In ancient China, especially in the south, in order to subsist in a hilly environment, people wisely built numerous terraced fields along the slopes of the hills which formed great scenes in the eyes of photographers.

The Ming'ao Terraced Fields in Zhejiang Province is a perfect destination for tourists to visit. What's the best time to go? You have four choices. You may go there during March-April, when the flowers are blossoming. You can also visit in middle of May, when all the terraced fields are filled with water and look like mirrors of various shapes. October is also a good choice, as the rice matures and covers all over the hills. If you love snow scenes, go there in winter and you won’t regret it.
