Tourists usually get to Yuanyang Rice Terraces from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan. With a driving distance for about 320km, it takes about 5.5~6 hours from Kunming to Yuanyang Rice Terraces directly by car. Considering the driving journey is relatively long and tough, visitors prefer to make a stop at Jianshui Old Town, which is settled just in between.

In such a natural terraces spot in the remote area, hiking is always the best way for sightseeing. And due to its large size, tourists normally need to ask a local van to make transfers between the terraces areas.
