Fengyan Ancient Terraces are known as the living fossils of the farming era, dating back 250 years, and are most beautiful in spring and autumn

The ancient terraces of the Qing Dynasty in Fengyan, Ankang, have a large area of rapeseed flowers. Every spring, the crisscrossing layers of rapeseed flower sea attract many people to come and watch. This spring, I drove here early in the morning, braving the drizzle from Hanyin to the Fengyan Ancient Terraces in Xuanwo Town, located in the Qinba Mountain area, to watch the ancient terraces built by the Wu family from Shanhua County, Changsha Prefecture, Hunan, who moved there during the Qianlong period, which have a history of 250 years. Fengyan Ancient Terraces are different from the Longji Terraces in Guangxi. They are hidden in the deep mountains and are known as the living fossils of the farming era. Along the winding mountain road, you can see the lush bamboo forests, the drizzle mixed with thick fog, like a dream; the sunrise in the east and the rain in the west, the sea of clouds and the rapeseed flower terraces that appear and disappear from time to time. Along the way, I couldn't help but stop the car to overlook or look far away, admiring the beauty of nature and the wisdom of human beings in opening up mountains and fields, and the poetic rural beauty left to the world. When the car went down to the bottom of the mountain, a large area of rapeseed flowers was displayed in front of me, and I was very excited. Despite the drizzle, I couldn't help but take out the drone to hurriedly shoot a few beautiful scenes, and I was very happy to go down the mountain. Because I was going to Shiquan, under the guidance of the villagers, the car followed the rapeseed flower sea on both sides, and then entered a national road leading to Shiquan, reluctantly leaving Xuanwo Town. Fengyan Ancient Terraces in Xuanwo Town, if time permits, it is worth playing for a day. This time because of the rain, I hurriedly watched the terraced rapeseed flowers, and didn't have time to see the several attractions during the period. I can only leave some regrets and wait for the next visit.
