The most representative scenic spot of Longji terraces is Ping'an Terraces Fields, there are two unique landscapes which are " 9 Dragons and 5 Tigers"and "Seven Stars with the Moon" ,"9 Dragons" refers to the nine small ridges where the main vein of the Dragon's Ridge branches off, and "5 Tigers" refers to the five slightly raised hills here."Kowloon" and "Five Tigers" are all surrounded by terraces."Seven Stars" refers to the seven hills that were left behind when the sky was opened. The seven hills are stacked in the center of the seven fields. From a distance, they look like seven twinkling stars, guarding the curved part of the dragon's spine.Because of the existence of the "Five Tigers of Kowloon" and "Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon", Ping An Terraces is as beautiful as a broom pastoral. Walking into the this rice terraces,you will see the slopes are filled with overlapping terraces that go straight to the sky.The ring-shaped mountain that stretches looks like a huge dragon.

The trip includes pick up and drop off at the hotel. Our guide, Kevin, was very friendly and took the time to take us around the Longji terrace ricefields and explained some of the history of the area. Kevin was also very accommodating to my wife who is pregnant and led us on the easier hiking path. Kevin also took us to a lesser known view point of the elephant trunk mountain after our tour. We really enjoyed this experience and recommend booking this tour!

This was a great tour - the tour guide was brilliant. He accommodated impromptu stops for coffee and drinks, he was knowledgeable about the area and where we were walking past and what we were seeing. He gave me and my wife space as well, left us alone at times to explore, eat and enjoy the views. Genuinely enjoyed talking to him, and definitely added to the experience of the tour. He was more than just a driver to and from the rice fields!
The terraces are beautiful

Jerry was friendly and informative. I learned so much talking to him. However, I wish I would have just taken a didi to and from the terraces to keep costs low. The food was overpriced as well as the fees for everything else. It added up at the end.

Jerry’s tour was amazing from start to finish. He picked us up on time from our hotel in a really comfortable, spacious car. We did the long haired village, which was such a unique cultural experience. There was also a cute little coffee shop in the village, which Jerry recommended. A nice little surprise! We then went to the rice terraces and, although it was misty, Jerry went out of his way to make sure we could finally get a clear view of the terraces. My mum is elderly, but we didn’t feel rushed at any point. Since we’re vegetarian, Jerry also recommended a temple for us to have dinner in, which was great. Such a lovely guy! 10/10 recommend!
