Popular Best Things to Do in Longsheng [2025]

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&#39;s tenderness and tranquility.

1. Autumn is a poem, each fallen leaf a rhyming note, writing the story of time.

2. Autumn is nature&#39;s ink painting, its rich colors blending to create a serene and profound poetic atmosphere.

3. I wander through autumn&#39;s tapestry, encountering every golden hue, collecting the romance that belongs to autumn.

There are two ways to get to Viewing Platform No. 3: the official cable car (100 yuan per person) and a private shuttle service provided by local villagers (60-80 yuan per person). The scenery of the Longji Rice Terraces is truly beautiful and spectacular. However, the guesthouse was a bit cold and had no hot water, so I didn&#39;t dare take a shower.

I arrived at the Longji Terraces at the end of the National Day holiday. There was no traffic jam, and the number of tourists was not crowded. The overall experience was good. Our family of four took a taxi directly to the Zhuangjie parking lot. We needed to climb a flight of stairs to the hotel, which was very close to the &quot;Thousand-Layer Sky Ladder&quot; of the No. 2 Observation Deck of Jinkeng Dazhai. The terraces were all yellow in October, which was very spectacular, as if living in an oil painting. I got up early and climbed up to the observation deck to watch the sunrise. The sun came out from the mountain, so it was half an hour later than the normal sunrise time, and the morning glow was also beautiful. You can rent ethnic costumes to take pictures, and the film output rate is high. The people on the mountain are very friendly and will take the initiative to say hello. The temperature difference between morning and evening on the mountain is large, and the mountain breeze is still quite cool at night, so you must keep warm.

The following is an introduction to Longji Terraces:
