Guangxi trip - Longji Jinhang Yaozhai to see the terraces

You don't have to go to Yunnan to see the terraces
There are some in Guangxi nearby

Take the high-speed rail from Shenzhen to Guilin North Station
Get your car from a car rental company that has been booked in advance
Check about two or three hours drive will be here Jin Hang Yao Village
As the name suggests, this is mainly a place where the Yao people live together
Although many of the younger generations have moved away
However, the characteristic architecture of the Yao ethnic group is still preserved here
In addition to the Yao Brigade, there are other ethnic minorities who live/maintain B&Bs there

After checking-in at the B&B
We come to Dragon's Spine
Take the cable car from the cable car station at the foot of the mountain to see the terraces
The scenery along the way is beautiful
You can see many of the buildings in Yao Village, all made of bamboo

Climb up to the top of the mountain
It was a bit windy and cold though
Luckily we wore enough clothes
Otherwise there are some small shops selling Yao shawls
Many people bought a shawl
Integrate into the clothing of the local ethnic group

From the top of the hill is the best place to see the full view of the terraces
Since have been developed into tourist areas
So there are many shops selling food and drinks
There is also an observation deck that has been erected
Not too desolate

It is worth mentioning that there are many small shops that rent ethnic costumes
We also took advantage of this opportunity
Rent a set of civilian travel clothes per person at a very affordable price
Walking and taking pictures among the terraced fields is really unique

Since we came a little early
Only part of the terraces were irrigated
Can't see the fully mirrored terraces
However this scenery and weather
This trip is really worth it
