Hotel: Overnight in Longji Rice Terrace

In this early morning, you’ll be driven about 150 kilometers to witness one of the most beautiful rice terraces in China - Longji Rice Terrace. The Longji Terraces are famous for their winding terraced landscape, shaped like a giant dragon perched in the mountains, showing a magnificent scene of man and nature living in harmony. Visitors can hike through the terraced fields, feel the serenity of farming life, enjoy the gorgeous sunrise and sunset, taste the local cuisine and experience the rich culture of ethnic minorities.

There are several featured Zhuang and Yao minority villages along the road and you’ll take a visit to the special Huangluo Yao Village. The Red Yao people live here, and since ancient times, Red Yao women have had the traditional habit of growing long hair, and their long hair, songs and dances, and Red Yao costumes have all become a beautiful folkloric scenery here. If they like to be quiet, sometimes the red Yao girls with long hair will gather at the bank of Jinjiang River to wash their hair together, giving people an original and beautiful visual enjoyment.

Later, continue your drive to a beautiful 600-year-old Zhuang Village - Ping’an and check in your hotel located near the rice terraces. After some rest, start to explore the breathtaking views. From Ping’an, you can hike on the cobbled paths built among terraces to catch the best landscape. Climb up to the great lookouts at Seven Stars with Moon and Nine Dragons and Five Tigers from which you can get superlative views of terraces and villages.
