We wake up at dawn, the views are breathtaking.....We go back to sleep and have breakfast at the Sunny.
Dawn in Yuanyang
We take a nice walk of about 18 km to the east. We see villages and we walk among the rice fields. It is an unbearable heat, we see some women with umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun, what a good idea. It is common to see old people smoking big pipes.
Dawn in Yuanyang
Another option is to make the trip by taxi (about 300¥), but we find it very expensive and after the beating to get here we feel like walking on our own.
Yuanyang
The terraces of Yuangyan are located in the southeast of Yunnan province, all the mountains are divided into terraces where rice is grown, you have several viewpoints from which to enjoy the views that are impressive.
Yuanyang
They are the home of the Hani people but they coexist with other minorities that you can easily see in the market of Xinjie.
Road
There are practically no restaurants open for eating, probably because it is low season, but we found a street stall outside a school.

Rice terraces
We buy potatoes, sausages and water to quench thirst and hunger. The potatoes cost us 1.5 ¥. The sausages are 1¥ but there's no way to eat them.

Terraces
It has been a wonderful day where we have been able to enjoy impressive views and typical villages.
