"We are interested in the Kaiyangmen, so we are here," said Mr. Zhang from Chongqing. He was fascinated by the spectacular scenery and farming ceremony.

"Celebrating Kaiyangmen Festival is a good way to preserve Hani culture, and is of great significance to the protection, utilization and development of terraces,” said He Tao, mayor of Honghe County. Since 2015, the county has held large-scale folk custom exhibition activities during Kaiyangmen festival, a bid to explore, inherit and promote folk music and other folk culture.
