Visiting the Longji Rice Terraces in early November, it was drizzling. The rice was ripe, and the layers of golden rice fields, set against the backdrop of the misty rain, had a poetic beauty that made one marvel at the diligence and resilience of our Chinese ancestors.
1. Autumn deepens, the sunlight bathes the world in a warm glow, even worries seem gentler.
2. Autumn has arrived, and the air is filled with the aroma of roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes, as warm as a familiar embrace.
3. Leaves fall gently in the autumn breeze, like letters from the past, telling tales of autumn's tenderness and tranquility.
1. Autumn is a poem, each fallen leaf a rhyming note, writing the story of time.
2. Autumn is nature's ink painting, its rich colors blending to create a serene and profound poetic atmosphere.
3. I wander through autumn's tapestry, encountering every golden hue, collecting the romance that belongs to autumn.

Maozifeng Tourist Area is a popular destination for ginkgo viewing in Guangdong during autumn. I've compiled several real-life traveler reviews to help you gain a comprehensive understanding of the area.
This table summarizes Maozifeng's key experiences and key visitor feedback, giving you a quick overview.
Item Review Summary
Core Attractions: The golden Ginkgo Avenue (Golden Avenue) in late autumn, the densely packed ginkgo trees of Xiaofangping, and the nostalgic atmosphere of the old forest farm houses.
Visitor Experience: High photo yields, fresh air, and distinctive farmhouse cuisine. However, the scenic area's shuttle bus experience is subpar, with winding mountain roads prone to motion sickness. Peak season sees a high number of visitors.
Suitable for: Photography enthusiasts, families, or groups seeking a short autumn getaway.
Value for money: Reasonable ticket prices, but the necessity of the shuttle bus is controversial, and some areas within the scenic area are quite expensive.
🍁 Highlights and Experiences
Maozifeng Scenic Area's greatest draw is its unique autumn scenery and unique forest farm atmosphere.
Golden Fairytale World: The scenic area is most famous for its Golden Avenue. In late autumn, the towering ginkgo trees, adorned with golden leaves, flank the yellow-tiled houses, blue-windowed gray tiles, and red lanterns, creating a vibrant, vibrant canvas. Furthermore, Xiaofangping's ginkgo trees, due to their short, dense clusters, often turn yellow first, making them ideal for close-up portraits.
· Nostalgic Forest Farm Charm: Along the Golden Avenue, preserved forest farm buildings from the 1970s remain. Their red brick walls and peeling paint signs bear witness to time, creating a uniquely nostalgic backdrop for your photos.
· Authentic Mountain Forest Experience: The farmhouses here are highly acclaimed for their fresh ingredients, including free-range chicken, river fish, and local specialties like ginkgo stewed chicken and stuffed tofu. Many visitors also praise the fresh air, calling it a premium "forest oxygen bar."
⚠️ Things to Note
While the excitement is palpable, there are also some practical challenges you should be aware of.
· Transportation and Congestion: A scenic shuttle bus is required to reach the main attractions, and the winding mountain route is recommended. Those prone to motion sickness should be prepared. The scenic bus ticket costs 30 yuan. Officials recommend purchasing it due to the scenic area's vastness, but some visitors find the experience mediocre. Furthermore, the peak season for viewing the ginkgo trees (usually from early November to December) is very busy.
· Consumption and Experience: Prices for items like mineral water at the scenic area's convenience stores are slightly higher than those outside. Some visitors have noted that while the core areas of Golden Avenue and Dafangping are the highlights, the area's accessible areas are relatively concentrated, and excessive crowds may hinder the depth of the experience.
💎 Summary
Overall, Maozifeng Scenic Area is an excellent destination in Guangdong to experience the golden romance of autumn, especially for photography enthusiasts and those planning short autumn trips.
For a better experience, we recommend:
· Off-peak travel: Try visiting on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds.
· Keep an eye on the leaves: Before your trip, it's best to check social media or travel websites for the latest updates on the ginkgo leaves' yellowing.
· Manage your expectations: View it as a refined autumn viewing spot rather than a sprawling, integrated scenic area; this will yield greater satisfaction.
I hope this detailed review will help you make a decision. If you have any questions about local accommodation or other details
Hat Peak Tourist Scenic Area is really a fairy place! You can see the beautiful scenery without running far away, the mountains and clear waters are beautiful like paintings, and the air is fresh enough to fill and sell money! Come here in summer to escape the heat, the shade of the tree is cool like a natural air conditioner, the mountains are full of golden ginkgo leaves in winter, and a shot is a blockbuster in the circle of friends! The mountain road here is very comfortable, and the elderly and children can easily stroll around. The food of the farmhouse is fragrant and the tongue is dropped, the local chicken river is fresh and fresh, and the price is real. The most amazing is the starry sky homestay. You can count the stars in bed at night, which is romantic! The staff is also enthusiastic, and someone will guide you at any time if you get lost. It's an hour's drive from the city, and it's just a weekend away. The price of the ticket is conscience, and it is not heavy for a whole day, which is much more comfortable than the crowded Internet celebrity attractions! The scenery in the four seasons takes turns to change the skin, the wild flowers are everywhere in spring, and the forests are stained in autumn. I don’t want to go at all~

