There are 190 families with a population of more than 700 people. All the residents are Zhuang minority, with the same family name of Liao. The altitude here is from 380 meters to 880 meters above sea level. Here are two view points：“Nine Dragons and Five Tigers”, which means the nine dragon-like tendency mountains stretched from the top down to Jinjiang River (the Golden River), tasting the nice water. On the opposite, the five hill sides look like five tigers, squatting there as a guardian of the land. The terraces were cultivated in lines, some of which are like chains, while the others are like belts, forming a shape of snails or towers. In the ocean of terraces, there are 15, 862 pieces of fields, which are all in different shapes and sizes.

3.00It was expected that the journey would be long, but the stay was then too short and only two closely spaced lookouts were hiked.
Unforgettable experience

5.00The full day tour to the Longji rice terraces had been very nice. The scenery is really impressive. Not many Chinese tourists have been there in November either, which also made the tour enjoyable. Can highly recommend the tour. Everything worked out well and we also watched a sunset in the evening.
Informative tour with a friendly, engaging local

5.00This was a wonderful tour that I did one-on-one with my guide, Daniel. He took his time to explain the history of the rice terraces, discuss the history of tea in the region while allowing us time to actually sip the tea with a local, and when we had some extra time, he took me to explore other parts of the area, including a Yao village and the hair museum. I really learned so much from him, and would gladly do a tour with him again.
