The terraced fields in Honghe County are one of the most inspiring scenes in southwest China's Yunnan Province, stretching from the foot of the mountains right to the peaks. The Honghe Hani Rice Terraces date back 1,300 years. The Hani people in this region developed an intricate system of channels to transport water from the forested mountaintops to the terraces – a remarkable testament to their wisdom and creativity. In 2013, this tiered landscape in Yunnan Province was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
