Rice terraces at sunrise
The Honghe Hani rice terraces are a recently designated UNESCO World Heritage Site in the south of Yunnan province, China. They cascade down the Ailao mountains to the banks of the Hong River and have been in constant cultivation for the last 1300 years. They are sculpted out of the hills so the water flows down from the top, filling each one in turn. These terraces are at Duoyishu. The early morning light caught the rims of the terraces, highlighting them and bringing out the contours.
