Located in Congjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, Jiabang Terraced Fields are among China's most iconic terrace landscapes. Every year, the spring plowing and water-filling period runs from April to May. During this time, the fully watered terraces turn into countless bright mirrors, offering visitors breathtaking natural views.

Here, you can leave the noise of the city behind and experience traditional farming life. You can visit ancient diaojiaolou (traditional stilt wooden houses), learn about the long-standing folk customs of the Miao people, and soak in the stunning natural beauty, where every snapshot looks like a masterpiece.
