撒玛坝万亩梯田
A continuous terrace area of tens of thousands of mu in Baohua Town, Honghe County. It has many tiers and steep drops, and at sunset the paddies on the entire hillside shine with golden light.
The Samaba Terraces are located in Baohua Town, Honghe County. They are the largest continuous section of the Hani Terraces, rising from a river valley at about 600 meters above sea level to mountaintops over 1,800 meters high, with thousands of tiers. The scale is more expansive than the core Yuanyang area. The scenic area has viewing platforms and terrace boardwalks where you can walk down into the fields. Sunset is when the paddies reflect light most beautifully, and before autumn harvest the fields turn golden. It takes about 2 hours by car from Xinjie Town in Yuanyang. It is best to make a day trip or stay overnight in Baohua Town. The mountain roads have many bends, so drive slowly in foggy weather.
