The Yuanyang Rice Terraces are beautiful in spring, but the Bada Observation Deck is crowded with people, and quarrels are common.

Among Yuanyang Rice Terraces, Bada Observation Deck is the best place to take pictures of the sunset. Here you will see a very shocking wonder of the sea of ??clouds. The sunset glow, sea of ??clouds, terraces and reflections are all integrated into one, which will definitely amaze your eyes. . In order to capture these scenes, the photographers arrived at the scene three hours before sunset, occupied a favorable position, set up tripods, and were ready to go with long guns and short cannons. Seeing people standing on the fence, newcomers will sigh, "Wow, there are so many people, how can we take pictures!" After all, this is a camera position that photographers have bought with their time, and they will not give it to others easily, they can only hold on to it. At the last minute, when people from behind keep coming, collisions will inevitably occur. When one party is uncivilized, a war of words will begin.

The most regrettable scenic spot during this trip to Yuanyang Rice Terraces is Bada Scenic Area. I came here just to watch the sunset. It was already around 6:30 in the afternoon when we arrived at Bada Observation Deck. However, we never expected what we saw. The observation deck was already crowded with tourists. There were three floors at the viewing railing. The outer three floors are crowded together, and there are tourists from all over the country. It is impossible to squeeze in to take pictures of the sunset on the terraces. I have no choice but to use a drone to take a look, but because there are too many people, it is dangerous to take pictures. I didn’t dare to stay too long, so I quickly let the drone land.

Now as all the tourist attractions in Yuanyang Rice Terraces are gradually becoming popular, the management of tourist attractions is also unsatisfactory.

Bada Scenic Area, also known as Malizhai Scenic Area, is located 43 kilometers south of the county and 15 kilometers east of Xinjie. Main attractions: Quanfuzhuang Rice Terraces, Bada Rice Terraces, Malizhai Rice Terraces, Shangmadian Rice Terraces and villages. Main content and features: Mainly focused on Hani customs, humanities and natural landscapes. There are 17 natural villages in the panoramic area, with 1,910 households, 10,244 people, and 8,737 acres of terraced fields, all belonging to the Hani ethnic group. It is a place to appreciate Hani rice terraces, sea of ??clouds, Hani architecture and other scenery. It is also the center for understanding, researching and experiencing Hani culture.

The terraces in Bada Scenic Area are large, spectacular, with beautiful lines and strong three-dimensional effect. Starting from the Malizhai River at an altitude of 1,100 meters, thousands of layers of terraced fields stretch continuously to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 2,000 meters, towering over Malizhai, Bada, Shangmadian, Quanfuzhuang and other Hani villages. Lifted into the sea of ??clouds. Standing at the Malizhai Tea Factory and looking at the terraced fields, the nearly 10,000 acres of terraced fields are like a sloping sea, glowing with sparkling waves. The scenery is very spectacular. After four o'clock in the afternoon, the vast white sloping sea follows the setting sun. down, gradually turning into pink and red. Then transform into pink and white. It is a place to watch and photograph the changes of the terraces over time.

Facing east and west, Bada Rice Terraces is a sunset attraction. In other words, the best time to view it is in the evening every day, when the sun sets and the sky is full of red clouds. Some photographers say It is one of the famous scenic spots for watching the sunset, Hani rice terraces, sea of ??clouds, villages and other scenery.

I had no choice but to take two photos of the terraces between the crowds, which is a bit pitiful to say the least.

The aisle of the viewing platform is only about three or four meters wide, and the railings near the terraces are crowded with people. There is only about one meter of aisle for people to travel.

In order to take pictures of the sunset, some photography enthusiasts set up tripods and stand on stools to shoot. This can also easily cause safety hazards. If someone in the crowd squeezes around, they may easily fall. Come down.

It’s hard to find a good seat on the observation deck. Generally speaking, every scenic spot has its best shooting spot. In order to prevent over-development, the observation deck will not be built very large and can accommodate few people. In addition, the shooting position can only be close to the fence. Once in a row, the view behind will be blocked, which naturally causes unnecessary conflicts among tourists.

When people are crowded, the most difficult thing to take care of is the tripod. If someone kicks it, the camera will shake and the photo will be blurred. Some people will even force the photography equipment to block other people's eyes. In front of the camera, the photos taken by others will be invalid, and all of these will become reasons for quarrels.

I was puzzled. There were a lot of tourists in Bada Scenic Area day after day. The observation deck was crowded with people, people were squeezing and scolding each other, but the managers of the scenic area were unmoved. When is the scenario resolved? Anyway, I will never go there again, and I advise you not to go either. It’s uncomfortable to spend money, so I advise everyone not to go!
