Longsheng Terraces Longsheng Gezu Autonomous County is located in the northeastern portion of Guangxi and it is under Guilins governance. This area is the centralized hub for about ten ethnic minority groups in northern Guilin Rice Terraces located in Heping Township The Longji terraces area is famous for the excessively large number of terraced rice paddy fields on its mountain, which have created an intricate pattern on the hillsides. Set amongst the villages of the minorities Zhuang and Yao. Longji means Dragon Backed Mountain. When the paddies are full of water in spring, it is said to resemble the scales on the back of a dragon. The fields are beautiful all year round, in the early stages when filled with water, and as the rice grows and matures, changing colours as it does so These are the PingAn terrace fields and they have their own village and hamlet. These Rice Terraces are only a hike through PingAn to the summit which only takes about 2 hours depending on your fitness. We took the trail along and up the hillsides to view the panoramas of the terraced rice fields, as well as glimpse the rural life and style of architecture found in the forest-fringed villages.
