You will be picked up by the bus from your hotel in Guilin between 7:00 am and 8:00 am depending on your hotel location. Your guide will then drive you to Longsheng County (approx. 2-3 hours northwest of Guilin).
Upon arrival in Longsheng County, begin your visit at Zhuang and Yao Villages, two of the many ethnic minorities in China. Your guide will provide comprehensive information about the culture and traditions of the Zhuang and Yao, and you will have the opportunity to see their unique and colorful clothing, listen to the melodious folk music, enjoy the playful folk dances and also see their weaving and embroidering art. Afterwards enjoy a local lunch before traveling to the Longji Rice Terrace.
Enjoy a hike up to the summit of the Longji Rice Terraces at an elevation of 2,886 ft (880 m). A half-hour hike offers an amazing panoramic vista of this incredible feat of farm engineering. The ethnic minorities moved to these mountains during the Yuan dynasty and, as they are mainly an agricultural society, they created the rice terraces so they could continue farming on the side of the mountains. From the peak the Terraced Rice Fields resemble the backbone of a dragon twisting and turning into the distance. The terraces divide the mountain into multiple layers. Tiers of water glisten in the sun during the spring, lush green rice shoots appear in the summer, layers of golden rice flourish in the fall, and layers of snow cover the terraces in the winter. When the tour ends, your bus will take you back to you hotel.
