Longji Rice Terraces: Guangxi's sea of clouds fairyland, one ticket to enjoy the scenery of four villages

Located on the southeast side of Longsheng County in Guilin City, Guangxi, there is a place called Ping'an Village, where there is a particularly large group of terraced fields. These terraces start at the foot of the mountain and wind all the way to the top, distributed on mountains ranging from 300 to 1100 meters in height. The slopes of these terraces are quite steep, with some reaching an incline of 50 degrees. The terraces are layered, looking like clouds floating, with a particularly large scale, very spectacular. People call this place "Longji Rice Terraces". Address: Longji Town, Longsheng Various Nationalities Autonomous County, Guilin, Guangxi Ticket: 80 RMB per person Transportation: Bus from Yangshuo (Bilian Cave Parking Lot) to Jinkeng Dazhai 90 RMB per person, 4 hours Travel Tips 👀 There are several places to visit in the Rice Terraces, such as Jinkeng Dazhai, Ping'an Village, Guzhuang Village, and Huangluo Yao Village. I recommend going to Jinkeng Dazhai, where there are three viewing platforms to see the terraces, numbered 1, 2, and 3. The ticket is 80 yuan, and this ticket is valid in all three villages. If you want to take the cable car to Viewing Platform No. 3, it costs 55 yuan one way, 100 yuan round trip, and the ticket office is next to the parking lot of Jinkeng Dazhai. 👀 The scenery of the terraces includes the sea of clouds and sunrise, especially in the evening if the weather is good you can see the sea of clouds, but if you arrive when it's already dark, you won't be able to see it. The sunrise is also very beautiful, be sure to check the time in advance. The terraces have different scenery at different times, for example from April to June, the terraces are filled with water, which looks particularly beautiful; from July to September, the rice is growing, lush and green; October is the harvest period, the terraces are golden, but this period is very short. 🔥 If you want to visit, it is recommended to stay there for one night. You can watch the sea of clouds in the afternoon and the sunrise in the morning. The local specialty foods include bamboo tube rice, bamboo tube chicken (which might be a bit much for one person), cured meat, bamboo shoots, and Longji rice wine, especially the rice wine, be sure to try it.
