The Hani terraces in Mojiang Hani autonomous county, Yunnan province, have recently come alive with a picturesque beauty that encapsulates the essence of ancient agricultural heritage.
The terraced fields cascade down the mountainside. When filled with water, they shimmer, creating a stunning scene alongside the lush green vegetation and scattered mountain villages.
The Hani people are seizing the farming season by plowing, harrowing, nurturing young crops, and transplanting rice seedlings. Their skilled agricultural practices sustain a tradition that has flourished for millennia.
