Longji Rice Terraces & Villages Day Trip
Tour Details
China's rice paddies are world-famous for their unparalleled beauty. On this tour, you'll explore the iconic Longji rice terraces, one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Guangxi Province. Ready to step into traditional China?
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Guilin and, after a journey of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, we'll arrive in Longsheng, home to the impressive Longji rice terraces. You'll have about 1 hour to explore the terraces on your own. Built over 650 years ago, these terraces are a true feat of engineering, stretching between 300 and 1,100 meters (985–3,609 feet) above sea level.
Next, we'll head to the Huangluo Yao village, where you’ll enjoy 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time to explore the village and have lunch at your own pace. You'll fall in love with the views of the beautiful curves created by the rice fields!
Did you know that these fields are linked to dragons? Yes, dragons! In the village, you can attend the Long Hair Show, a sacred symbol of longevity and prosperity.
Finally, we'll visit the Dazhai Rice Terraces, where you can choose to hike or take the cable car... both options guarantee postcard-perfect scenery.
By late afternoon, we’ll regroup and head back to your hotel in Guilin. The total duration of the tour is approximately 8 hours.
