Longji Terraces
I rarely use the word "stunning" to describe a place! Until... (Guide version).
Until I encountered the magnificent scenery of Longji Terraces! I was so lucky to see the stunning beauty of Longji Terraces just before the rice harvest. I finally understood the saying: No words can compare to seeing it with your own eyes.
🌾 This year's harvest date: October 27. If you want to see the terraces, hurry up! If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year.
📸 Photography guide:
To see the terraces at Longji, you can choose Jinkeng Village, Ping'an Zhuang Village, or Guzhuang Village. Jinkeng Village has the latest harvest and the most beautiful scenery. There are three viewing platforms here: No. 1 Xishan Shaole, No. 2 Thousand-Layer Ladder, and No. 3 Jinfo Top Viewing Platform, which is the highest and can be reached by cable car. If you choose to hike, I highly recommend the No. 2 Viewing Platform! It's a 20-minute climb from the mountainside homestay. Locals highly recommend the No. 2 Viewing Platform, claiming it has the best views.
🎫 Ticket: CNY 80 per person.
🌾 Best photo spots:
✔️ "Mountain for a Thousand Years" is a homestay located halfway up the mountain, offering panoramic views of the terraces. The courtyard and rooms are very photogenic, and the scenery is breathtaking.
✔️ The rice fields below "Mountain for a Thousand Years" can be photographed from the homestay's corridor. Even without a drone, you can take great photos.
✔️ Thousand-Layer Ladder: The viewing platform is spacious, and you can capture large areas of terraces from any angle. The only downside is that if you don't participate in the paid photography project, you can't go down to take photos.
🚘 Transportation: Longsheng is a county town with no high-speed rail station. You can take a bus from Yangshuo (Bilian Cave Parking Lot) to Jinkeng Village, which costs CNY 90 per person and takes about 4 hours. The bus from Guilin to Jinkeng Village costs CNY 50–65 per person (departing from the train station, prices vary by station) and takes 3 hours. Be sure to buy a direct ticket to Jinkeng Village, not to the Longji Terraces Ticket Office. The ticket office is 1 hour away from the village, and you need to transfer to a sightseeing bus, which is quite troublesome. It's recommended to drive yourself or hire a car from Guilin directly. Book your homestay in advance and arrange for the homestay manager to pick you up at the Jinkeng Village parking lot.
🏡 Accommodation: "Mountain for a Thousand Years" Viewing Homestay. If you can book a viewing room, don't book a regular room. The viewing room has a balcony and is beautiful and photogenic. The homestay's private dishes are amazing, especially the perilla duck, which is delicious. You can enjoy three meals a day here.
Seize the last week, and act now! If you miss it, you'll have to wait until next year!
Weekend Getaway 034|A Day of Slow Living in the Terraces
🌾 Guangxi, with its unique geographical conditions, boasts vast and spectacular terraces. Every year, before the rice harvest in September and October, it attracts a large number of tourists. It's a seasonal highlight you definitely don't want to miss ❤️
🌾 The terraces are located in mountainous areas and are relatively difficult to reach. Generally, you can take a high-speed train to Guilin Station and then transfer by bus or car. This time, we visited the Hongyao Village, which is inhabited by the Yao ethnic group. Nearby, you can also visit the Ping'an Zhuang Village.
🌾 Due to changes in economic conditions or government encouragement, many minority villages in the mainland are mostly uninhabited except for the elderly. However, Hongyao Village still has many real residents and several homestays where you can spend the night.
🌾 In the evening, take a leisurely walk from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, snapping some beautiful photos along the way. Enjoy a delicious local meal for dinner, make rice cakes with the homestay hostess in the evening breeze, and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. It's simply perfect ❤️
A beautiful homestay in Guilin Longji Terraces, a trip for a window.
Recently, I found a beautiful homestay in Guilin Longji Terraces Scenic Area, which is so attractive that I can't help flying to Guilin for it.
🛏Great accommodation experience: Contact the boss in advance when booking tickets, and there will be a car to pick you up to the parking lot, and the luggage will be delivered directly to the room, which is very convenient. The room facilities are comfortable, the design is attentive, and it is extremely relaxing.
📍Excellent location: Located on the top of the No. 2 viewing platform, you can watch the sunrise on the balcony, and the morning scenery is dreamy, which is simply a natural photography studio, and sisters who love photography must not miss it.
🍲Delicious food: You must try the braised chicken and bamboo rice for dinner, which are large in quantity and delicious. Spicy fried bamboo shoots are also highly recommended, and they are so delicious that you want to lick the screen. The service is considerate, and the boss is enthusiastic and thoughtful.
