Longji Rice Terraces

Nestled in the Longji region of southern China, the Longji Rice Terraces have been a cornerstone of local farming for generations. A two-hour journey from Guilin, these terraces, also known as the Dragon’s Backbone, cascade down the hillsides in a series of intricate, layered steps. The terraces’ unique design not only maximizes agricultural space but also creates a visually striking landscape that changes with the seasons. Today, visitors can explore the area, witnessing the traditional methods of rice cultivation and enjoying panoramic views that make this site one of the most photographed in China.
