The Stone Forest’s karst towers formed over 270 million years; Yuanyang’s terraces were sculpted by Hani communities over centuries and inscribed as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2013.
The terraces depend on traditional irrigation and community stewardship; stick to trails, avoid littering, and support local businesses that practice sustainable tourism.
