Speaking of terraced fields, you will think of Yuanyang in Yunnan, Longji in Guangxi, Jiabang in Guizhou or Ziquejie in Hunan and so on. But in the winding Nanling Mountains, there is a Pingshan terrace in dapu county, Meizhou, which has a history of more than 400 years. It is the oldest terrace in Guangdong and one of the most outstanding terraces.
Pingshan Terrace was built in the middle of Ming Dynasty and completed in the early Qing Dynasty, with a history of more than 400 years. Terrace 1.200 mu, main terrace 680 mu, slope 25-65 degrees. Terraces range from dozens to thousands, criss-crossing, continuous ups and downs, like an idyllic picture scroll flowing along the mountain.
Pingshan terraces are not well known. Located in Pingshan Village, Dadong Town, dapu county City, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, 40 kilometers away from Dapu County.
Dadong Town is located in the south of dapu county, bordering Raoping County, Chaozhou. Pingshan Terrace and Calyx Building are two major scenic spots in the town.
Calyx Building is the best-preserved round earth building in Guangdong, and Pingshan Terrace, known as "Guangdong Yuanyang", is also a terrace with beautiful scenery and a long history.
Pingshan terraces are small in scale, and the tourist routes are all round, which is about three observation platforms, but the distance is not close. If you don't drive by car, you'll probably have to take a battery car.
Near the entrance gate is the main observation deck of Pingshan terraces, and there is a plank road above the terraces, which can overlook the terraces at close range.
This terrace is a bit like a stadium stand. Although there are not many stages, the visual effect is good.
There is also a waterwheel near the terrace, which further reflects the pastoral scenery.
Terraced full of green has beautiful scenery, fresh air and pleasant walking.
Terraced fields with ancient trees are typical rural pastoral scenery.
The terraced fields shaded by pine branches have more charm.
There is a double deck observation deck above the terrace, which is convenient for visitors to overlook the terrace.
Paddy fields in Tai Po are planted twice a year, and you can enjoy different terraces all year round.
12/2 is a "colorful terrace", and the winter scenery of colorful terraces is composed of Chinese milk vetch, rape flower, broad bean and other crops.
March-April and July-August are "Harada's moistening". During the spring ploughing and Xia Geng, the fields were filled with water. Tens of millions of terraces of different shapes, like thousands of mirrors, are embedded in the green hills. The smoke from the kitchen chimneys in the quaint villages curled up, and the industrious villagers worked in the fields, forming a beautiful terrace of "harmony between man and nature".
April-May and August-September are "green terraces". In the season of rice growth, there are layers of green brocade and endless green. Along with the quiet village, there is a beautiful terraced field.
June-July and 10- 1 1 are "golden terraces". When early rice and late rice are ripe, golden rice fields and heavy rice ears sway in the wind, and dense green ring forests wrap golden fields, just like a huge "jade inlaid with gold".
Every season has countless rural scenery.
Although Pingshan terraces are not as beautiful as those famous terraces in China, it is quite refreshing to walk into such a green field.
Although the Pingshan terrace in Tai Po is not necessarily the largest and most beautiful terrace even in Guangdong Province, there is always an indescribable physical and mental pleasure when you walk into the terrace and feel this beautiful pastoral picture. Perhaps this is the "distant place" in Xu Wei's lyrics. Although terraced fields are unnatural, they are a model of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Hundreds of years ago, human beings cultivated on these mountains, and it took dozens or even hundreds of years to weave pastoral scrolls. Time flies, more than 400 years have passed, and the beauty of Pingshan terraces remains the same. What other beautiful scenery are there in dapu county, a corner of Guangdong? Welcome to continue to pay attention!
