Why the
Yuan Yang Rice Terraces
are special
Not only are the Yuan Yang rice terraces among the world's largest and most spectacular rice terraces, they are the least known among them, which keeps the tourist count low. You get an extra sense of adventure when you are there.

Visitors
Although few general tourists have visited the Yuan Yang rice terraces, many photographers have because of the thrilling beauty of the landscape.
Seasonal
The landscape changes vividly through the year.
Winter
and early spring
The paddies are flooded. This creates the reflecting pool effect, a
photographer's dream (see photo).
In
the summer
The paddies are luxuriantly green with growing rice
stalks.
After
the fall harvest
The paddies become naked bare earth.
Hike
carefully
The steep rice terrace paths can be quite slippery. Wear appropriate shoes or boots.
