Spring scenery of the Honghe Hani Rice Terrace is seen in Yuanyang county, Honghe Hani and Yi autonomous prefecture, Southwest China's Yunnan province. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hani Terrace scenery mesmerizes with its many colors. When looked at from afar, zigzagging lines of the terraces look smooth and elegant, and together with the changing daylight, the scene can be truly breathtaking.[Photo by Zeng Yonghua/China Daily]