Location: Tiantouzhai in Longji Terraces Scenic Area, Longsheng.
If you are considering where to go for the National Day or October 1st, this homestay in Guilin Longji Terraces is worth a visit, and you can enjoy the comfort of living in the mountains in the pastoral scenery. 💗
Stayed at the hotel of my life in Longji.
The Longji terraces in September are really beautiful 🌾
You can see the sea of clouds outside the window when you get up in the morning
Casual shots are very healing 🌾
If you play in the Longji terraces, you must stay at this Yinmo Hotel!
The scenery is beautiful, the service is also super good, the key is really good shots
The first floor courtyard terrace has a wide view, and there is a rocking chair flower corner, really a casual shot is a big shot!
Living here, I don't want to go out, I just want to nest and drink coffee and enjoy a slow life
The service is also super intimate! The homestay provides a shuttle service to the Dazhai parking lot, which is super convenient! The breakfast is too rich! Soy milk fritters, white porridge, coarse grains, eggs and fruits, and their own cooked noodles! Really super super delicious! They also provide private dishes, fresh ingredients, and super taste!
The most absolute is that the room has an invincible terrace view!
Our room has a super large floor-to-ceiling window, and outside the window is a whole piece of terraces! It's really facing the terraces, you can see the excellent scenery without going out, it's so beautiful!
Come and copy the homework! This guide to Longji Terraced Fields is enough
Last month I went to Guangxi with my friends. When it comes to Guangxi, everyone knows that 'Guilin's landscape is the best under heaven'. In fact, around Guilin, there is another beautiful terraced field scenic area - Longji Terraced Fields, known as the 'crown of the world's terraced fields'.
Blue sky and white clouds☁, layers of terraces🌾, like a huge ink painting in front of my eyes, exactly the same as what I saw in the TV commercials, casually shooting is a big scene effect, I really regret why I only come now!
The terraces have different beauty in each season, the best check-in season is from May to October:
🌾May-June: Watering period, watch 'mirror terraces'
🌾July-September: Growing period, watch 'matcha green terraces'
🌾End of September-October: Autumn harvest period, watch 'golden terraces'
⛰️About the scenic spot:
Longji Terraced Fields is a large-scale terraced field group. Ping'an Terraced Fields and Jinkeng Terraced Fields are the main viewing areas. Ping'an was developed earlier and has more tourists. Jinkeng was developed later but is larger and has more viewing points. Therefore, we chose to stay in Jinkeng Terraced Fields this time for convenience.
🏠About accommodation:
There are many homestays in the Longji scenic area. We chose the Muye Chenxi Homestay, which is very close to the viewing platform. It takes 5-20 minutes to walk🚶🏻 to the viewing platform 1-2. The important thing is that I really like the design style of this homestay!
The overall design comes from the hands of British huang family architects. Whether it's design aesthetics or living experience, it didn't disappoint us. The room is very warm and tidy, and the terraced scenery is just outside the window, which is simply the life I long for~
The homestay also has a 180-degree viewing platform, which is very open and full of green plants🌿🌿. Sitting on the platform and looking into the distance, you can see the scenery of Longji Terraced Fields.
The afternoon tea is also very good, the coffee☕ and desserts🍰 are all professional. There are limited desserts in different seasons. I strongly recommend Double Chocolate Parlinne, Passion Fruit Basque, and Rum Cherry Chocolate. With a cup of coffee, sitting on the viewing terrace, blowing the mountain breeze, looking at the terraced scenery in the distance, it's so cool!
🥢About food:
There are no special restaurants in the scenic area. We all eat in the homestay, dining on the viewing platform, which is quite comfortable.
I didn't expect the food in the homestay to be delicious, very authentic mountain food: spicy chicken, bamboo rice, spring water fish, rice fragrant fish are all must-order. The ingredients are very fresh, and I, a person who doesn't usually like to eat fish, can't stop praising it~
🚘About transportation:
🚗The most convenient is of course self-driving. The homestay sends the location of 'Tiantouzhai Parking Lot' in advance, and the car can directly reach the door of the shop. The last section of the road is quite steep and narrow. The homestay very thoughtfully arranged for a driver to take us up.
🚌Guilin North Station/Guilin Station/Yangshuo-Longji Terraced Fields Jinkeng Dazhai Parking Lot (you can take a direct bus) The homestay is responsible for the transfer from Dazhai Parking Lot to the shop.
🎫About tickets:
Adult ticket: 80 yuan
Child ticket: 40 yuan

