Rice Terraces Private Tour
Private Tour Details
We'll pick you up from your hotel at the indicated time before heading north to Longshen, an area of Guilin famous for its stepped rice terraces. During the two-hour journey, we'll enjoy the picturesque landscapes of rural China.
We'll stroll through the famous rice fields of Longji and discover the origin of its name, which means the "Dragon Column". Our professional guide will tell you all about the unique irrigation system set up here by the local farmers. You'll also enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the mountainside.
After enjoying the landscape of Longji, we continue to Longsheng, where the guide will tell us about the more than ten ethnic groups that live here. We'll visit the river bank to see the women of Huangluo Yao village washing their traditionally long hair, which has been known to grow up to 5 ft (1.5 m) long.
After several hours exploring the beautiful region of Longsheng, we'll return to the hotels in Guilin, arriving after 8 hours of activity.
