Your day starts with a convenient pickup from your Guilin hotel or train station. Your private guide and driver will meet you on time and take care of the journey, so you can simply relax and enjoy the changing scenery along the way. 

As you leave Guilin, the city gradually gives way to peaceful countryside, winding mountain roads, and traditional villages. During the drive, your guide will introduce the local landscape, farming traditions, and stories of the communities that have lived among these mountains for generations. After around 2–2.5 hours, you'll arrive at the Longji Scenic Area.

Explore the Amazing Longji Rice Terraces
Step into one of Guangxi's most iconic landscapes — the Longji Rice Terraces. Built along steep mountain slopes over hundreds of years, these terraces create incredible layers that change with the seasons. Depending on the time of your visit, you may see water-filled terraces reflecting the sky in spring, endless green fields in summer, golden rice fields in autumn, or misty mountain views in winter. Your guide will take you to the best viewpoints based on the weather and season, while sharing stories about the traditional farming techniques behind this impressive landscape. You'll have plenty of time to walk, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere.

Wander Through a Traditional Minority Village
Continue your journey into a local minority village, where you can experience the authentic side of life in the Longji mountains. Walking along the village paths, you'll discover traditional wooden houses, mountain views, and daily life that has remained closely connected with nature. Your guide will introduce the local customs, architecture, festivals, and traditions, helping you understand more than just what you see. For photography lovers, this is also a highlight of the trip — the combination of rice terraces, wooden villages, and mountain scenery creates unforgettable views at every turn.

Return to Guilin with Scenic Mountain Views
After exploring the terraces and village, relax during the comfortable drive back to Guilin. If you have a train departure or another travel plan, our team can arrange drop-off at your hotel, Guilin train station, or another convenient location. With transportation, local guidance, and itinerary planning taken care of, you can enjoy Longji Rice Terraces at a comfortable pace and experience the natural beauty and culture of Guilin's countryside.

Wonderful experience with a very friendly guide

The scenery at Longji was breathtaking, especially with the clouds around the mountains in the morning. Our guide Leo was the highlight of the trip. He was professional but also felt like a friend traveling with us. He shared local stories, recommended good viewpoints, and took many great photos for our family. The company was also very responsive when we changed our pickup location last minute. Really appreciated the flexibility.
