During the procedure of declaring Yuanyang Hani terrace in Yunnan to be the world heritage, people begin to pay more attention to the terrace's special values of culture and tourism.

More attention should be paid to both conservation of rice landraces as well as to the traditional rice culture in Yuanyang Hani's terraced fields in Yunnan Province.

Up from the Hani Rice Terraces, in the mountains above Yuanyang, the water flowing down to irrigate the fields looks crystal clear, and the air is clean.
