After around 2–2.5 hours, you'll arrive at the Longji Scenic Area.
Explore the Amazing Longji Rice Terraces
Step into one of Guangxi's most iconic landscapes — the Longji Rice Terraces. Built along steep mountain slopes over hundreds of years, these terraces create incredible layers that change with the seasons. Depending on the time of your visit, you may see water-filled terraces reflecting the sky in spring, endless green fields in summer, golden rice fields in autumn, or misty mountain views in winter. Your guide will take you to the best viewpoints based on the weather and season, while sharing stories about the traditional farming techniques behind this impressive landscape. You'll have plenty of time to walk, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere.
Wander Through a Traditional Minority Village
Continue your journey into a local minority village, where you can experience the authentic side of life in the Longji mountains. Walking along the village paths, you'll discover traditional wooden houses, mountain views, and daily life that has remained closely connected with nature. Your guide will introduce the local customs, architecture, festivals, and traditions, helping you understand more than just what you see. For photography lovers, this is also a highlight of the trip — the combination of rice terraces, wooden villages, and mountain scenery creates unforgettable views at every turn.

After exploring the terraces and village, relax during the comfortable drive back to Guilin. If you have a train departure or another travel plan, our team can arrange drop-off at your hotel, Guilin train station, or another convenient location. With transportation, local guidance, and itinerary planning taken care of, you can enjoy Longji Rice Terraces at a comfortable pace and experience the natural beauty and culture of Guilin's countryside.

Thanks, Eamon! We love hearing that the tour surprised you in the best way. The driverless taxi can feel a little odd at first, but once you settle in, it's a pretty memorable experience. Glad you both had fun exploring Shenzhen's tech side!
The trains made the route surprisingly easy
Thanks, Marlowe! Glad to hear our train journeys turned out to be easier than expected. Those big stations can definitely feel a bit overwhelming at first, so it's great to hear that having our driver there made things smoother. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the trip!
