The Longji Rice Terraces in Longsheng, Guangxi | Golden autumn, layer upon layer, thousands of waves of rice all dyed golden

With the golden October approaching, the Longji Rice Terraces before the harvest, thousands of waves of rice, are all dyed golden. The terraced fields, mountains, villages, and stilted buildings complement each other, creating an incomparably beautiful scene. The Longji Rice Terraces were started in the Yuan Dynasty and completed in the early Qing Dynasty, having witnessed the vicissitudes of time. The Zhuang and Yao ancestors who live here have, generation after generation, built ridges and opened fields in the deep mountains at an altitude of 1916 meters, asking for grain from the high mountains. They never dreamed that the achievements of their hard life would become the scenic spots of today. The Longji Rice Terraces are among the earlier developed terraces, distributed between altitudes of 300 meters to 1100 meters. They present different landscapes in different seasons, with the autumn terraces shimmering with light and color, the mountains covered in gold, and the layers of terraces surrounding the peaks like golden pagodas. The thousand layers of terraces, in light yellow, light green, and golden hues, have a dynamic three-dimensional feel, forming a vast and rich natural painting. The Longji Rice Terraces are composed of Zhuang and Yao villages, with Ping'an Village (Ping'an Terraces) and Jinkeng Dazhai (Jinkeng Terraces) as the core areas. Entering the scenic area, the rice ears in the terraces are heavy, winding from the foot of the mountain to the top, with small hills like snails and large mountains like towers, layered and staggered, very spectacular. The Nine Dragons and Five Tigers viewing platform, 'Nine Dragons' refers to the nine small mountain ridges that branch off from the main ridge of Longji Mountain here, and 'Five Tigers' refers to the five slightly protruding small hilltops here. All of the 'Nine Dragons' and 'Five Tigers' are surrounded and covered by terraces. 📍Detailed address: Longji Rice Terraces: Longji Town, Longsheng Various Nationalities Autonomous County, Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Ticket: 80 yuan per person
