Yahan terraces are located in Yahanli, to the southwest of Baleng. The Yahan area is well known for its "terraced fields" and "hot springs." Many professional photographers visit to capture the rare sight of terraced fields in Taiwan. The best photography spot is at SanGuang, across the river from Yahan. There, viewers can take in the beautiful, undulating terraced fields with elegant lines — a memorable scene in the Northern Cross-County Trail. The Yahan tribal area is a settlement of the Atayal aboriginal people, situated by the Ma-Likouan Stream of the Northern Cross-County Trail. It holds the second largest plateau in Taoyuan’s Fuxing District, second only to the Guoshengshan (Jiaogunshan) area, and was once known as the "Granary of the Back Country." Access to Yahan can be gained by turning from the Ba Leng area onto Guanghua Road. Although Yahan is not a popular tourism destination, this lack of attention has helped preserve the village's original rural charm. In this quiet mountain village lies an ancient system of terraced fields built during the Japanese colonial period under the promotion of highland rice cultivation. At that time, local Atayal residents were mobilized to clear land from hilltops down to the stream, constructing terraced fields and introducing mountain spring water for irrigation. The resulting landscape of terraced fields became the most beautiful sight in the village. During the peak of development, over a thousand terraces, with an elevation difference exceeding 1000 meters, formed a self-sufficient system that ensured a stable life for residents and added distinctive scenery to the tribal area. To fully appreciate these multi-layered terraced fields, one should take the road opposite Yahan leading to SanGuang, where green fields stretch across the valley, merging beautifully with distant mountain ranges and the blue sky, creating a soothing and refreshing view. Besides the visually striking geometric patterns of the rice fields, one can also see small cottages dotted between the terraces. Straight roads divide the fields, occasionally punctuated by slow-moving vehicles — the leisurely pace of rural life is enviable for city dwellers. The Yahan terraces, previously used for rice cultivation, undergo dramatic seasonal changes. As rice grows, the fields transform from sprouting seedlings to green expanses and finally to golden ripeness before harvest — each stage is captivating. Watching farmers work tirelessly in the fields, one easily loses track of time until sunset paints an extraordinary rural scene rarely seen in urban areas. In recent years, the Yahan tribal community, unwilling to let the neighboring Lalashan have all the limelight for its watermelons, has begun cultivating a special "Mother Peach" (a sweet watermelon peach), with the main harvesting season in May. This crop coincides with Mother’s Day, and it was also named by local farmers, who are either single mothers or Atayal mothers over sixty years of age. The fruits are particularly sweet, juicy, and tender — a must-try for visitors.
