Guilin Day Tour: Long Hair Sci-Tech Museum & Longji Terraces

Explore the Huangluo Yao Village and the Longji Rice Terraces on a private tour from Guilin. Learn about the traditional hair culture of the Yao women and admire the stunning views of the terraces.
Begin with a pickup from your Guilin hotel in a private vehicle. Head to the renowned Huangluo Yao Village, famously known as the “World’s Longest Hair Village.”

Observe up close the traditional hair culture passed down through generations of Yao women, experience the simple and authentic lifestyle and unique ethnic customs of the village, and visit the world’s first hair-themed Long Hair Science and Technology Museum.

The museum reveals the secret of the Red Yao people's millennial rice water hair care with a combination of cultural displays and modern science, where you can also learn about the time-honored hair care wisdom and the scientific research results behind it.

Afterward, proceed to the Longji Rice Terraces scenic area. Starting from Ping’an Village, walk uphill along a stone path, passing Zhuang ethnic homes, murmuring streams, and rustic wooden houses—allowing you to first absorb the rhythm of village life before witnessing the breathtaking expanse of the terraced fields.

At the two classic viewing platforms, “Seven Stars Around the Moon” and “Nine Dragons and Five Tigers,” have plenty of time to admire the ribbon-like curves of the terraces winding around the mountains.

Explore at your own pace—whether photographing the shifting light, strolling along the flagstone trails, or simply sitting quietly on the steps, feeling the mountain breeze and listening to the sounds of nature. As dusk approaches, gather at the agreed meeting point and return by vehicle to your Guilin hotel.
