Longsheng
The home of terraced fields in the mountains of northern Guangxi, where the Longji terraces and Zhuang and Yao villages complement each other, with distinct seasonal views.
Longsheng is located in northeastern Guangxi, under the jurisdiction of Guilin City, and is a mountainous county inhabited by Zhuang, Yao, Dong, Miao, and other ethnic groups. The Longji Rice Terraces are the representative attraction here; Dazhai Jinkeng, Ping'an Zhuang Village, and Longji Ancient Zhuang Village each have their own characteristics, and Golden Buddha Peak, Xishan Shaole, and Tiantouzhai's Thousand-Layer Terraces are classic viewpoints. Huangluo Yao Village is famous for its long hair tradition, Jinzhu Zhuang Village retains traditional stilt houses, and there is also Longsheng Hot Spring in the mountains. In May and June, when the fields are flooded, the water reflects like mirrors, and in September and October, the golden rice crops are the most popular. Most visitors take a bus from Guilin, which takes about two hours, and exploration within the scenic area is mainly on foot or by cable car.
