老虎嘴梯田景区】
老虎嘴梯田位于元阳县城50公里处。这片梯田分布于深谷间，状如一巨大的花蕊，3000多亩梯田形状各异，如万蛇静卧于花蕊间，阳光照射下似天落碧波，浪花泛起，万蛇蠕动。老虎嘴梯田是元阳哈尼梯田最具有代表性、最为壮观的地方，完全可以用绵绵不绝、丝丝相连、无边无垠去形容。站在高高的老虎嘴上俯视，如潮似海，仔细观看，隐约有两匹奔驰的骏马，又似一只千年乌龟静卧山间，仿佛讲述着哈尼先民开垦梯田的沧桑史。近百个田棚点缀其间，犹如欲扬帆远航的小舟，令人惊叹不绝。往西望去，无数级梯田由南向北从深谷伸高，映影于云雾中如三条巨龙在挥舞，在夕阳余辉下，红白黑相映，光彩夺目。往东遥望，数千亩梯田攀附在七座半圆型山梁上，全成弯月型天梯，直指苍穹。又与七座半圆型山梁上的梯田相连，阳光倾泻，波光粼粼，形成立体的海洋。
站在老虎嘴的任何一个地方看下面的梯田，都是一幅幅恰似江南的水墨画卷，都是美丽的自然风光，会使你心旷神怡，情绪激昂，感叹万千人世间怎么会有如此美景。1993年3月著名制片商杨·拉马先生携未婚妻亲临其景后，流连忘返，在梯田的田棚里举行婚礼，并在此拍摄了专题片《山岭的雕塑家》，盛赞哈尼梯田。被法国报刊评为“1993年度新发现的世界七大人文景观之一”。老虎嘴梯田也被摄影家们称为世界上最壮丽的田园风光。
【Laohuzui scenic spot】
Laohuzui scenic spot is 50km from Yuanyang’s county seat. Terraces located in this valley have a shape of a huge flower. More than 3000 mu of terraces of various shapes, looks like a million snakes lying in the flowers. The sunlight reflecting off the water resembles sea waves and a million crawling snakes. The pattern of two galloping horses, the crouching tiger and dragon could appear in the terrace. It also resembles a 1,000-year old turtle reposing at the bottom of the valley, telling people the historical story about Hani ancestors and the terraces. This is the steepest and gorgeous terrace in Yuanyang. The field shacks in the fields look like the boats in the sea. In the west, we may see the terraces in the sea of clouds in the shape of three dragons. In the east, terraces in seven semi-circular mountains reflecting the sunlight show the image of vertical ocean.
Viewing the terraces from Laohuzui scenic spot, the beautiful scenery is just like the ink and wash painting.
