Yunnan Yuanyang Terrace is located in the south of Yunnan Province, and the terrain distribution in Yunnan Province is characterized by high in the northwest and low in the south. From Zhongdian and Lijiang in northwest Yunnan to Simao, Banna, Honghe and Wenshan in south Yunnan, the altitude gradually drops, forming a cold temperate and frigid climate type with no summer in all seasons in high altitude areas in northwest Yunnan and a subtropical and tropical climate type with no winter in all seasons in low altitude areas in south Yunnan.
From northwest Yunnan to south Yunnan, with the decrease of altitude, the stereoscopic climate becomes more and more obvious, and the rainfall is also increasing. The largest rainfall in the whole province is in the Hani nationality concentrated area on the south bank of Honghe River, with an average annual rainfall of 1.397.6 mm. The corresponding rice planting is becoming more and more intensive, and the dry land planting is decreasing.
