It turns silver in spring, green in summer, gold in autumn and white in winter. Located in Guangxi Province, the terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people. Starting from Yuan Dynasty, the work on them was finally completed in the early Qing Dynasty. For a lack of large flat areas of land, steep mountains and shallow soil, the locals built the terraces, which are cleverly designed and can hold soil, to have more areas to grow rice. There are hundreds of waterways, along which during the rainy season rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour. This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again. Today, local people still use the ancient methods to maintain the terraces, which are a great wonder created by people and nature working together, attracting countless visitors. Lucid water and lush mountains are invaluable assets.Clear waters and green mountains are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver $$
