Beschrijving
Discover Zhuang traditions in a 1-day tour from Guilin. Visit ancient villages, make traditional oil-tea, enjoy a local lunch, and hike up to stunning rice terrace viewpoints.
Set off for a 2-hour scenic drive into the mountains of Longsheng County. Along the way, enjoy views of rice paddies, bamboo groves, and quiet countryside roads. Your guide will introduce the culture of the Zhuang and Yao minorities, who have lived here for centuries and carved the iconic Longji Terraces into the hillsides.
Guzhuang Village: a tranquil Zhuang minority village nestled at the base of the terraces. Walk along stone-paved paths lined with wooden houses that have stood for over 100 years. Visit the local museum showcasing traditional costumes, weaving tools, musical instruments, and ancestral artifacts. Hear stories of migration, agriculture, and family life passed down for generations. This is a peaceful, lesser-known stop that offers rare insight into mountain village heritage.
Hands-on oil-Tea Experience & Traditional Zhuang Lunch: Continue to Ping'an Village, where a warm local welcome awaits. Roll up your sleeves for a fun and flavorful oil-tea soup workshop: roast peanuts and soybeans, grind your own blend, and mix it with fragrant tea to create the signature 'Longji oil tea.' Afterward, enjoy a hearty homemade lunch of Zhuang village cuisine, full of fresh local ingredients and warm hospitality.
Hike or Cable Car to the Best Terrace Viewpoint: Depending on your energy level, choose to hike 30–40 minutes uphill through the village and farmland trails, or take a scenic cable car to the top. Either way, the reward is breathtaking: a panoramic view of the rice terraces cascading across the mountains like waves of green silk. This is one of the most iconic landscapes in all of China - bring your camera and soak in the moment.
