Hengshan Rice Terraces Introduction
The Hengshan Terraces, located in the midstream of the Dakeng River, are the most famous terraced landscapes in Sanzhi. As you travel along the roads from Sanzhi City toward Hengshan, a picturesque rural landscape unfolds before your eyes. Hengshan, formerly known as Hengshan Keng, is a hilly area with distinct elevation differences. In the early days, Sanzhi was sheltered by mountains and facing the sea, with limited flat land. To create more farmland, the settlers cultivated terraced fields following the terrain. The winding terraces along the mountains form layers of terraced landscapes, interspersed with roads and rivers that create geometrical patterns of beauty. No matter from which angle you stand, you can enjoy different sceneries. Hengshan is also the hometown of the "Beautiful Legs" water bamboo shoot in Sanzhi. The white, crunchy water bamboo shoot has become a well-known delicacy in Sanzhi. The fertile soil, clear water, and scenic surroundings produce delicious and sweet water bamboo shoots, which are also referred to as "Sanzhi Beautiful Legs." With the autumn breeze blowing, the green wave-like water bamboo fields, along with the waterwheels in motion with the flowing water, reveal a leisurely rural charm. On a relaxing holiday, consider visiting Sanzhi for a unique journey to enjoy bamboo shoot harvesting and savoring distinctive water bamboo shoot dishes.
