In ancient times, the Hani people developed a watering project. Today, it still helps them bring water from the forests to fields. To make better use of these water-filled rice fields, farmers raise fish and ducks in them. Near the terraces, there are many houses with three floors in the villages. The first floor is for pigs and other animals, the second is a living area and the top floor is for storing rice. The lively landscape is really beautiful.
