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.

Wonderful Trip to Longji Rice Terraces; Jeff Made the Experience!

5.00Jeff was such a great host! He was very funny and caring, and an excellent storyteller. He really made the entire experience so much better than it could have been. He was also patient with us during the tour and stayed with us until much later in the evening than anticipated. The tour itself was fantastic. We went to the Ping'an rice terraces and visited the Huangluo Yao Village and got to see the spectacular Yao women and their long hair. Lunch was great and very reasonably priced. Learning about tea picking and sampling the various teas in the evening was an unexpected joy! Thank you, Jeff, for making our experience so wonderful!
Enjoyable experience!

5.00We are a group of 6 friends who booked Jerry for this tour. Communication with him up to the day of trip was smooth. He was responsive and helped in the many questions I had and provided tips too. The trip with him to the rice terrace was enjoyable and he was accomodating to our needs. He was not available in the next day for another day outing in Yangshuo and he arranged for anorher English driver guide Jacky for us. Jacky was also attentive and took good care of us. Thank you very much Jerry and Jacky!

5.00Jerry provided a great tour for my partner and I. Hotel pickup was very easy, and perfectly on time. Very relaxed drive to the area, with Jerry providing lots of snippets of knowledge along the way. Had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone considering.
Beautiful Visit to the Rice Terraces!

5.00Beautiful visit to the rice terraces. Our guide Jerry offered to take us to the Dazhai section, which I highly recommend—quieter, more dramatic landscapes, a nice cable car ride up followed by an easy hour-long walk down. Really peaceful afternoon with stunning scenery. Jerry was also helpful in assisting us to arrange other activities in town. Great experience!

5.00I had an absolutely wonderful experience on this private tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the region. The rice terraces were breathtaking, and the Dazhai area was incredibly beautiful even in March, with a unique charm and peaceful atmosphere. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire experience. The tour was very well organized, and I especially appreciated how my request for a longer hike was fully accommodated. This made the experience even more memorable, allowing me to truly immerse myself in the stunning landscapes. The visit to the Yao women’s long hair show was another highlight for me—I found it both fascinating and culturally enriching. I also want to highlight the excellent service throughout the day. The private tour was conducted in a new and very comfortable car, and Jackie—who was both my driver and guide—was extremely professional, kind, and attentive. He drove very safely, which made me feel relaxed at all times, and went above and beyond to ensure everything matched my expectations. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish.

5.00Jerry is a very passionate tour guide with many of years of experience in the industry. The tour might seem pricey compared to other offers, but if you think it’s private tour, the deal is pretty good. When I say private, I means that if you’re travelling on your own like me, the tour still runs for you only. The tour covers impressive sceneries across the mountain area of Longshan, including some ethnic minorities villages. I’ve been in January, so most of the businesses were closed, bit guaranteed a much more relaxed experience in terms of crowds. The hike is not particularly hard if you’ve a basic fitness level, although includes several steps climbing up. Even it wasn’t the right season, the rice field offered beatiful scenarios and relatively warm weather. Room for improvement I would probably include in the fee the admission fee and the lunch, to be more competitive with the price and guarantee a more hassle-free and smooth experience for the travellers.
Superb family experience

5.00Jeff is a great guide! He knows the whole story and speaks very good English. He was raised in the rice paddies area so he can answer any questions you have. It suits your needs and tastes. I recommend it 100%. I am very satisfied. 🫶