Dragons Backbone Rice Terrace in China 😍
The Longi Rice Terraces, often called the
"dragons backbone Rice Terraces because of its unique pattern and formation, are hands down some of the most impressive and incredible in the world.
Located in the remote mountains of Guilin prefecture in China, they are a prime example of the harmonious interaction between nature and humanity.
During the months of May and June, local Zhang and Yao minority farmers begin planting seeds and working to perfect the reflective water-filled terraces.
Visitors can get here by a 2 hour drive from Guilin city and hike for about 3 hours to get to the main observation deck.
Save the location below if you want to see these incredible landscapes and local villages!

Rice Terrace Walks
🚌 We took a 2 hour bus from Guilin City centre at 09:00 and back again at 17:30. You can book this through the local tour guide agencies around town.
🥾There is an option to take the cable car, but if you are moderately active, take the hiking path down instead. It will take you through some villages, houses and get you close up pictures with the rice fields.
🥟There are plenty of local food options at the start and top of the terrace. Pack your own food and snacks for some energy if you are hiking as there are only 2 stops along the way to buy water/ drinks. #riceterrace #naturelover #chinatravel #longjiriceterrace
Longji Dragon’s Rice Terraces 🐉
About 100 km from Guilin, the Longji Rice Terraces (Dragon’s Backbones) / Longsheng Rice Terraces (Dragon’s Rice Terraces) is a great place to hike and appreciate breathtaking terraced fields and experience the local ethnic folk culture of Zhuang and Yao people.
We had a delicious lunch at a local farmer’s residence.

Let me help you to plan your Guilin trip
So many emotions after Guilin trip, wow, even it was over Chinese New Year and we were never alone…
Let me share a short summary below, of what I found the best:
1. I suggest one full day for Guilin, all walkable (and hikable, if you dare). Absolutely not to miss Two Rivers and Four Lakes evening boat trip with great light show (and live show!). My pick for restaurant is Zen Sculpture Art Restaurant, if you find time to visit them, you will find out why
2. Longji Terraces is a must. Get a driver, you need two hours each way but it absolutely worth it, start early! Stop in minority village for super-long-hair show and try to leave it without buying a souvenir… Then go to Dazhai village and take a cable car, it is a bigger place. I suggest doing cable car both ways, then leave the 2nd half of the day for Pingan village. Second village deserves more time and more walking, including walking down. if you are a hiker or this is a top season, stay overnight and do two days there!
3. River Li Four Star 4-hour Cruise is the best to get for river+hills+20RMB views plus a nice lunch. Best you use this boat to transfer to Yangshuo to stay rest couple days there, otherwise you will enjoy 1.5 hour commutes later, like we did.
4. Silver Cave in Yangshuo is a must. Fantastic lights and views not to be missed. About 2 kilometers walk inside, not hard and so many wow moments, get your camera ready!
5. Peak Ruyi in Yangshuo is a best (and easiest!) way to get enough of top-of-the-mountain views. Good walks in between with good half a day needed for this all together. Can be crowded but the place is really big. Please enjoy the glass flour walks, they are fun, uh!
6. Guilin Romance Show in Yangshuo is a great way to get a nice performance in the evening (best shows starts then), buy a closer ticket and enjoy the show
These are my top 6 picks, hope it will help you with your trip planning and let me know if I missed something big to come back ;) #planyourtrip
Longji Rice Terraces
Longji Rice Terraces Scenic Area is very large and have 3 main villages. From Guilin it's around 1 and half hour drive. There is a big parking place and then electric car drive you to the hotel. You can spend one or two nights there and enjoy in a view and amazing nature. Food is also very good, try some local dishes and there is a lot of hotels with a good view from the room. Try to go there when it's not holiday so you can enjoy in peace and feel that vibe to maximum. #longjiriceterrace #guilin #mytripvlog
A trek to Longji Rice Terraces
#china #guilin #wintergetaway
Visiting Longji rice terraces was one of the top things on my list on my last trip to Guilin. We went during winter season, so the terraces were filled with water and reflected the warm sun as we hiked up the hills to see them.
We loved not only the beautiful views, but also the hospitality from the local minority people who walked us there and also fed us in their home with traditional bamboo cooked rice.
Longji Rice terraces 🌾 THE BEST in China
#fallingforfall
Pictures speak louder than words ✌️
How to get there: local bus or Didi
What’s to see: rice, rice everywhere
Costs: free
Time needed: full day, best stay in a local homestay up the hill and make it a weekend trip

