Gandong Rice Terraces
杆洞梯田
Terraced fields in the highland township of Gandong in northwest Rongshui, dotted with Miao stilt houses and full of unspoiled natural character.
Gandong Township lies in the high mountains of northwest Rongshui on the border with Guizhou, about 130 km of mountain road from the county town. Terraced fields spread along the contours of the mountains, dotted with Miao stilt houses. It is the most unspoiled terraced and Miao village area in Rongshui. During the first lunar month, the lusheng slope fair here is impressively large. The journey is long, so hiring a car or driving yourself and staying one night in the township or around Antai is recommended. The main photo spots are free, and autumn, when the rice is ripe, is the best time to visit.
