Forums > Travel Yunnan > Yang Yan Terrace

Hello,

I am planning to come to Yunnan during the October holiday.
I am trying to catch the rice fields as they turn from green to golden yellow. I have see them before in September around Dali and Lijiand, but was wondering if the same happens in Yang Yan..ie. when do they start harvesting the rice and the land turns to plain earth with nothing more to see.

On a related matter, for a second trip:
Luoping rapefields: is it at end of February?
Yang Yun: when is best to see the flooded terraces, also around Feb/March?

thanks

Hello everyone,
I am planning to do a tour of Luopin and Yuanyang terraces.
Does anyone know for sure if at this time of the year both rape flowers are in full bloom and the terraces are flooded? In other words, is it too late in the season to ? When would be the latest period to enjoy both places in their full splendour?

Needless to say, we have asked many travel agencies and they all give different answer, often copy/paste from some brochure.

Also, if anyone has been there and has some particularly useful practical advice (hotel, restaurants, guide) or even just a less know cycling route around both ares, most appreciated.

Thanks for your help