Although the rice has been harvested, the scenery is still beautiful. The scenic area has thoughtful service. My drone fell into the ditch due to lack of power. The scenic area arranged security guard Xiao Yu to help search for more than half an hour without any reward. I am very grateful to the high-quality staff of the scenic area.
The Jiabang Rice Terraces truly live up to their reputation. Whether it's the breathtaking sunrise or the tranquil sunset, you'll truly experience the beauty created by humanity and nature. This breathtaking scenery, straight out of a painting, is not to be missed.

It's just so-so~~ Compared to the price, it's just so-so, with average cost-effectiveness~~~ There are many still life exhibits inside, and each person has a headset to listen to the explanation. If the children are more interested in history and culture, it's ok to walk for 2 hours, but I don't recommend eating osmanthus ice cream, it's too sweet, with a strong flavor of essence.
20230315 afternoon:
1. "Osmanthus Commune" is a new factory-run scenic spot with osmanthus as the theme. It presents the nature, humanities, applications and commodities of Guilin osmanthus in a comprehensive and detailed manner. The indoor audio-visual and scenery visual effects are shocking.
① Address: No. 18, Yangjiang Road, Xiufeng District, Guilin City.
② Transportation: Direct bus access, easy parking by car.
③ Peak season: None.
④ Time: 2 hours
2. The scenic spot has free guided tours, mainly indoors. Entering the exhibition hall, the welcoming mural is a nine-layer hollow carving painting, using the artistic expression of "overlapping colors". It is very beautiful after the tour guide turns on the lights. The content shows the top scholar, "Sun and Moon Twin Towers", Guilin landscape and other contents. Then we entered the history and popular science introduction hall of Guilin and osmanthus. Hanging above his head was a carbonized osmanthus seed that was confirmed to be 10,000 years old after carbon 14 testing. It was unearthed from Zengpi Rock in Guilin and is the earliest osmanthus seed in the world. The natural growth, varieties, and relationship of osmanthus with Guilin were introduced in the form of pictures, texts, wax figures, etc.
3. Entering the audio-visual hall, there is a 5D film introducing Guilin and osmanthus. The visual effects are magnificent and shocking, and the images of stepping on the ground make people feel like they are there. The popular science wall behind introduced the types of osmanthus. The next exhibition hall shows the application of osmanthus. Osmanthus is used in traditional Chinese medicine (there is a bronze sculpture of Li Shizhen compiling "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is a photo spot), osmanthus honey, aromatherapy, wine making, cosmetics, etc.
4. The next hall "Laoguan•Zhuangyuan Jidi" shows the relationship between osmanthus and the eight champions in Guilin's history. The colorful decorative lights above the head are densely hanging down like vast stars, and the color changes are extremely beautiful. The statue of the number one scholar holding a book and studying hard under the osmanthus tree turned the hall from a dream into reality. The semi-stereoscopic wall sculpture of the number one scholar, the simulated banquet before going to Beijing for the imperial examination (local officials would treat students to a meal before going to Beijing for the "palace examination" because the students would most likely serve as officials in the same court in the future), and the subsequent light and shadow animation were warmed up and paved the way. The animation was a segment of ancient figures projected on a painted relief painting, similar to a shadow play, and interpreted the last "three-level successor" in Chinese history (the first place in the provincial examination, the joint examination, and the palace examination. There are only 13 people in the 1,300-year history of the Chinese imperial examination, which can be regarded as a top scholar in ancient China that only appeared once every 100 years), the whole process of Chen Jichang from Guilin participating in the imperial examination and passing the imperial examination, eating osmanthus cake as a ration, and the strong Guilin style left a deep impression on me.
5. The next stop hall introduces the brewing of osmanthus wine. It is the first time I have seen the video of the star screen. It is very novel. The surrounding windows use colorful clay figures to introduce the brewing process of osmanthus wine. Then there is a visual feast of colorful wine bottles, densely packed ancient and modern wine bottles, and a wall composed of 2,888 bottles of dried osmanthus. With the help of mirror reflection, the visual effect is doubled. I can't help but admire the extraordinary skills of the designer of this scenic spot, but people with intensive phobia have to walk with their eyes closed.
6. Next is the children's amusement theme hall, where you can find the hidden osmanthus elves in the murals, which is similar to the game of "Everyone Come to Find the Difference". Further ahead are the ancient workshops and modern workshops of osmanthus products...
The word count exceeds the limit, and continue in the last picture.

