🌾✨ Longji Rice Terraces: China’s Stairway to the Sky ✨🌾

#mytraveldiary

Just a few hours from Guilin lies the breathtaking Longji Rice Terraces (龙脊梯田), also known as the Dragon’s Backbone. From above, the terraces curve gracefully along the mountains like shimmering dragon scales 🐉, changing colors with every season — green in summer 🌿, golden in autumn 🌾, silver frost in winter ❄️, and misty blooms in spring 🌸.

Villages of the Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups add even more charm, with wooden stilt houses and locals in traditional dress. You can hike between villages, sip tea overlooking endless fields, and watch clouds drift across the mountaintops. 🏡☁️

💡 Tips for Travelers:
Getting there: ~2 hrs drive from Guilin 🚗
Tickets: ~¥80–100 🎟️
Best time: May–Oct for lush greens, Sept–Oct for harvest gold 🌾
Pro Tip: Stay overnight in Ping’an or Dazhai village to catch sunrise 🌅 and starry skies 🌌

Longji isn’t just about rice fields — it’s about harmony between people and nature, cultivated for centuries. Truly a masterpiece carved by human hands. 💚
