My first visit to Lishui was met with a cloud sea sunrise that moved me to tears
Strolling through the layered terraces is like measuring the pulse of the earth, marveling at the wonders of nature and admiring the wisdom of the people in the mountains. The fresh mountain air is picturesque, like something out of a poem. It turns out that not only Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan have terraces; I discovered the first national 5A-rated terrace attraction in Lishui, Zhejiang. It's a paradise-like beauty that I can't forget for a long time. I'm eager to organize and recommend my 2-day travel guide, please accept it with a smile!.

The scenery overlooking is still good, the aerial photography is even better, but unfortunately I don’t have that equipment, I can only run up and down to find the shooting angle, and finally took a few satisfactory photos. The newly built sightseeing tower next to it should be taken.
This year, there are not many eleven people. In the morning, the Qixingdun Observation Deck took the cable car to Jiuqu Yunhuan. The golden cancan is very beautiful. The cable car ticket is a bit expensive to go back and forth for 140 yuan per person. If you drive, you can drive down the mountain road from Qixingdun and pass through the glass tower and Jiuqu Yunhuan.
Clouds and terraces, with a vast area and a total height of more than 700 floors, are scattered between the valleys, hills and mountains in the southwest mountainous area of Zhejiang at an altitude of 200 ~ 1400 meters, with pleasant scenery. Clouds and terraces are divided into two main viewing areas: Baiyin Valley and Jiuqu Yunhuan. In terms of height and area, Baiyin Valley wins with a vast and spectacular, and Jiuqu Cloud Ring is a compact and beautiful. The commanding height of Jiuqu Cloud Ring is the observation deck (the higher sightseeing tower on the back is being commissioned). A gentle and gentle field is like a wonderful arc of nature; The terraces scattered on the floors gather the hardworking wisdom of the ancestors; a pile of rice bundles harvesting the volleys of rice, catharsis of the joy given by the harvest day, have a panoramic view. The observation deck has two wooden plank roads leading to the foot of the mountain, which can be in close contact with the terraces. Walking in the terraced wooden plank road, twisting trails and different terraced fields, clever work; swaying bamboo branches and rolling rice waves, intersect; the cattle scarecrow and the big sisters in the shape of the cow, competing for the beauty of the eye, happy in it.
Very worth visiting and learning place, very rewarding.
Jiuqu Yunhuan is the essence of the clouds and terraces. This is the best point for taking pictures. The terraces, terraces, twists, twists and turns form a beautiful scattered arc. Especially when the sunrise and the glow are strong, the beauty here is unparalleled.
