The Longsheng Rice Terraces are located in Longsheng County

The Longsheng Rice Terraces  are located in Longsheng County, about 100 km (2 hours drive) from Guilin, Guangxi, China. The most popular are Ping An Rice Terrace and Jinkeng Rice Terrace. Welcome to China for Canton Fair, HRC also provide China Tour guide and Indochina Tour packages, welcome to order.

 
The terraced fields are built along the slope winding from the riverside up to the mountain top, the highest part being 880 m in elevation while the lowest part is 380 m. The coiling line that starts from the mountain foot up to the mountain top divides the mountain into layers of water glittering in the sun in spring, layers of green rice shoots in summer, layers of golden rice in fall, and layers of silvery frost in winter. The terraced fields were mostly built during the Ming Dynasty, about 500 years ago.

Rice is still farmed here today and the Longji Rice Terraces are home to some of China’s ethnic minorities. The village of Ping’An, which is essentially the base camp for exploring the terraces, has a 600 year history and is populated by the Zhuang people. A few hours walk away is Dazhai, a town populated by the Yao ethnic minority. The Yao women are famous for growing extremely long hair. Even in Ping’An they will find you and offer to let their hair down to its full length for a few RMB.
