Who&#39;s still only going to Yuanyang?! The saying &quot;You don&#39;t know the enormity of the rice terraces until you&#39;ve been to Samaba&quot; is true! Certified by Guinness as the world&#39;s largest terraced rice fields, its over 4,300 ridges resemble a stairway descending from the clouds. The 2.7-kilometer hiking trail is breathtaking, and with millennia-old rice cultivation and pristine villages, this ethereal scenery hidden deep in the mountains is something you won&#39;t want to miss. ✨

🚗2-Day Self-Drive Nanny Itinerary (No Detours)

D1: Depart from Kunming &rarr; Mabang Ancient City (Rent Hani clothing for Republican-era style photos) &rarr; Nimei Rice Terraces (Walk up close on the rice ridges) &rarr; Samaba Rice Terraces Trail (Hike to admire the magnificent expanse)
D2: Sunrise at Samaba Rice Terraces (an early riser is a must-see!) &rarr; Market in Baohua Town (Try Hani snacks) &rarr; Yangliu Rice Terraces (Photograph willow trees reflecting off the terraces) &rarr; Zuofu Ethnic Village (Visit the mushroom houses) &rarr; Green Tree Terraces (See the green waters) &rarr; Twelve Dragon Springs (Drink from the holy spring water to finish)

1️⃣ Mabang Ancient City (Check-in for 0 Yuan!) 🎪

This is actually an &quot;ancient city in the clouds, carried on horseback&quot;! Tucked away in the heart of the county town, the century-old houses feature a blend of Eastern and Western influences from the Republican era. The blue brick arched doors and windows are like walking through a maze, and every detail tells the story of the Mabang culture.

You absolutely have to pay 20 Yuan to rent a Hani costume! The brightly colored outfits complement the Republican-era houses, and you can stand at the alley entrance and snap away! Instagram-worthy photos are yours in no time! 📸

2️⃣ Samaba Ten Thousand Acres Terraced Fields (30 Yuan admission) 🌅

This &quot;4A Treasure,&quot; newly opened in 2021, hides the world&#39;s largest contiguous terraced fields hidden away! With a drop of over a kilometer, two observation decks, and a five-mile plank road, the best part is being able to take in the entire 10,000 acres of terraced fields &ndash; the view is simply breathtaking! Key Points: This spot is only suitable for watching the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds (you can&#39;t see the sunset if you face east). When the morning mist shrouds the fields, it feels like stepping into a fairyland! For those with more stamina, you can even hike through the terraced fields to the Kangteng Red River Valley Tented Camp, a hidden gem few people know about.

3️⃣ Baohua Town Market (Free Shopping and Eating!) 🍜

This weekend-only &quot;Cloud Market&quot; is so lively! Hani people in traditional costumes wander among the stalls, while dyers and barbers practice their traditional crafts. Exotic wild ingredients, fragrant roasted tofu, and glutinous red rice noodles fill the streets. For just 10 yuan, you can eat your fill.

Remember your time! Visit Baohua Town on Sundays and Leyu Town on Saturdays. The busiest time is between 9 and 10 AM, and the stalls close at 12 PM. Be sure to arrive early if you want to go!

4️⃣ 3 Free, Small-Scale Rice Terraces (Few Crowds, Beautiful Scenery!) 🖼️

- Nimei Rice Terraces: Walk down the ridges, stepping barefoot in the water beside the fields. The wind, wrapped in the waves of rice, brushes against your feet, a gentle touch that melts your heart~
- Yangliu Rice Terraces: The willow trees on the terraces are absolutely stunning! Originally planted to stabilize the soil and conserve water, they have now become a unique sight, and the wind blowing through the willows is incredibly poetic~
- Lushuge Rice Terraces: Gentle slopes and tranquil waters, surrounded by green trees. In the afternoon, the sun shines through, casting a faint green glow on the water surface, creating a truly relaxing experience~
(All three of these spots are perfect for afternoon visits to avoid the crowds and take as many photos as you like!)

5️⃣ Zuofu Village + Twelve Dragon Springs (Check it out!) 🏡

Zuofu Village is a remarkably well-preserved, pristine Hani village. Large clusters of &quot;mushroom houses&quot; nestle against the mountainside, complemented by the thousands of terraced fields below. It&#39;s a picture of a paradise.

From Zuofu Village, stop by Twelve Dragon Springs. It&#39;s very close to the Green Tree Terraces. The water is so sweet you can drink it directly. It&#39;s also considered a sacred spring for the Hani people; a sip brings you good fortune.

Yunnan rice noodles have become a favorite food of local people. As time goes by, they are also loved by outsiders. It has become a popular brand, and its value is increasingly accepted by people.

In this border county, there are so many landscapes, and so many ways to cook and use foods. While maintaining its own style, Lanxin Restaurant has introduced many distinctive dishes.
