Yunhe Terraced Fields — Sunrise and Sea of Clouds, Jiuyun Cloud Ring

The Yunhe Terraced Fields are located in Yunhe County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, China, and are one of China's most famous terraced landscapes, renowned as "China's Most Beautiful Terraces." 🚘 Transportation: *You can drive, hire a private car, or take a rideshare. *If departing from Lishui Station, you can book a ride in advance using "Baba Kuai Ba." *Within the scenic area, there are shuttle buses and a cable car🚡. 🌟 Highlights: -The terraces are spread across mountain slopes at elevations of 200–1,400 meters, featuring dramatic elevation changes and strong layering. Key areas include Jiuyun Cloud Ring, Qixingdun, and Baiyin Valley's Kenggen Village. -Jiuyun Cloud Ring: The best spot for sunrise and panoramic views. If time is limited and you can only visit one site, choose this one. For sunrise viewing, check the sunrise time in advance and wake up early—we got up around 5 AM. After rain the previous day, we only saw the sea of clouds but no sunrise.🌅 -Qixingdun: Accessible by cable car, featuring observation decks, a cloud-top café☕, and cloud swings. -Baiyin Valley (Kenggen Ancient Village): Preserves the original ancient village charm, with small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses. Ideal for hiking and enjoying the scenery along the way. [Rainbow] Seasonal Beauty: - Spring: Water-filled fields mirror the sky and mountain reflections like glass. - Summer: Lush green rice waves, full of vitality. - Autumn: Golden rice ears, a riot of colors. - Winter: Misty and dreamy, like a fairyland. 📝 Tips: *The chance of seeing the sea of clouds over the terraces is higher after rain clears🌧️. *April–June is the irrigation and transplanting period, offering the best mirror-like effects. July–October features golden rice fields🌾. *Wear comfortable, non-slip shoes for hiking the terraces. *Temperature varies greatly in the mountains—bring a jacket🧥. *For accommodations, there are many homestays and hotels in the area. For homestays, staying near Jiuyun Cloud Ring is recommended to avoid long trips for sunrise viewing. For family-friendly hotels, consider Lishui Yunhe Daocaocao Meets Jimumu Hotel. The Yunhe Terraced Fields Guiye Yunhai Camp offers an excellent location right inside Jiuyun Cloud Ring, making sunrise and sea-of-clouds viewing convenient, though prices are higher.
