If you have ever been to Dongchuan Red Soil and Hani Terrace, you will believe that wind has its color.

Lands in deep red, purple, bright red, etc, cover thousands of mountains. When wind blows, the plants in fields wave tenderly. It is a colorful picture drew by the nature. Viewing it from away, it looks like a oil painting more than a Chinese painting.

Hani terrace in Yuanyang has a history of over 1,300 years. During thousand years' development and cultivation, Hani terrace has formed a "terrace – village – water system – woods" recycle agricultural system, and is called a miracle in China even in the world. The UNESCO's World Heritage Committee inscribed China's cultural landscape of Honghe Hani Rice Terraces onto the prestigious World Heritage List in June, bringing the total number of World Heritage Sites in China to 45.

Yunnan is the paradise for photography.
