1500-year-old village | 3001-step terraced field | Walking tour

The history of Qingkou Terraces can be traced back to 1300 BC, when residents used the terrain of the hillside to dig canals and build terraces, thus achieving the rational use of water resources. The design of this terrace is very clever, which can not only ensure the supply of water, but also maximize the use of hillside land resources to achieve high yields.
Qingkou Village is located in the south of Xinjie Town, Yuanyang County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. The lowest altitude of the village is 1,500 meters and the highest altitude is 1,650 meters. The annual average temperature is 16 degrees and the highest temperature is 33 degrees. Agriculture is mainly based on traditional rice. The typical mountain village has a "four-element isomorphism" landscape of mountains, streams, villages and terraces. The village is extremely densely forested, with birds singing and cicadas chirping, full of a strong original rural atmosphere.
The vast terraces are vast seas of clouds. Going east through the bamboo forest, crossing the stone bridge, and following the winding path to the water mill, water pestle, and water mill. Follow me into this beautiful village...
