The Most Beautiful Terraced Fields in Guangxi

🌾【A Guide to the Fairyland of Longji Rice Terraces】Venture into the earth's fingerprints in the clouds and capture stunning pastoral photos!📸 📍Jinkeng Dazhai · The Terrace Maze 🌄Sunrise Exclusive: Be at the "Thousand-Layer Terraces" viewing platform by 5:30am Watch the morning mist rise from the spiral terraces and capture the Tyndall effect of the first rays of sunlight piercing the sea of clouds. 👗Outfit Inspiration: Tie-dye blue skirt + silver choker. Instantly blend in with the Red Yao culture. 📍Ping'an Village · Ink Wash Corridor 🌾Autumn Splendor: Golden rice waves roll in late September. Use a drone to capture an aerial view of the giant "Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon" totem. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the full golden splendor. 🎑Nighttime Surprise: Stay in a stilt house with a terrace and use long exposure to photograph the starry river above the terraces dancing with fireflies. 📍Guzhuang Village · Time-Lapse Film 🌱Early Summer Secret: Mirrored terraces appear in May during the irrigation period. The water-filled ridges resemble silver chains winding around the mountain ridges. Wear a long white dress and stand on a ridge to capture a stunning reflection. 🚶♀️Hiking Route: Start from the Wind and Rain Bridge and follow the bluestone path through a thousand years of terraced field history. ✨Hidden Gems: ✅Learn to braid colorful hair with a Yao grandmother (bargain down to 10 yuan/6 braids!). ✅Try freshly pounded bamboo rice + wild bayberry wine. ✅Wait for a fiery sunset over the terraces. DM for mobile photo editing parameters. 🏡Accommodation Guide: ✔️For panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, choose Xishan Shaole. ✔️To photograph the morning mist, stay mid-mountain. For budget-friendly options, choose hostels in Tiantou Village. ✔️Stilt houses have poor sound insulation. Earplugs + mosquito repellent patches are recommended. 🚗Transportation Tip: Guilin Airport → Scenic Area Bus 3h (motion sickness medication is a must for the winding mountain roads). Renting a car and driving yourself is recommended. You might encounter a lively Yao ethnic market day along the way!
