Highlights

Guilin - Your private driver and personal guide will collect you from Guilin airport, Guilin railway station, or your hotel in Yangshuo or central Guilin, at 8:30am. From Guilin it’s around two hours to Ping’an; from Yangshuo, it’s a bit over an hour.
Dragon’s Backbone Rice Terraces - Your first stop is the ‘Long Hair Village’, Huangluo, where the Yao women grow their hair to spectacular lengths
some as long as 6.6 feet (2 meters)! Learn about Yao lifestyles here, before you journey up to Ping’an Village, set among the dazzling rice terraces of Longji, and still home to traditional wooden houses, where Zhuang and Yao minorities tend their fields as they have for centuries.

Enjoy a traditional lunch in Ping’an (own expense) before your guide leads you through the rice terraces, telling the story of how these stunning landscapes were created over many centuries as the locals carved fields out of the vertiginous slopes of Longji. Soak up the lush scenery and relaxing atmosphere as you capture timeless shots.

Guilin - If you’re returning to Guilin, you’ll generally leave around 3:30pm (if you’re staying in Yangshuo, you’ll leave at 4:30pm), arriving back at your destination around 5:30pm.

Relaxing day at Longji Rice Terraces! - We had a beautiful day with Andy our guide at Longji Rice Terraces! What an amazing landscape. All of the rice is already harvest at this time of the year, however, some of the terraces still have water in them and a beautiful golden color. It’s a perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. Andy took us to a traditional bamboo rice and chicken restaurant in one of the villages, it was delicious! Then, after a nice walk Andy took us save and sound to our hotel.

Scenic hiking with a taste of local culture - Colin was a great guide who led an excellent tour through the rice terraces! He was knowledgeable about the area, the foliage, and the customs and traditions. I had the opportunity to eat local specialty dishes and we took the time to stop at a tea plantation on the way back to Guilin. It was a full day and I highly recommend booking if you find your way to Guilin.
