Laohuzui Rice Terrace

Yunnan


Among the rice terraces at Yuanyang this was once one of the most mesmerising places to watch the sunset, but a recent landslide has sadly destroyed some of the surrounding terraces. It's also known as Mengpin (勐品梯田, Měngpǐn Tītián), after the name of the closest village.
