Suitable for hiking, the appearance of each season is different. April and May are the season of flooding terraces and reflecting light, which is the photographer's favorite season. The terraced fields in summer are a wave of lush rice;

Jiabang terraces in October are the harvest season; The terraced fields filled with water in winter are mixed with some harvested straw and light green manure. Because of the ups and downs of the mountains, the terraces here are no more than one acre. At night, you can also enjoy peace in the depths of low mountains and in the fog all the year round. This is a unique terrace above the clouds in the world.

Basha, Miao language, means lush vegetation. Several men in black, wearing hairpins and holding guns, stood in a row in front of the hut, looking trance-like, making people think they had broken into the bandit's hut.

Basha Miao village, a pure Miao village, still retains ancient life customs such as wearing muskets, shaving their heads with sickles, worshiping ancient trees and performing adult rituals. They advocate force and stick to guns after the adult ceremony, so they are called "the last gunman tribe in the sun".

Like most Miao villages here, the whole village is built on the mountain, and the lush trees are in full view. The ancient tree burial culture has been preserved. After every Basha person is born, his parents will plant a tree for him and hold a ceremony to worship the tree god, symbolizing the beginning of his life. From then on, the tree accompanied this man through the ups and downs of life, spring, summer, autumn and winter, until he came to the end of his life.

Starting from Basha Miao Village, you can reach the gate of Zhaoxing Dong Village through the beautiful forest. According to the traditional drum tower style of the Dong nationality, the gate of Zhaoxing Dong Village has seven cornices, and the top floor is a pavilion, all of which are connected by tenons and mortises without any nails. The unique five drum towers of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faithfulness" are unique among Dong villages in China.