Don’t forget to bring your drone for some of these beautiful aerial shots 🛸
IG: andykoh_m8 #germaninchina #travellifestyle #aroundtheworld
It is breathtakingly beautiful 😍 😍😍.. plan well though… and contact your hotel if you need to get a driver to take you to the terrace. Specifically if you are staying in the city centre of Guilin. But take the time, spend the money and go. It’s more than worth it 🤗
Rice Terrrace
Longsheng Mountain Rice Fields
Getting There - Reach Guilin and then hire a taxi to reach the destination(Don’t miss the beautiful scenery in the view)
Attractions - Rice Fields, Traditional Long Hair Women(They never get the haircut)
Hotels - Local and Traditional Hotels to make you feel attached to the nature
Food & Restaurants - Many Local restaurants serving the food with love and specially the rice grown there
Shopping - Nothing as usual but you can buy the famous rice from them
Best time to visit is September - Early October to get the best view because after that the locals cut down the rice fields
Longji Rice Terrace
The Longhorn Rice Terrace, located in the town of Longji, which is roughly 100 kilometers from Guilin, China. There are lots of tourists agent provide one day trip from the city of Guilin. If you have never seen Rice Terrace before, this one is a must go. The view is so spectacular. There are choices of cable car or climb up. I choose not to take cable car this time, and the hiking is not bad at all. The view is fantastic along the route and you can even see some old villages along the route. The view on the top is even more great though, so if you are not a sport person, maybe just take the cable car. This place is more beautiful in fall time, but prepare for lots of tourists if you chose to go during the busy season
Beautiful Rice Terraces
A wonderful day trip from Guilin. We arranged a private driver to take us as it was very hot and didn't want to spend the entire day exposed. There are, however, several options for organised tours available with the tourist agencies in Guilin.
The drive from Guilin is nothing short of beautiful and the terraces are spectacular. Several villages on the way to stop for refreshments.
We left after lunch and had enough time to visit only one of the terraces. If you go early in the morning you will be able to visit all three and visit the village where the women have very long hair.
The cable car is a quick and easy way to get to the top of the terrace, but you can also hike up if you have more time.
An incredible monument to human labor💪💪💪
This is definitely one of the most mindblowing attractions that we've visited in China so far! It is hard to believe that all these terraces are made by hands of peasants under the shining southern sun! We would definitely recommend to take a cableway first upon arrival and to take a small hike to your hotel after to get immediate dive into local atmosphere!
🚕🚎🚌 It is convinient to get here from Guilin by bus, that departures from Xiangjiang hotel ( 广西壮族自治区桂林市象山区环城西一路141号) around noon. It is a long distance bus, that goes without stops through really picturesque mountains!
🏞🏔🗻 This is a perfect place for hiking, with absolutely amazing roots. There are short and long trails, pretty wild and developed ones, designed to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. Everyone will be definitely able to find one suitable for themselves!
🏚🏠🏡 You can find all kind of boutique hotels here - not only fancy and glamorous, but also very simple and authentic options.
🍟🍔🍕 Local authentic Chinese cuisine is available more or less everywhere in small villages along terraces, but finding some European cuisine can be little bit challenging. Be aware that there are no McDonalds, KFC and other fast food chains here, but you can always enjoy a bowl of famous delicious local noodles pretty much everywhere.
Overall, we could definitely say, that these rice terraces should be 'must visit' on your travel list, highly highly recommended!

