Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces Tour with Oil Tea & Lunch

Discover the Longji Rice Terraces on a day tour from Guilin. Visit Ping’an Village, taste Yao oil tea and bamboo rice, and enjoy a scenic private transfer.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Guilin. Then, enjoy a scenic 2-hour drive into the mountains to the Longji Rice Terraces.

Arrive at Ping’an Village, one of the earliest and most popular areas of the terraces, famous for its breathtaking scenery. From the village parking lot, choose to take a golf cart or walk up the stone steps to the hilltop viewpoint.

Take time to admire the layered rice fields, local villages, and rolling mountain ranges. Stay for around 20 minutes for sightseeing and photos, and grab a coffee on site.

Continue along an easy, mostly flat trail through bamboo groves and beside the terraces, with panoramic views along the way. Reach the iconic “Seven Stars with the Moon” viewpoint for a spectacular look across the terraces and villages.

Next, visit a local farmer’s traditional wooden house for an authentic cultural experience. Watch locals prepare traditional Yao oil tea, a daily drink with over 1,000 years of history, made with ingredients such as peanuts, garlic, green onions, and ginger. Slightly bitter and refreshing, it’s loved by locals—much like coffee is for many Westerners.

Learn how bamboo rice is made. Glutinous rice mixed with local ingredients (such as peanuts, pork, pumpkin, and corn) is placed into fresh bamboo tubes and slowly roasted over a small fire for around 20 minutes. The rice absorbs the natural bamboo fragrance, making it a delicious must-try specialty.

Finally, enjoy bamboo rice, oil tea, and homemade dishes with the local family—an unforgettable countryside moment that many travelers consider a highlight of their China trip. After the tour, relax on the comfortable 2-hour private ride back to your Guilin hotel.