It was quite interesting to stumble upon their Lusheng Festival. However, it was a little disappointing that after walking through the front garden, we turned back at the shopping street! Later we learned that the actual scenic area is inside the shopping street.
The iconic village of Dongxiang has distinct characteristics and profound cultural heritage. The drum tower and villages are well-arranged, and the ethnic crafts such as batik are well-experienced. The world's intangible cultural heritage Dong ethnic group's big song is natural, simple, grand and pure, the singing is beautiful, and the bonfire party is wonderful. Overall good reviews

It's worth a visit. The scenery may be beautiful in September and October. I went there in mid-May. It was just planted and not green yet.
You can drive to the scenic area by yourself. You can stop and get off the car at the viewing platform. There is not much shopping. There are a few villagers living there selling some specialties, but I really can't understand their speech.
The air is good, there are few people, and the experience is good!
There are food and drinks in the surrounding towns, which is more convenient.
The scenic area is very large, and you can only drive up the mountain by yourself. There is no shuttle bus or anything like that. If you have time and are not afraid of being tired, you can climb up the mountain. It is recommended to go up the mountain in the morning. If you go in the afternoon, the terraces will be backlit (I went in the afternoon, and it should be good to take pictures in the morning). The scenery is really good, and it feels only suitable for taking pictures and checking in. There are no other attractions. There are homestays and farmhouses on the mountainside. The scenic area is far from the city, so you can choose to stay for one night.

This is the only grassland in the south, and it's truly breathtaking. If you have the stamina, you can conquer every hilltop. Everywhere you look is green, incredibly soothing. We were lucky enough to see a sea of clouds; locals said they rarely see such a beautiful cloudscape. Highly recommended!
It's definitely worth a visit. In the morning, a thin mist hangs in the air, like a veil covering the sky. As the temperature rises, the clouds part and the sun shines through, revealing rolling meadows, leisurely flocks of sheep, distant windmills, and various castles, making you feel like you've stepped into a fairytale world.

The Jinkeng Scenic Area within the Longsheng Rice Terraces Scenic Area in Guangxi is the largest of the three scenic areas. You can drive directly to the entrance and then take a cable car up the mountain to admire the terraced fields.
The scenery is breathtaking. We visited in October, just before the rice harvest, and the golden terraces were a magnificent sight. The rice harvest will begin in a few days.
It's only a two-hour trip to this scenic area, after which you can explore other terraced fields.
In the morning, I embarked on a journey to Longji Terraces with anticipation. Along the way, the scenery outside the car window gradually changed from the hustle and bustle of the city to the tranquility of the countryside, and my mood became relaxed.
When we arrived at Longji Terraces, the sun was shining. Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up, the terraces are stacked layer by layer, like waves of the earth, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which is magnificent. The sun shines on the terraces, sparkling, as if covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze.
Climbing up the mountain road, you can feel the magic of nature with every step. The lines of the terraces are beautiful and smooth, like a scroll carefully drawn by nature. On the ridges, you can occasionally see hardworking farmers working, who are integrated with the terraces, forming a vivid pastoral landscape.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire terrace, the view is suddenly clear. The mountains in the distance are undulating, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the terraces are looming in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland. The breeze blew, and the rice ears swayed gently, making a rustling sound, as if telling an ancient legend.
The beauty of Longji Terraces lies not only in its magnificence, but also in the farming wisdom and cultural heritage it contains. This trip made me deeply feel the magic of nature and the wisdom of mankind, which made me unforgettable for a long time.

It's a good place with mountains and water, rich green plants, and beautiful scenery. It was raining in summer when I went there, and it was misty. If it was autumn, the colors would be more beautiful. I walked and talked with my husband and friends, and I was happy and comfortable. I met the legendary crystal flower. I will come to Jiangxi again.
Shangbao Terraces, a world irrigation engineering heritage, the most beautiful terraces, and a rural hometown. The scenery is nice, there are many activities suitable for children to play, and there are sightseeing buses. You can take a sightseeing bus to visit, which is not tiring at all, very good.

The scenery along the way is very good. The vegetation around the mountain road is lush. In addition, it is rainy and the clouds and mist are lingering in the mountains. It feels like being in a fairyland. The overall feeling is good! There are still many people playing during the Spring Festival. The climate is pleasant and very comfortable!
The mountain is very big, and because it is a holiday, there are many people and cars, so it is difficult to find a parking space. Although there are many parking spaces, they are on the side of the road. You have to drive up the mountain to get one. Because the road is small and there are many cars going back and forth, it is very slow and difficult to park the car. The staff's guidance is not enough. The scenery of the mountain is good, but you must climb to the top of the mountain.
