The Tour We Join: Guilin Bus Day Tour: Longji Terraced Field

Starting our trip at morning early from the airport directly after we arrived, travelled by van to Longji terraces. We picked great time for come, on May 2013, warm climate. Longji Rice Terraced also known as Dragon's Backbone due to the mountains ridges that can be seen from the top with beautiful rice terraces everywhere.

Start our climb on a small path, we need to climb up through terraced rice paddies and gradually climbs higher into the mountain. It was so interesting to experience how the rice paddies looked from closer.

We climbed higher and higher. Over here, there are also quite a few western tourists around. It is about an hour's climb to reach the top, and get some very beautiful scenes.

Everything was worth it. The views of the paddy-covered hills that we can see below and the surrounding mountains were awesome.

After got some amazing pictures of the terraces from the summit, we did have a refreshing drink at the snack shop, had a rest for a bit.

For about 15 minutes having rest to get our energy back, then walked back down again. We are really tired but extremely satisfied from what we got. I think stay overnight nearby Longji terraced would be great experience, far from the city, very peaceful. I am looking forward for that time.
