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

It's the perfect place to escape the noise and fully immerse yourself in nature. 📍Location: It's located in Chongtou Town, Yunhe County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, not far from the county seat, and transportation is quite convenient~ 🌟 Must-visit Attractions: 1. Jiuqu Yunhuan Viewing Platform: The prime spot for watching the sunrise and sea of clouds! In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the layered terraces, the water surface glitters, and mist winds through the mountains, it's dreamlike, as if stepping into a fairyland. Be sure to take many photos at this time; every frame has a blockbuster feel 📸 2. Baiyin Valley: This valley hides ancient villages. Take a walk along the stone paths, see the houses constructed from stacked stones, and sense the history left behind by time. It feels like stepping back into the past, full of authentic local life. If you're lucky, you might meet some welcoming villagers who can share stories about the place. 3. Qixingdun Viewing Platform: Located at a higher elevation within the scenic area, it offers an incredibly expansive view. From here, the entire beauty of the terraced landscape unfolds before your eyes. At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun bathes the terraces in golden light, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. It's truly a 'healing' view! 🚗 Transportation: - By car: Navigate directly to "Yunhe Terrace Scenic Area". The scenery along the route is also very nice, allowing you to stop and enjoy it anytime. However, during holidays, it's best to depart early to avoid traffic congestion and trouble finding a parking lot. - Public transportation: First, arrive at Lishui Station. After exiting the station, take a direct bus to the scenic area from the bus station next door. Remember to book tickets in advance using the "Baba Kuaiba" mini-program. The 7-seater vehicle is quite comfortable. 🎫 Tickets & Fees: - Tickets cost [X] yuan.

Fresh bamboo shoots and local pork, simply cooked, are super delicious. There's also the special terrace rice paddy fish, which is tender with few bones – so satisfying to eat. I recommend "Terrace Farmhouse Stir-fry" in the small town below the mountain; it offers great value for money. "Cloud Flavor Snacks" at Jiuqu Yunhuan on the mountain has a great location. You can enjoy delicious food while taking in the beautiful scenery – it's wonderful! 🏨 Accommodation Options: - Guesthouses within the scenic area: Get up close to the beautiful terraces, stargaze at night, and wake up to the sunrise. Places like "Yunyi de Yuanzi" offer cozy rooms, attentive service, and a viewing terrace perfect for photos. - Accommodation at the foot of the mountain: Prices are relatively more affordable, and there are more options. If you're driving, you can go directly to Jiuqu Yunhuan in the morning to watch the sunrise. For example, the "Daocaocao Yujian Jimu Mu Hotel" is clean and tidy, and nearby dining and shopping options are very convenient.

▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️ 🌱Who understands this struggle? When it comes to writing essays, my child can't get started. They can't describe spring, don't understand farming, and can't appreciate poetry. 🌱They don't understand "terraced fields reflecting against the blue sky" and have no mental image of "homes nestled deep among white clouds"😭😭! They completely miss the feeling of "even without rain during Qingming Festival, entering deep into the clouds still makes one's clothes damp." 🌱Explaining it a thousand times at home isn't as effective as taking them to see it once. 🌱Let's wander through the fields! Let nature be the teacher! Let terraced fields and sea of clouds teach them how to write, let She ethnic stories fill their resource bank, and let their detailed descriptions be filled with authentic spring joys. 🚗Parent-child travel route: ▪️DAY 1: Baiyin Valley + Kenggen Stone Village ▫️After arriving at noon, visit Baiyin Valley and Kenggen Stone Village first.
