About this tour

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Hainan’s most spectacular terraced landscapes, carved by time and tradition.
Escape to the heart of Wuzhishan City and immerse yourself in the stunning Yahu Terrace—a masterpiece of harmony between humanity and nature. Nestled in Yahu Village, Maoyang Town (about 90 minutes from Sanya), this sprawling 73-hectare terrace cascades like emerald steps from mountain peaks at 600 meters down to forest edges at 20 meters. Originally shaped by the local Li people centuries ago, these terraces reflect ancient wisdom in adapting to the land, following the principle of “forests above, terraces on the slopes, and villages below.​
  • Majestic Scenery:​ Wander through layered terraces that blend seamlessly with lush forests and traditional Li villages, offering endless photo opportunities.
  • Cultural Heritage:​ Learn how the Li people have sustainably farmed these slopes since the Qing Dynasty (1636–1912), creating a living cultural landscape.
  • Seasonal Wonders:​ Visit during irrigation seasons (Jan–Feb or Aug–Sep) to see mirror-like water-filled fields, or in growing seasons (Mar–May or Oct–Nov) for vibrant green paddies. Golden harvest views in June or December add to the year-round charm.
  • Nature and Harmony:​ Experience a preserved ecosystem where terraces, forests, rivers, and villages coexist—a testament to ecological balance.