Spectacular Longji Rice Terrace Views
Getting There - From Guilin North Station, buy a bus ticket to the the Longji Rice Terrace scenic area (1.5 hours). Once you've reached the ticket office, you can take the shuttle bus (30 minutes) to Longji Ancient Zhuang Village, Ping'an Village, or Dazhai Village, the three villages that serve as gateways to the breathtaking hillside rice fields.
Attractions - Longsheng County is home to the famous Longji Rice Terraces, a mind-boggling feat of agricultural engineering. The seemingly endless rows of rice terraces carved into the hillsides are said to resemble the rippling scales on a dragon's backbone when filled with water, giving the terraces their name, which literally means "dragon's spine."
Accommodation - Staying overnight in a traditional wooden guesthouse is another great experience. There are many such guesthouses in the villages that overlook the rice terraces, but be aware that their conditions and services are not comparable to hotels in the big cities.
Food - Visiting these minority villages is also a great opportunity to try some local cuisine; some of the best-known dishes include rice or chicken cooked inside fresh bamboo tubes. Definitely worth a try!
Exquisite escape to the Longji Rice Terraces
Overall - Wow! This hotel felt like something straight out of a mountain cabin dream. We drove here from Guilin and arrived to the property after a 15 minute walk up the town road. We were greeted by our lovely hosts upon arrival, who helped us settle in and made sure we had everything we needed.
Room - Our room was excellent. Very clean and organized. It came with two beds and a spacious balcony with a view of the Longji Rice Terraces. It also smelled incredible because of the wooden architecture. The details of wooden carvings throughout our room and hotel were beautifully intricate.
Nearby Activities - About a 10 minute walk from the hotel sits the famous Longji Rice Terraces. We hiked up to the top and headed back down through a quaint town filled with stunning character and unique surprises along the way. It was an interesting experience being the only tourists to visit at the time, so we had a clear view of the surroundings. I was able to fly my drone over the Terraces and the beauty of this landscape is truly astounding!
Food - We had a delicious dinner of Bamboo Rice and chicken. A dish that is famous to the local area and quickly became a favorite staple to our meals on the rest of the trip.
Thank you to Jason and his wife for making us feel so welcome! We had the best time. If you are staying in the Longji Rice Terrace area, I cannot recommend this hotel enough! 10/10!

Lonji rice terraces near Guilin. slow and laborious drive up the mountains but many spectacular sights. a lot of new development going on. maybe losing some of its rustic charm.
#tripaway
The Longji Rice Terraces are among the most impressive I have ever seen! Getting here takes you through the mountains, beautiful valleys, and windy roads. The entrance is free, and the view priceless. My tip is to stay at one of the nearby farm home stays, that way you get an authentic experience and support the local community, it’s a combo that makes for an unforgettable trip :)
This area of China is also located fairly close to Yangshuo, which is a town surrounded by many rivers and karst mountains that seem out of this world, and surely are among my top 3 favorite landscapes that I got to see in China. Have you been? If so, what are some of your favorite places? I would love to know! #longji #china #explore

Longji terraces can be divided into four concentrated villages: Xiaozhai Hongyao terraced fields, Jinkeng Hongyao terraced fields (Dazhai), Pingan Zhuang terraces, and Longji ancient Zhuangzhai terraces. The ticket office is outside the village. After buying the ticket, there are 3 other villages in Dazhai and Xiaozhai.

Notes
1, the mountain road twists and turns, the motion sickness is prepared in advance for anti-halation.
2, the goods on the mountain store are all manpower or scorpion back, plus the scenic area, so the price is higher, reference: a bottle of water 5 yuan.
3, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, you must remember to bring a thin coat.
4, don't bring your suitcase, don't bring your suitcase, don't bring your suitcase! !

One is to store the donkey, only the necessities, 30 yuan a password cabinet; The second is to spend money to hire people to carry the inn, 20-inch small box 30 yuan, according to distance and weight prices will also change.
About accommodation
: No.1 is suitable for watching the sunrise near Taitai, so it is recommended to stay here as much as possible. Recommend two hotels, respectively:
(preferred hotel, you can watch the sunrise directly in the landscape room, there is no cover, whether it is at the hotel or the distance to the various landscape stations, Very suitable)
panoramic floor (the view is superb, but the way of arrival is extremely painful, because you have to climb to the highest landscape station, and carry luggage, especially to other viewing platforms.)
Food recommendation
bamboo rice cooker and bamboo tube chicken, Lo Han Guo water.
In the southeastern part of Longsheng County, Guilin, there is a large-scale terraced group, such as a chain-like belt, winding from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, hills like snails, mountains like towers, layers stacked, high and low. Its lines are flowing, smooth and smooth; its scale is magnificent and magnificent, and this is the Longji terraces.
The landscapes vary from year to year, spring comes, the water is full of fields, such as string of silver chain hanging in the mountains; summer solstice, Jiahe Tucui, like rows of green waves from Tianxia; Jinqiu, rice spikes, like a seat The golden tower top Yuyu; winter, snow Zhaofeng years, if the ring ring white jade cloud. This kind of scene can be called a great spectacle on earth. Interestingly, in this vast world of terraced fields, the largest piece of land is only one acre, most of which can only be planted in one or two rows of broken fields, so there is a saying that the clothes cover the fields.
Climb a night at Tian Hao, hoping to see the most beautiful night sky.
