The Hani terraces in Mojiang, crafted over generations through the hard work of the Hani people, capitalize on the region's unique mountainous climate and geographical features, creating a harmonious ecosystem that integrates forests, villages, terraces, and water systems.

These terraces are vital agricultural lands for the community and play a crucial role in preserving the traditional culture of the Hani people, according to local authorities.
