Day Trip to Longji Rice Terraces in Guilin, China 🇨🇳

My day trip to the Longji Rice Terraces in Guilin was breathtaking from start to finish. The journey through winding mountain roads revealed stunning views of the terraced fields cascading down the hillsides. Arriving at the village, I was greeted by the lush green patterns that covered the landscape like a natural work of art. The air was crisp, and the sense of tranquility was overwhelming. As I hiked up the terraces, each turn offered even more impressive views. Along the way, I encountered friendly locals from the Zhuang and Yao ethnic minorities, learning about their traditional way of life. The panorama from the top was worth every step, with the terraces stretching out endlessly, creating a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience. #summerdestinations #china #chinatrip #chinatravel #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Nanshan Pasture

Nanshan Pasture

Nanshan Pasture is known as China's number one pasture, located at the border of Hunan and Guangxi, part of it belongs to Longsheng in Guilin, and another part belongs to Chengbu in Hunan. We set off from the direction of Longsheng Furong, driving from Xiaonanshan to Hunan's Dannanshan, stopping along the way. The scenery along the way is too beautiful. It was only on this trip that I realized that grasslands are not just the plain type; it was also my first time seeing dairy cows, and those wind turbines really look like giant windmills, which combined with the grasslands have a certain childlike charm. Dairy cows can often be seen lying down and resting comfortably by the roadside without their owners, all free-range. They seem to have no curiosity about cars and humans. When I got out of the car to take a close-up photo next to a dairy cow, it cooperated by looking at the camera as if it was used to it, like an old actor When we reached the grassland, we pitched tents and parked the car nearby, ready to access our camping gear. Next to us were real big 'toys' like planes and tanks with historical traces, which gave a great sense of security. As the sun set, the sunset was beautiful and spectacular, far more so than what photos can convey! The weather turned cold suddenly at night, and since we were camping in tents, our prepared cotton clothes came in handy. With waterproof mats and sleeping bags, we didn't catch a cold, and the two of us slept quite well in one tent. Inside the tent, we unzipped the roof and saw many twinkling stars. (Note: We were wearing short sleeves when we left Guilin) At night, we were woken up by some noise, which turned out to be other tent mates. They found that free-range horses and cows were passing by our tent at night and drove them away, then went to the car to keep watch for us. Yes, the horses and dairy cows here are all free-range, and they find their own places to sleep at night, just so casual! The next day, we woke up at 5 am, ready to welcome the sunrise. We stayed very excited until 6 am, it was everyone's first experience, and we checked off both sunrise and sunset, and in such a vast place. Later we went horseback riding. Since the two girls were timid, the horse keepers led us with ropes, while the other braver mates went on their own, really incomparable. We also went to Laoshanjie later, which is the first difficult mountain that the Central Red Army crossed over Shaoyang, marked by Lu Dingyi. Three Red Army troops passed through here, and after learning some red culture, we returned. On the way back, we took another route, not through Longsheng. We also bought a lot of Nanshan Pasture's yogurt as a special souvenir. It's really rich and different from the yogurt you buy in stores, and it's also worth checking in.

Peaceful Mountain Cabin-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 starT& Give Feedback on the rest of the trip. Share Thank you to Jason and his wife for making us feel so welcome!

Longji Rice Terraces, cascading like poetry. From a high vantage point, the verdant terraces unfold like a scroll of paintings, with sunlight sprinkling and the water shimmering.

This place is not only a gift from nature but also a harmonious coexistence between humans and the natural world.

Breathtaking China

The rice fields of Guilin, especially those in Longji (Dragon's Backbone) terraces, are a breathtaking sight. Stretching across the rolling hills, these tiered fields are a masterpiece of ancient agricultural engineering. Depending on the season, the terraces transform—flooded with water in spring, lush green in summer, golden in autumn, and frosty in winter. Walking through the villages, you’ll meet local ethnic minorities, like the Zhuang and Yao people, who have cultivated this land for centuries. The panoramic views, especially at sunrise or sunset, make Guilin's rice fields a must-visit destination for nature and culture lovers alike. #chinatrip #instatravel #architecture #scenicspotguide

Beautiful Rice Terraces

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.

Recommended attraction: Longji Scenic Area.

Recommended attraction: Longji Scenic Area.

Longji Scenic Area in Guilin is famous for its unique terraced landscape. However, in such a charming scenic area, there is a free terraced scenic spot that does not require a ticket and can be visited freely - Ma Hai Village. After entering the gate of Longji Scenic Area, tourists usually need to buy tickets to go to the famous Longji Terraces and Jinkeng Terraces. But if you tell the staff that your destination is Ma Hai Village, then you will be able to avoid the ticket purchase process and easily enter this quiet and charming place. Along the way, you will pass many Zhuang villages, each with its unique culture and scenery. You can stop at any time, communicate with local residents, and feel their life and culture. Although Ma Hai Village is not a popular tourist attraction, it has its own unique charm. The atmosphere here is quiet and relaxed, without noisy tourists and complicated commercial atmosphere, only the tranquility and freshness of nature. It is worth mentioning that Ma Hai Village still retains the traditional ancient papermaking and wood carving crafts. These traditional crafts not only represent the local culture and history, but also attract many tourists to watch and learn. In Ma Hai Village, the Half Mountain Book Bar is one of the must-visit places. Here, you can find a good book, taste a cup of strong coffee, and enjoy a cozy afternoon. The architectural style of the book bar complements the surrounding natural environment, providing tourists with a quiet reading and rest space. In addition, the Maozhu Pond in Ma Hai Village is the highest point of the entire terraced landscape. When you come to Ma Hai Village, you must not miss Maozhu Pond. Overlooking the entire terraced landscape of Ma Hai Village from here, you will be shocked by this magnificent natural scenery. At the same time, the passion fruit in Maozhu Pond is also famous far and near. You can contact local villagers for picking experience and feel the joy of harvest.
