Dazhai Dragon's Den Hostel in Rice Terraces

Spring has finally arrived! The villagers in Dazhai have long been waiting for the winter to pass because it’s in spring when life is renewed and the villagers can prepare for the next harvest. In spring, the villagers flood their rice fields with vast amounts of water to nourish the earth beneath it, creating a mirror-like landscape looking into mother nature’s soul. This visually stunning masterpiece has attracted many people from all around the world. We encourage guests to visit this spring to experience this amazing transition of nature.
