This place is a must to see if you’re in the south of Zhejiang. The best thing to do is go around by car as there are many places you can stop at and see. Yunhe, Lishui, Zhejiang

In south of Zhejiang, close to Lishui, there’s a small area with loads of villages and rice terraces. A great place to escape the city life for a few days. I’d recommend staying there for 2 nights and get to see the sunrise as well.

The Yunhe Terraces span three geological landscape zones: mountains, hills, and valleys, with up to more than 700 layers. It is the largest terrace group in East China and is known as "the most beautiful terraces in China". It is said that the terraces are covered with sea of ​​clouds for half of the year☁️. The entire terraced field scenic area is huge and is divided into two major tourist areas: Baiyin Valley and Jiuqu Yunhuan. 1️⃣ Jiuqu Yunhuan is the best viewing point for watching the sunrise over the terraced fields; 2️⃣ Baiyin Valley is an ancient village at the foot of the mountain, which retains some of the old houses with loess walls that are characteristic of the ancient village of Songyang. 🔆The best time to visit is during the sowing season from May to June, the rice ripening season in October, and the snowy season in winter, each with different scenery. 🚗Self-driving: Get off the expressway and drive along Provincial Highway 53 to the fork in the direction of Longquan, and go straight according to the sign for Yunhe Terraces Scenic Area. 🎫Ticket price for terraced fields: RMB 80 📍Opening hours: 08:00-17:00 (summer) #Outing and flower viewing is the right time#Hiking#Farm experience

Mountain Top! The highest peak in lishui. The place that will take your best away with the outstanding 360 view of nature mountains! The road might be a light difficult to drive as it is rough road, but once you reached the top, all worries fades and worthy!

When I am old, I hope to plant a small field with Mr. Hu here, raise a dog and live a peaceful and happy life. This is probably the best end of life. Finally, I understand that ancient poets are keen on living in seclusion. Stay away from the noise and return to your hometown. #merrychristmas

Yunhe Rice Terrace is located in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. Get up early to view the sunset, quite sleepy and tired. However, the scenery is amazing! Worthwhile to get up early! #scenicspotguide
