When you go to Yuanyang Terraces, I won't allow you to miss this ancient village
There is a mushroom house town in Italy called Alberobello, and there is also such a mushroom house village in China. What's more fascinating is that there is also a spectacular terraced landscape here.
Azheke is a very "vibrant" village in Yuanyang. There are no noisy folk performances or brightly lit commercial streets here, nor is it hollowed out as a whole like Wuzhen, and the houses have all become homestays. Here, you will feel that Azheke is indeed a "living" village, and those mushroom houses and the spectacular terraces behind them are examples of the continuation of this traditional way of life.
Azheke is also a poverty alleviation project recognized by the United Nations World Tourism Organization. The proposer of the "Azheke Project", Professor Bao Jigang from Sun Yat-sen University, also won the "Nobel" of the tourism industry - the Ulysses Award this year. There is an introduction to the "Azheke Project" on the sign at the entrance of the village, the content is very detailed, and those who are interested can learn more.
Azheke is a village that charges a fee - 30R, and it also offers some local lifestyle and cultural experience activities, such as paddy field fishing, which are charged separately, but need to be booked in advance, and there is a minimum order number, which is about three or four. According to the Azheke Project, there is no foreign capital here, and the tourism income will be pooled into the village collective enterprise, so the ticket can be regarded as direct poverty alleviation.
Azheke Village is actually very small, with only more than 60 households in total. If you are fast, one hour is enough, but the houses and terraces here are worth slowing down to experience.
Must-see viewpoints:
Many tourists go directly into the village after checking their tickets. Pay attention not to enter the village first, turn right and there is the best photography point for shooting the whole view of the village! Walking along the stone path in the terraces to the distance, you can enjoy the full view of the terraces and the unique village of Azheke.
The mushroom houses of the same color as the earth stand in the magical terraces carved by time, and the sounds of geese, ducks, chickens and dogs come from the distant village from time to time. For people who have lived in the city for a long time, the rural countryside is presented in an extremely concrete form in front of their eyes, ears and even smell.
U-shaped terraces: At the back of the village, you can see it through the square! You can take pictures standing on the lower ridge, it's very spectacular.
Canyon viewing platform: Walk down from the village for ten minutes, here you can see the spectacular terraces, the layered textures spread out on the earth, and you can't even see the end. But unfortunately, when I arrived, the clouds in the mountains gradually rose, and the scenery was a bit blurry.
When it comes to Azheke, there may be many people who don't know where he is, but if you mention Yuanyang Hani terraces, I think everyone will know. Azke is a village in the Hani field of Yunnan Ocean, and is also a scenic spot here, but to enter this attraction, you need to buy tickets separately. Although you need to buy tickets separately, when we walk in, you will find that it is so happy to meet Azko in the most beautiful season. What season is Azko the most beautiful? I think the spring and autumn seasons of the year are the most beautiful. I was fortunate to come here in spring to play, see the scenery of spring flowers, and also see the spectacular irrigation in advance. A group of ducks swimming in the water to show us the truth of the spring river water warm duck prophet. Azhehe's play time is the best in about two hours, because at the end of the walk you will find a very large observation deck, you can see, very spectacular terraces, I suggest you come in the morning, because the probability of a sea of clouds in the morning will be very high.
[View] Very beautiful Hani village. The original ecology is not very commercial, it feels very good. The scenery of the terraces is also spectacular and beautiful. [Fun] The villagers are very simple and enthusiastic. The village is doing a banquet and they take the initiative to call us to eat. [Cost-effective] Ticket 30, I feel that the price is good. I also learned about their poverty reduction plan and it was a good demonstration. I hope that the villagers can live better and better.
In Yuanyang Hani terraces, many attractions are basically free, but Azheke is one of the special cases. He may have become very hot because of a movie, so he added tickets again, but I think this attraction is still worth coming to do it. After all, he has his own characteristics, his own house, his own folklore.
Not worth visiting, a failed scientific research project at Sun Yat-sen University. The surrounding traffic jams are serious, the scenic roads are narrow and lack management. Have to be five hundred years behind. The road signs are decorated with gods and ghosts, and the spirit of the ancient village is not reflected at all. Why don't you let the Chinese capital leave you here?
[View] Super beautiful [Fun] Super strong [Cost-effective] Super high
