Longji Terraced Fields Hiking

· Location: Guilin
· Difficulty: Easy to moderate
· Duration: 1 day
· Best times to hike: May to October
The Longji Terraced Fields are located in Longsheng County, about 100 km (60 miles) northwest of Guilin. Longji's terraced fields offer some of the most fantastic scenery in Guilin or indeed China.
As the rice terraces are built into the hillsides, the best, and also only, way to view these fields from many angles is by hiking.
There are numerous hiking trails to explore the rice terraces, and the most frequented trail is from Ping'an Village to Dazhai, or vice versa. The scenery along this route is fantastic, with seasonal colors and traditional minority houses.
The 4-hour hike, during which you can fully appreciate the rice paddies and other beautiful landscapes along the way, has been well-trod over the centuries and most paths are paved with stone slabs.
