Longji Rice Terrace

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

Longji Terraced Fields consist of 8 large and small villages, the most famous of which are Jinkeng Village and Ping'an Village, and a small ancient Zhuang Village. 🎫Ticket combo: 80 yuan Although the scenery of Longji Terraced Fields in June is not the most beautiful It's not easy to come here once, so we came to play on the first day of self-driving Navigate 🧭 to Longji Terraced Fields, arrive at the parking lot, the ticket office is also here First stop: Navigate to "Jinkeng Terraced Fields" Play the farthest first, note ⚠️: the car can drive up The road is narrow, be careful when meeting cars After entering the Dazhai parking lot, we got lost and hungry There are many people on the side of the road beckoning to eat, and there is a grandmother who looks very kind Her restaurant is called "Country Bumpkin", and the grandmother cooks good dishes The price is also reasonable, and she took us to the second viewing platform after dinner In fact, a very small road on the left hand side of the Dazhai parking lot is the road to the self-driving viewing platform, and the parking fee at the entrance of the viewing platform: 10 yuan/time No need to take the cable car, the terraced landscape is magnificent, you can see the Golden Buddha Peak on the opposite side Thanks to the grandmother's guidance, the Jinkeng Terraced Fields are perfect and not pitted! Second stop: Ping'an Village Terraced Fields The scale and scenery cannot be compared with Jinkeng Terraced Fields The famous Nine Dragons and Five Tigers and Seven Stars with Moon viewing platforms are here As soon as the car drove into the parking lot, it was besieged First introduce how difficult it is to walk in the scenic spot, you must take a sightseeing bus Kindly accompany you to buy sightseeing bus tickets 50/person round trip In fact, there is no need to take a sightseeing bus at this scenic spot Parking fee: 7 yuan/hour, which is very expensive, almost catching up with the prices in big cities It's just a walk around the sightseeing platform... Longji Terraced Fields are fun, and I won't come again after coming once... The good mood in Guilin tourism has been completely ruined...

🚗 Self-driving: The mountain roads are narrow, so drive carefully 👀 🚕 Chartered car: Price is not specified, but it might be more convenient 😌 📱 Ride-hailing: Make sure the location is accurate, and don't just leave after stopping at the ticket office 🚦 🚌 Bus: Direct to Dazhai parking lot, convenient and fast 🚍 - Guilin North/West Station to Jinkeng Dazhai: 65 yuan per person 🎫 - Guilin Station to Jinkeng Dazhai: 50 yuan per person 🎫 - Yangshuo to Dazhai: 90 yuan per person 🎫 - Children under 1.2m half price, with seating 👶 🎫 Terrace ticket: 80 yuan per person, free for the elderly and children 👴👶, half price for students 🎓. The shuttle bus will charge at the entrance of the scenic area, and there is still some distance from Dazhai 🚗. The Longji Rice Terraces are vast, mainly divided into Ping'an Dazhai and Jinkeng Dazhai, each village has its own viewing platform, the scenery is similar, just choose one 🤔. If you have enough time, it is recommended to stay for a night 💤. I went to Jinkeng Dazhai: 🌄 No. 3 Golden Buddha Peak: You can take the cable car up and down, one-way 55 yuan, round trip 100 yuan per person 🚡. We walked back to the mid-mountain homestay from the cable car, and both the elderly and children were quite happy 😄. 🌄 No. 2 Viewing Platform Thousand Layers Terraces: It is said that you can drive near it, we walked there from the homestay, it took about 1 hour to get there, and there were Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon on the way 🌟. However, there was a heavy fog that day, and we couldn't see anything 😑. After waiting for a long time, the fog finally dispersed, we hurried to take photos 📸, but in a few minutes, it was foggy again 🌫. So if you encounter heavy fog, don't rush to leave, wait and see, the scenery is very beautiful 🌅. If you are physically fit, you can walk to each viewing platform, there are well-maintained stone steps, and there are many beautiful terraced fields along the way 🌱. If you have enough time, stay for a night, open the window in the morning, and the mist lingers, like a fairyland 🍃.

The terraces extend from the foot of the mountain to the top, layer by layer, stack by stack, poetic and picturesque, and beautiful. Each level has different heights and colors, like the notes of the earth, playing a harmonious and magnificent movement. In the center of the terraced fields, houses stand quietly there, they are the guardians of this golden world, and the symbol of farming culture.

