Longji Rice Terraces: The Dragon’s Backbone of China

Located in Longsheng, about 80 km from Guilin, the Longji Rice Terraces offer breathtaking views of tiered fields cascading down the mountains. Built by the Zhuang and Yao ethnic minorities, these terraces are a masterpiece of ancient agricultural engineering.

  • Hike to the best viewpoints at Ping’an and Jinkeng Rice Terraces, offering panoramic vistas.
  • Visit Huangluo Red Yao Village, home to women known for their extraordinarily long hair, and witness their traditional hair ceremony.
  • Experience local hospitality by staying overnight in a guesthouse overlooking the terraces.

Tip: Visit in May–June to see the terraces filled with water or in September–October for golden harvest views.
