more days, I might start growing mushrooms too. ⚠️Remember to bring more snacks before going up the mountain, although there are some on the mountain, the choices are limited.
