" The Cultural Landscape of Honghe Hani Rice Terraces, China covers 16,603-hectares in Southern Yunnan. It is marked by spectacular terraces that cascade down the slopes of the towering Ailao Mountains to the banks of the Hong River. Over the past 1,300 years, the Hani people have developed a complex system of channels to bring water from the forested mountaintops to the terraces. They have also created an integrated farming system that involves buffalos, cattle, ducks, fish and eel and supports the production of red rice, the area’s primary crop. The inhabitants worship the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, forests and other natural phenomena including fire. They live in 82 villages situated between the mountaintop forests and the terraces. The villages feature traditional thatched “mushroom” houses. The resilient land management system of the rice terraces demonstrates extraordinary harmony between people and their environment, both visually and ecologically, based on exceptional and long-standing social and religious structures.

Suggested teaching methods:
- Allow students to choose from World Heritage sites in China to research and reflect on in small groups. You can view my other guides in the bundle.
- Have students research and present on sites to peers, then fill out research questions based on their peers’ presentations.
- After presenting on the site, use reflection questions as “do now” questions.
- Use as a lesson plan for a substitute, as students will be able to use the guide independently.
- Use as homework following a different lesson on China or other UNESCO World Heritage Site research guide.
Desired Student Outcomes:
- Students will learn about the geographic region.
- Students will be able to explain the UNESCO World Heritage Site classification.
- Students will be able to articulate why this site is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
