Trip Moments Recommendations
Rice Terrace Walks
🚌 We took a 2 hour bus from Guilin City centre at 09:00 and back again at 17:30. You can book this through the local tour guide agencies around town.
🥾There is an option to take the cable car, but if you are moderately active, take the hiking path down instead. It will take you through some villages, houses and get you close up pictures with the rice fields.
🥟There are plenty of local food options at the start and top of the terrace. Pack your own food and snacks for some energy if you are hiking as there are only 2 stops along the way to buy water/ drinks. #riceterrace #naturelover #chinatravel #longjiriceterrace
The Stunning Rice Fields!
Longji Rice Terraces (Long Ji Ti Tian) is located in Longsheng County, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from Guilin and 140 kilometers (90 miles) from Yangshuo. The construction of incredible Longji Rice Terraces started in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) and lasted till the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
I spent two days here but could and should have spent longer. I stayed at the 360 panoramic hotel, which offers absolutely stunning views of the entire rice fields for an excellent affordable price.
This place is stunning to take walks on with your camera. You can either take the cable car up to the top of the mountain or you can walk up, if you like hiking. I also flew my drone up over the top of the mountains to get some stunning panoramic views of the entire terraces.

Longji Rice Terraces
Longji Rice Terraces Scenic Area is very large and have 3 main villages. From Guilin it's around 1 and half hour drive. There is a big parking place and then electric car drive you to the hotel. You can spend one or two nights there and enjoy in a view and amazing nature. Food is also very good, try some local dishes and there is a lot of hotels with a good view from the room. Try to go there when it's not holiday so you can enjoy in peace and feel that vibe to maximum. #longjiriceterrace #guilin #mytripvlog
Rice Terraces in the Autumn-Sun
Longji Rice Terraces, translated to Dragon’s Backbone Rice Terraces, have its name because the rice terraces look likw a dragon and the mountain range behind looks like the backbone of a dragon. They are maybe the most famous rice terraces in China, close to Guilin city in Guangxi.
I've been there twice, once in summer and in autumn. Autumn was more cooler and easy to hike.
📍 Longji Rice Terraces, Guilin, Guangxi
🏨 I recommend to sleep inside the scenic area for one night, in this case you can see the sunrise and also the sunset. So beautiful!

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.

Panoramic Rice Terrace View.
From Yangshou you have to travel around 1 and half hours by car to reach this picturesque Longji rice terrace 🚕. The cheapest way to travel here is by the tourist bus 🚌 but it takes almost more than 2 hours.
On the way to the terrace you can explore a beautiful village 🏘. The best way to go to the top of the terrace is by Cable car 🚠 which costs 60 RMB one way and 100 RMB two ways.
But I prefer to walk down the hill while coming back because you can enjoy the more beautiful closest view and also walking down is not so difficult.
