You step out of the air-conditioned van onto a narrow path carved into the mountain and the terraces answer with a slow, organized ripple—water catching the sky, rows of rice that climb like steps to the ridge. Stone staircases cut through the slopes; wooden houses of Ping’an and Longji sit where earth flattens into living platforms. The fields seem to move with the light, daring you to follow the contours higher for a wider view.
