Longji Rice Terraced fields are a Globally Important Agricultural Cultural Heritage. "Longji" gets its name because the mountain ridges look like the back of a dragon. Starting from Guilin! Let's explore the ethnic minority cultures and customs, experience the spectacular terraced fields, taste local cuisines, and enjoy the different beautiful sceneries of the terraced fields in four seasons. In spring, the terraced fields filled with water are like mirrors. In summer, they are green and full of vitality after rice seedlings are transplanted. In autumn, the rice is ripe become yellowing the rice fields. In winter, the terraced fields under the snow have softer and smoother lines, forming an elegant long ink-wash painting together with the mountains, bamboo forests and Villages

4.00My husband and I booked a private tour. Our guide and driver, Sundy, made it a unforgettable day. He is professional, knowledgeable and very friendly and he is discreet, being present when you need him, yet giving us enough private time. His English is also very good and he drives very safely. We would definitely recommend Sundy to friends
Great experience, highly recommended for foreign tourists

5.00The price of this private tour is very good considering the distance travelled (2.5h from Guilin downtown to Longsheng, one way), plus the quality of service. Charles (who I spoke with on Viator) responds promptly. Sandy, our guide & driver, was great - China had just opened up recently, and there are barely any English tours available, so it was a big deal that Sandy spoke English. Sandy arrived early at our hotel for pickup (and graciously waited for us who were running late from breakfast 🙈), we dropped by all the stops mentioned in the tour description, after which we were dropped off at our hotel. We chose not to stay long at Huangluo Yao village (which was packed with domestic tourists at the time). At Longji rice terraces, we had the flexibility to wander around on our own, which was easy because there were a LOT of signs (as in one at every junction, in both English & Chinese). We also had the flexibility to have lunch whenever and wherever we wanted - there were several restaurants open, all serving the traditional bamboo chicken & rice (which was delicious). It was rainy & foggy the day we went (and we couldn't reschedule anymore given our itinerary in China), so we didn't get a clear view of the famed "dragon's back" in Longji, but there were many other incredible things to see & experience - sea of clouds rolling over the terraces, ancient villages perched on rocky mountains, the friendly locals.
Great experience!

5.00We had a very nice trip to the Longji rice terraces. Our guide Jackie picked us up punctually at our hotel lobby, and was telling us a lot about the region and life in China. At the destination, we did a little hike together and got to learn more about the history of the rice fields. Jackie was also very flexible in terms of what we wanted to see or dont see. 5/5 would book again!
