Every day felt different in a natural way. One day we were walking through forest, the next we were looking over rice terraces, then visiting villages or resting in hot springs. The journey had variety, but it never felt disconnected.

Yuanyang is wild. The terraces in the clouds are a must-see. The forest hike and ancient village tour offered a legit look at traditional Chinese countryside. Totally worth the trip!
