In Jiabang, enjoy the story of the countryside and the clouds and mountains

Whether you can see a good view from the terraces depends entirely on luck, because places with large-scale terraces (paddy fields) are generally located in the mountains of the south, where the air is humid, there is a lot of rain, and the mist is pervasive, often with thick fog all day long. I have been to the Longji Terraces in Guilin, the Yunhe Terraces in Zhejiang, and the Nanjianyan Terraces before, and each time it was misty. This time, when I went to the Jiabang Terraces, it was rare for the fog to dissipate at noon, allowing for a clear view, and I finally had what I would call a successful terrace trip. Time arrangement: Navigate to the Jiabang Terrace Scenic Area, it is best to go up the mountain the day before, stay overnight in the terrace scenic area, and then slowly tour the next day depending on the weather. Be careful driving on the mountain roads as they are not very good. Accommodation recommendation: It is recommended to stay near Viewing Platform No. 6, which is the last viewing platform in the scenic area and also the highest point. From No. 6 to No. 1, you can finish touring and reach the entrance and exit of the scenic area without having to backtrack. I stayed at Lianghua Homestay, which is just above Viewing Platform No. 6, and you can enjoy the view from the hotel. Tips: The terraces are generally located in the valley, and because they are paddy fields, there is a lot of moisture, and there is often thick fog in the morning. Don't be in a hurry, wait until noon or the afternoon when the fog usually disperses, that's the best time for photography.
