Want to know: Yuanyang Rice Terraces or Longji Rice Terraces are better?

The following is a comparison between the Longji Rice Terraces and the Yuanyang Rice Terraces in Yunnan in Xixi’s work. I hope it will be helpful to you:

The Longji Rice Terraces are located in northern Guangxi, and the Yuanyang Rice Terraces are located in southern Yunnan. Yuanyang belongs to the Hani ethnic group, and Longji belongs to the Yao ethnic group. The two are not closely related geographically and ethnically, but they are both famous for their terraced fields. Which terraced field is better? In fact, for me, there is no way to compare or distinguish between the two. To use a common saying, "Everyone has their own preference for radish and green vegetables." Let's use the camera lens to taste their characteristics!

1. First impression: The Yuanyang terraces are gentle, large in area and majestic, while the Longji terraces are higher in terrain and built on the shape of mountains. They rise one after another and are even more beautiful.

2. Shooting and framing

The terraces in Yuanyang are rich and colorful, and the red flats are one of its major features. Under the action of light, they show brilliant colors, which is amazing! The Yuanyang terraces express their momentum and are more suitable for long-distance photography.

Comparedly, the terraces in Longji are closer to tourists, and the terraces have a strong sense of hierarchy. In addition to expressing large scenes, the partial description of regular terraces is also a hobby of photographers.

3. Sunrise

It is precisely because of the terrain that the undulating terraces of Jinkeng are difficult to interpret light and shadow as wonderfully as Duoyishu, but it is the stunning At this point, like the finishing touch, a giant dragon sleeping in the mountains takes flight. Looking from a distance, the terraced fields in the rolling mountains sparkle in the morning light, winding like a dragon's spine.

The sunrise at the Duoyi tree in Yuanyang, which belongs to the plateau, has clear air, and the large-area terraces are breathtakingly beautiful against the light and shadow. I have to admire the Hani people who use their hands to create their own life. At the same time, it also created this visual feast for China and the world.

4. The best season for traveling

The layering of the Dragon's Back Terraces makes it show different characteristics in each season. The Dragon's Back you only see once is incomplete. If possible, you might as well come here in spring, summer, autumn and winter. When night falls and the colorful lights in the terraces light up, you will truly understand the meaning of the seven stars accompanying the moon in Ping'an Village.

The water-filled Yuanyang Ladder is amazing. It is rare to see what Yuanyang looks like in other seasons. Perhaps it is because of the relatively flat geographical characteristics of its terraces that the layers of Yuanyang in other seasons are different. The aesthetic expression is insufficient and does not meet the aesthetic standards required by people.

5. National Characteristics

Due to the government's attention, the Yao Village in Longji has preserved its houses very well. All new houses must be manufactured according to the craftsmanship inherited from the Yao Village. It has a wooden structure and does not require a single iron nail in the whole building. The entire village helps one family build the building. There is no free lunch when watching folk performances. Regardless of whether it is commercial or not, the ethnic atmosphere here can still be felt at all times, especially the women's clothing has always maintained ethnic traditions.

Yuanyang belongs to the Hani ethnic group. Their iconic folk houses are round mushroom houses made of grass. But now they are all fake. The cement bungalows with mushroom domes mixed with grass look very bad. Incongruous. To see the real Hani houses, you can only go to the more original and simple Dayang Street.

6. Comprehensive

Longji Terraces: Longji Terraces are mainly located in Ping'an Village and Jinkeng. Because Ping'an Village was developed earlier and has an overly commercial flavor, now photographers We all like to go to Jinkeng, and the 50 yuan ticket includes two attractions. The only way to get to the bottom of the mountain is to hike up the mountain. The higher you go, the more beautiful the scenery you see. The food and accommodation on the mountain are more convenient and the conditions are good. And if you choose the Yaojia Hotel with a better angle, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the terraced fields at any time. If you have time, you might as well stay in the mountains for a few more days. You can walk around and look for the next village, or you can do nothing. Stay idle all day.

Yuanyang Rice Terraces: There are many scenic spots far away from each other. You need to charter a car to go to the old city. Although some scenic spots have accommodation, the conditions are still relatively poor. Except for the terraces, their related tourism development has not yet been completed. Perfect, no tickets are currently charged. The travel time is generally 2-3 days. You can ride the entire journey.
