The Yuanyang Rice Terraces are located on the southern slopes of Ailao Mountain in Yuanyang County (part of Honghe Hani Autonomous Prefecture) and in the south of Yunnan Province.
The Hani people's ancestors came to this steep mountain area 2,500 years ago. In their struggle against the difficult terrain they successfully established the terraces, where they grew rice in order to make a living.
Cultural Landscape of Honghe Hani Rice Terraces is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
