1 Day Guilin Longji Rice Terrace Field Bus Group Tour

In the morning, your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel in Guilin between 08:00 and 09:00. After all group members are picked up, begin a scenic drive toward the famous Longji Rice Terraces, located in Longsheng County. The journey takes around 2 hours, passing through picturesque countryside landscapes, mountain villages, winding rivers, and rural farmland, allowing you to experience the peaceful beauty of southern China along the way.

Upon arrival at the Longji Terrace Field Scenic Area, follow your guide to explore the breathtaking terraced mountains built by the local Zhuang Ethnic Group and Yao Ethnic Group over centuries. These layered rice terraces stretch across steep mountain slopes like giant ribbons, creating one of the most iconic agricultural landscapes in China. Walk along ancient stone pathways and stop at panoramic viewpoints to admire the endless curves of terraces flowing through the mountains. Throughout the visit, your guide will introduce the history, farming traditions, and daily life of the local minority communities.

During the tour, visit the well-known Huangluo Yao Village, famous for the traditional “Long Hair Show” performed by local Yao women. The women of the village are internationally known for their extraordinarily long hair, which symbolizes beauty, health, and longevity in Yao culture. Besides watching the cultural performance, you will also have the opportunity to see traditional wooden stilt houses, local handicrafts, ethnic clothing, and authentic village life hidden deep within the mountains.

At noon, enjoy a local Chinese-style lunch at a countryside restaurant near the terrace fields. You may taste simple but delicious regional dishes prepared with fresh mountain ingredients and local flavors unique to northern Guangxi.

In the afternoon, continue exploring the scenic viewpoints and peaceful mountain paths of the Longji Rice Terraces. Depending on the season, the terraces display completely different scenery — shining water reflections in spring, vibrant green rice fields in summer, golden harvest colors in autumn, and snow-covered landscapes in winter. The area is especially popular among photographers for its ever-changing beauty throughout the year.

After the tour, return to Guilin by vehicle. You will arrive back at your hotel at approximately 17:00, concluding your unforgettable one-day countryside experience in the spectacular Longji Terrace Fields.
