Itinerary

  • Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces

    At 8:00 am your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby in central Guilin or Yangshuo and start heading toward the foot of the mountains where Longji Rice Terraces is located (approx. 2.5 hours). The rice terraces are built into the mountainsides like ribbons winding around from foot to top. Local villagers have been cultivating on these fields for generations since 600 years ago. Trek up the mountain among the fields while the stunning natural scenery and ethnic villages with their traditional houses feast your eyes. Admire the ​Longji Rice Terraces from the best viewing points: the Seven Stars with the Moon and the Nine Dragons and Five Tigers. Enjoy a Chinese style lunch at a local farmer's house, you'll have the chance to taste delicious local dishes, such as bamboo rice and other minority dishes. Witness one of the local custom for women to grow very long hair as long as 1 meter or longer. After the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel by 6:00 pm.

A visit to culture and landscape

Published on May, 2024

We had a great time visiting these beautiful landscapes. The pick-up was on time, the group was small, 6 people. The car was pristine. And our guide, Jay, not only was he knowledgeable, but also he seemed very enthusiastic about nature and the area. He answered all our questions. The restaurant we had lunch was very nice, had a wonderful view, and the food was great. We had bamboo rice and pork filled mushrooms. We recommend this company and this tour to anyone who visit Guilin

Best thing we did in China! Amazing experience, Excellent guide

Published on May, 2019

Touring the Longji Rice Terraces was the best thing we did in China. It was a beautiful day, the scenery was UN-REAL, and the meal in a local's house left us feeling like we were really a part of the culture. The tour guide (Jason) was EXCELLENT. He had the best English of anyone we met, and he was funny, knowledgable, and engaging. He even went above and beyond by helping us find a place to get our laundry done, which was surprisingly difficult. It's a bit of a drive to get there, but totally worth it. Can't recommend highly enough!

Wonderful holiday in Guilin

Published on Mar, 2019

My 1st China trip and it is such a memorable trip as well. Booked 3 days tour with trippest and worth each penny spend. Super friendly tour guide Mr.Chasen bring me to all the attractions and though the weather is rainy most of the time here but we manage to complete all the activities without any issues. Thanks to him. Not forgetting the pretty sweet girl Tracy Tang she helped me on the booking. It was very fast without any hassle. Thanks to her as well. Guilin and trippest tour service love you guys! ❤️ P/S: pls request Chasen to be your tour guide. His knowledge on the city and language command is very good.

Amazing experience, with a great guide!

Published on Sep, 2018

We had an amazing visit to the Longji Rice Terrances thanks to China Highlights and our tour guide Linda. Linda spoke great English, she told us lots of interesting information, not just about our tour but about the Chinese culture in general. She was very professional and easygoing. She took tons of pictures for us (she's pretty much a professional photographer haha) The tour itself was great, left our Hotel around 830 and arrived back around 530. We booked a mini group but it ended up just being my fiancé and myself. We did lots of walking, seen lots of great scenery and met lots of great people. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Chinese culture and great scenery. Thanks Linda and China Highlights