Eight thousand miles of cloud and moon - Southward Memory Nine: The most beautiful terraces are Longji In late September, I came to the Longji Terrace Scenic Area in Longsheng Various Nationalities Autonomous County, Guilin, and stayed in the Longji Ping'an Village Homestay. In the early morning, I walked up the northwest of the village along the stone-paved plank road, and slowly walked to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the terraces. After walking for more than ten minutes, there were terraces faintly in sight, and soon, the outline of the terraces became clearer. I came to the terrace viewing platform and stood looking out. The terraces on the mountains are extremely beautiful, leaning on the slope, with clear levels and lines. The rice ears in the field are slightly drooping, with a little yellow in the green, blending with the continuous mountains and the vast sky, showing a soft beauty, dazzling and shocking. There is a road sign marked "Seven Stars with the Moon" on the side of the road. It is a great place to view the essence of the terraces. The Seven Stars with the Moon are seven small hilltop terraces surrounding a large hilltop terrace, like seven sparkling stars. Upon closer inspection, it does look a bit like it. This set of images has a strong visual effect, the terraces are majestic and beautiful, layered like rising tides, rushing forward with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, forming a world of oil painting terraces that flaunts power and beauty. The Seven Stars with the Moon takes the terraced rice farming culture as the main body, combines natural landscapes with ethnic minority cultural landscapes, and presents the world with great beauty. Walking and watching, indulging in the scenery, and enjoying the scenery in indulgence is a kind of enjoyment, a "romantic encounter" that can be met but not sought. The scenery changes with every step, and the scenery moistens the heart. Interestingly, in this ocean of terraces, the terraces are small clusters, the largest is only one acre, and most of them are small fields that can only grow two rows of grain, delicate and delicate. It is for this reason that the terraces are extremely beautiful. The terraces shine with the brilliance of ethnic minority culture. Half an hour later, I arrived at the "Nine Dragons and Five Tigers" viewing platform. It is also a unique landscape. The so-called "Nine Dragons" refers to the nine small mountain ridges that the main vein of Longji divides here, and "Five Tigers" refers to the five slightly protruding small hills here. There are already a few more tourists here, mainly young people. This viewing platform is carefully crafted, with multiple platforms at different heights for viewing, and prominent signs such as "World Terrace Hometown" and "Nine Dragons and Five Tigers", a proper internet celebrity check-in place. The terraces in front of me are extremely wide, and the beauty of autumn is intoxicating, and a shocking scenery is displayed in front of me. The lines of the terraces are like flowing clouds and flowing water, layer by layer from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Looking from a distance, it is winding and floating, high and low, uneven, and spectacular. In the center of these small mountain ridges and small hills of the terraces, there is actually a large area of Zhuang stilt buildings. The Zhuang people living here seem to be in a painting, and they seem to be in the fairy mountain of Yaochi. The Longji terraces are majestic and show a domineering atmosphere that dominates the world. It is the crown of the world's terrace landscape and is known as "the world's best". Before returning, I hurriedly walked around the village, because this is a large-scale Zhuang stilt building group, mostly orange-yellow. At noon, I left the Longji Terrace by car. I hope that while the Longji Terrace brings visual enjoyment and satisfaction to the world, it can also bring hope and wealth to the ethnic minorities who were born and grew up here. Longji Terrace

Day2: Longji Rice Terraces (Chartered car to Ping'an Village & JinKeng Dazhai) Booked a tour online for 736 for two people (Actually, there is a 130 yuan tour, but it requires a visit to the Long Hair Village You can only go to JinKeng Dazhai and the play time is very short I don't want to waste a day like this, this chartered car allows me to arrange as I wish) Including visits to Ping'an Terraces and JinKeng Terraces Ping'an requires a sightseeing car💰50/person✖️2 JinKeng can be reached by cable car or by climbing Cable car up, walk down (very steep😅) one-way💰55/person✖️2 Rest at noon The driver parked where most people were Some food from JinKeng was only seen at the foot of the mountain on the internet Actually planned to go to those shops to eat, it's not realistic to not stay here for the night So we just ate at the restaurant recommended by the driver As soon as we sat down, they started aggressively selling bamboo tube🐔 168 or 198 per chicken, actually, it's a 2.5-hour drive from the city People are so tired they want to vomit, no appetite at all So we ordered a bamboo tube rice and a tomato scrambled egg💰59 The bamboo tube rice is incredibly bad, I thought the hot springs in Guangzhou also have Not this kind of sticky rice, the sticky kind, too greasy to eat When we went, the water in Ping'an Terraces had already been drained It was drizzling, with mist swirling around In the afternoon, we went to JinKeng, the sun came out, and only half of the water was released Actually, the mirror-like terraces are really lacking something～ All green or all yellow would look better Went to eat Xinguo Ji Youcha at night, the queue was too long Went to the neighboring Jiefang Xiaoguan instead💰123 Vinegar-soaked chicken👍 Rice tofu beef brisket✖️(too sour) Accommodation is still the same Ouhua from yesterday💰281 Today's expenses: 736 + 100 + 110 + 59 + 123 + 281 Total: 💰1409

The Longji Terraces are really healing. They are also very photogenic, and any casual shot looks good. The scenic area is about 70km away from Guilin, about 50 minutes from Guilin. We didn't arrive at the scenic area until four in the afternoon. In order to reach the scenic spot as soon as possible, there are three terraced scenic areas in total; due to time constraints, we chose the relatively close Ping'an scenic area. If you have plenty of time, you can also choose other excellent routes. It's about 15km from the entrance of the scenic area to the parking lot. Because the road is quite narrow, I drive slowly, it takes about half an hour. Especially remind not to drive large SUV models up the mountain. It's not conducive to car pooling. It's quite time-consuming to change to a sightseeing car from the bottom of the mountain to the viewing platform area. If you don't stay overnight and want a relatively relaxed itinerary, at least reserve 4-5 hours of stay. If you are not in a hurry, I strongly recommend staying overnight in Longji, so you can enjoy the beautiful terraces at sunset or dawn. The ticket is 80 yuan per person, and the parking lot-viewing area is 30 yuan per trip.
