Terraced fields refer to agricultural landscapes that have been ingeniously shaped and sculpted into a series of steps or terraces on sloping terrain. These man-made structures are designed to maximize the use of arable land and mitigate soil erosion in hilly or mountainous regions. Each terrace is leveled to create flat platforms, often resembling giant steps, which allow for efficient cultivation of crops such as rice, corn, or various vegetables. Terraced fields not only showcase the harmonious coexistence of human ingenuity and nature but also offer breathtaking scenery, with their layered patterns and lush vegetation often forming captivating vistas in the countryside.
