The Longji Rice Terraced Fields are recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Cultural Heritage site. The name “Longji” is derived from the mountain ridges that resemble a dragon’s back. Starting from Guilin, one can explore the rich cultures and customs of ethnic minorities, marvel at the breathtaking terraced fields, savor local cuisines, and appreciate the diverse and stunning landscapes of the terraced fields throughout the four seasons. In spring, the water-filled terraces reflect like mirrors. In summer, they turn green and vibrant as rice seedlings are transplanted. In autumn, the ripening rice turns the fields a golden yellow. In winter, the snow-covered terraces create softer, smoother lines, forming an elegant ink-wash painting alongside the mountains, bamboo forests, and villages.

Private day trip: Longji Rice Terrace and Huangluo Yao (Ancient) Village - Charles communicated with us before our trip via WhatsApp, ensuring all our needs were met, especially minimal walking for the three senior citizens in our group. Overall, I found Charles to be professional and reliable. Normally, we don’t have a habit of chartering a tour guide, but we had no regrets with this team! The pick-up was right from our hotel lobby, and after a full day of exploring, we were dropped off back at our hotel lobby as well, making it incredibly convenient. We were also provided with mineral water throughout the journey, which was a thoughtful touch.
We had Jenny as our English-speaking guide, along with a fantastic driver in a safe, clean SUV. While I’d requested English, Jenny’s ability to also speak Cantonese was a pleasant surprise. She took wonderful care of us, bringing knowledge, humor, and kindness to our trip. Even after our day tour ended, Jenny continued helping me with queries via WeChat. We highly recommend this tour company—special thanks to Jenny and Charles for making our experience so comfortable.
Trip Details: Our family of six chartered Charles’ services for a day trip from Guilin to Longji Rice Terraces and Yao Village. On the way, we stopped at Huangluo Yao Village and enjoyed a unique performance by the Hong Yao Minority tribe, known for their long, shiny black hair—a wonderful cultural insight! Jenny then took us to a village restaurant for delicious bamboo-cooked rice and chicken, a local specialty that was fantastic. Following my request to avoid hiking, we used an electric cart to reach the scenic areas at Ping An Rice Terrace. The views were spectacular, and Jenny shared interesting facts along our scenic walk. The tour extended a bit longer than planned, but we were kindly reassured to take our time.

We also visited the Yao Village and enjoyed a show performed by the Yao people themselves! Watch the women folks with their beautiful long long hair! A good cultural insight!

Authentic China - We visited the rice fields with Charles who guided us on an interesting walk through the small villages that dot the rice fields explaining some local traditions and the way of life of the Chinese. It is really hard to understand from abroad some things because of the language barrier and he was very helpful, infinitely kind and discreet. We really had a wonderful day.

Excellent experience - After having done the tour along the river Lee with Charlie I turned to him for an excursion to the rice terraces. This time too, the organisation has been perfect. Charlie proved to be a precise, reliable and very professional guide.
