Hapao Rice Terraces

Hapao

World Heritage terraces in Hungduan town, where stone-walled terraces spread along the river valley. Hot springs by the river are nearby, and visitor numbers are low.

Hapao Rice Terraces are in Hungduan town and are one of the five core zones of the World Heritage rice terraces. Stone walls build up the terraces, which cover the entire river valley layer upon layer. A viewpoint by the road gives a full view, or you can walk down the terrace paths to the Hapao Hot Springs at the valley floor for a soak. The site is about 20 kilometres from Banaue, roughly 1 hour by tricycle or jeepney. It sees far fewer visitors than Batad, making it a good choice for those who want to enjoy the terraces in peace. A small environmental fee is required for entry.
