Itinerary
Hotel Pick-up: Your private guide will meet you at your Guilin hotel bright and early. Sit back and relax during the roughly 2-hour drive to Longji Terraced Fields.
Introduction to Longji Terraced Fields: Known also as the Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces, these are a stunning feat of agricultural ingenuity. Carved into mountain slopes over 650 years ago by the Zhuang and Yao peoples, they're both a practical solution for farming steep land and a masterpiece of natural beauty. The terraces cascade like giant steps toward the sky, shifting with the seasons: spring brings water-filled fields mirroring the sky and clouds; summer cloaks them in lush green rice; autumn turns them into a golden ocean of ripe crops.
Exploring Longji Terraced Fields: After lunch, set out to discover the terraces. Snap photos, chat with local farmers, and learn about their time-honored farming techniques along the way. Lunch is at a nearby local restaurant, where you can savor specialties like bamboo-tube rice, stir-fried wild greens, and home-raised chicken.
Trip to Long-Haired Village: In the afternoon, we head to Long-Haired Village , home to the Red Yao people. The village is famous for its women, who boast famously long, jet-black hair—their hair-care secrets passed down through generations.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted warmly by villagers. Explore their traditional homes, watch a captivating traditional hair-combing performance, and even try ancient hair-care methods if you'd like. Browse handcrafted souvenirs made by locals to take a piece of the village home with you.
After visiting Long-Haired Village, your guide will accompany you back to your Guilin hotel. It's the perfect time to reflect on the day's highlights, with scenic views to enjoy along the way.
