Description

Private excursion from Guilin. Marvel at the Longji Terraces (Jinfoding, Seven Stars with the Moon) and the Zhuang and Yao villages. Entrance fees and transportation.
[Transportation Service, Driver, and Tour Guide]
Start your day in complete comfort with our direct pick-up service from your hotel in central Guilin. To ensure maximum comfort and smooth communication during the mountain tour, we assign the perfect gear based on the size of your group:
• 1 to 4 people: A private 5-seater vehicle and a driver who acts as a tour guide are assigned. The driver communicates using a translation device.
• 5 to 8 people: A spacious private vehicle with 7 to 9 seats is assigned, along with a dedicated professional tour guide who will accompany you throughout the day.

[Main Features of the Longji Terraces]
Considered the crown jewel of the world's rice terraces and originally built during the Yuan Dynasty, these lands sculpted by the Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups combine ancient agricultural engineering with a stunning natural and architectural landscape:

Jinkeng area (Top Photography Spots):
• Jinfoding Vantage Point: The highest point in Longji (accessible by optional cable car), perfect for enjoying panoramic views and spectacular sunsets.
• Qianceng Tianti ("Stairway to Heaven"): Stepped terrace structures with paths between the fields. This is home to the women's village of the Red Yao ethnic group, famous for their hair tradition (Long Hair Village).

Ping'an Area (The Classic and Delicate):
• Qixing Banyue ("Seven Stars with the Moon"): Seven small mounds surrounding a crescent-shaped terrace, the region's most famous photographic icon.
• Jiulong Wuhu ("Nine Dragons and Five Tigers"): Cascading mountain ridges offering sweeping views, perfect for sunsets.

[Seasonal Landscapes and Local Cuisine]
• Recommended seasons: April to June (flooding period and mirror effect), July to September (bright green rice shoots), and late September to mid-October (golden harvest).
• Traditional cuisine: You can try typical mountain dishes such as rice and chicken cooked in bamboo tubes, Longji chicken soup, smoked bacon from the Yao ethnic group, and fish from the rice fields.

[Essential Tips and Safety]
• Documentation: It is mandatory to bring your original passport.
• Footwear and Clothing: Wear non-slip sports shoes, as the stone paths and rice field trails can be slippery. The mountain weather is very changeable; please bring a light jacket and sunscreen.
• Route: The access road consists of winding mountain roads. If you are prone to motion sickness, it is recommended that you take preventive medication.

[Online Human Support]
Our human support team will be available online at all times to assist you during your itinerary, answer questions, or coordinate meeting points.
