Jinkeng Rice Terraces

October's Longji Terraced Fields are simply too beautiful, the rice begins to turn yellow at the end of September, gradually changing from green to a golden ocean. This year's rice harvest time is October 29th, you can go anytime before this. Longji Terraced Fields scenic area is very large, mainly three terraces, Jinkeng Dazhai Terraced Fields, Ping'an Terraced Fields and Ancient Zhuang Terraced Fields. The ticket is 80 yuan, applicable to all three villages, the three villages are quite far apart, the relative position is shown in Figure 9, if there is no traffic jam, the whole journey will take about 7 hours. Ping'an Terraced Fields: Here the terraces are the most beautiful of the three villages, and it's the easiest to get good photos with a mobile phone. There are two official viewing platforms, and one unofficial super beautiful viewing point we found. Navigate to 'Ping'an Zhuang Terraced Fields Viewing Area - Multi-storey Car Park', you can only drive up to here, then walk (40 minutes) or take a sightseeing car up. Jiulong Wuhu Viewing Platform: First recommendation, take the sightseeing car directly from the car park, round trip 50 yuan, you can go down to the terraces, the scenery is very beautiful, good for taking photos, Figure 2 was taken here. Seven Stars with Moon Viewing Platform: Second recommendation, walk half an hour from Jiulong Wuhu along the stone road, it's all flat, not tiring. The view for taking photos here is not very good, there are tree tops blocking, but the view is still very beautiful, you can climb to the top of the viewing tower to see. San Yang Kai Tai Viewing Point (randomly named): Second recommendation, this point is on the way from Jiulong Wuhu to Seven Stars with Moon, it was accidentally discovered, the angle for taking photos is super good, I marked the location in Figure 10, Figures 1,3,4 were all taken here. Jinkeng Dazhai Terraced Fields: Jinkeng Terraces have the largest area, the most layers of terraces, and the most spectacular scenery, but the terraces are quite far from the viewing platform, it's not easy to get good photos with a mobile phone, it's more suitable for drones or SLR mirrorless cameras. There are three viewing platforms: No.2 Viewing Platform (Thousand Layer Staircase Viewing Platform): First recommendation, the view is excellent, very spectacular, you can drive directly, you can go down to the terraces. Navigate to 'Longji Ke Lai Fu Mountain Villa', and walk for 3 minutes to get to the viewing platform. No. Viewing Platform (Xi Shan Shao Le): Second recommendation, the view is also very good, you can drive directly, you can go down to the terraces. Navigate to 'Longji Terraced Fields Yi Jing Pan Homestay' to get there, the end has a 500m narrow and steep road, non-experienced drivers are advised to stop near 'Longji Terraced Fields Mei Shang Homestay' and walk up. No.3 Viewing Platform (Golden Buddha Peak): Second recommendation, you need to take a cable car up, round trip 100 yuan, opposite No.2 Viewing Platform, the view is similar to No.1 and No.2, the advantage is that you can overlook the terraces from the cable car. Navigate to Jinkeng Dazhai Car Park (also called Longji Da Yao Terraced Fields Viewing Area - Car Park), the cable car ticket office is next to the car park. Ancient Zhuang Terraced Fields: This is the smallest area of terraces, the scenery is quite ordinary, if you don't have plenty of time, it's not recommended to go, because it's early rice, the rice turns yellow one month earlier than other places, it's best to go in August, September.

Longji Terraces is located in Guilin, Guangxi, and is a national 4A scenic spot. The area of Longji Terraces has reached 70.16 square kilometers, divided into Ping'an Zhuang Terraces and Jinkeng Red Yao Terraces. The main attractions of Ping'an Zhuang Village Terraces are Seven Stars with Moon and Nine Dragons and Five Tigers, while the attractions of Jinkeng Dazhai Red Yao Terraces include Dajie Thousand-layer Heavenly Ladder, Xishan Music and Golden Buddha Peak. Each attraction has its own unique features. Standing on the viewing platform, the entire Longji Terraces is in sight. Those fields that wind around the mountains like ribbons, those clearly layered color blocks, those rice fields that sparkle in the sun, constitute a magnificent scroll. And when the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the terraces, like a golden blanket, which is even more beautiful.

✅After visiting the Longji Terraced Fields, here is a pit avoidance guide for everyone! For example, transportation: The Longji Terraced Fields are too far away, it's unnecessary for tourists to use public transportation or rent a car, just join a one-day tour group. ✅Travel route: Recommend a simple half-mountain photo shoot in Jinzhu Zhuang Village (the terraces here are all planted with Buddha's hand and passion fruit, which is different from other rice terraces) + Dazhai Jinkeng Terraces' Golden Buddha Peak! (The Golden Buddha Peak and the cableway are too beautiful! Draw a ❤️ key point! Don't go anywhere else! Huangluo Yao Village has nothing! The Long Hair Technology Museum is just selling shampoo! The century-old house is just an old bamboo building! Don't go!!! Be sure to choose the double cable group of Dazhai Jinkeng Terraces! It takes more than 20 minutes to go up the mountain by cable car to the Golden Buddha Peak. I was originally a single cable, wanted to walk down, but when I was on the mountain cable car, I was desperate looking at those mountain roads, it was too far, I added a downhill cable car on the mountain, compared to the double cable ticket, each person pays an extra 5 yuan for the supplement. ✅Eating: The driver of the one-day tour will take you to the place to eat, let you order yourself! Remember, just order a 30 yuan braised eggplant + a must-have 5 yuan tableware for each table + rice! Don't order anything else! Bamboo chicken is just boiled chicken meat in a bamboo tube! You definitely won't like it, it's woody and tasteless! Don't order bamboo rice! The restaurant will give you a small bucket, just taste it! ✅Note: The entire Longji Terraced Fields itinerary, actually the only worthwhile views are the scenery on the cable car and the time to take pictures at the Golden Buddha Peak, two hours round trip is enough! All other itineraries are unnecessary! When choosing a group, it's best to choose a simple one that only goes to the Thousand Buddha Peak and not other places. Such a time-saving group can return to Guilin city area around three or four in the afternoon, and you can go to other attractions

This time I came to Jinkeng Dazhai of Longji Terraces, which is the latest mature rice among the three Dazhai of Longji, so it's still a bit green, and it's expected to turn into a whole piece of golden yellow in mid-October. There are mainly two viewing platforms in Dazhai - Golden Buddha Peak & Thousand-layer Terraces Viewing Platform 1⃣️Golden Buddha Peak It takes 20 minutes to reach the Golden Buddha Peak by cable car. The terraces seen from the top of the mountain are the most magnificent, and also the most difficult to photograph. I suggest either using a drone to take aerial photos, or just enjoy the view with your eyes. Taking photos here is quite challenging. (The cable car is recommended to buy a round trip for 100 yuan) 2⃣️Thousand-layer Terraces Viewing Platform This viewing platform is the only one in the entire scenic area that needs to climb up the mountain. I live at the foot of the mountain, and it takes about half an hour to climb up. You can also ask the owner of the homestay to drive you to some small roads on the top of the mountain, and it takes about 5 minutes to walk down. It's very suitable for taking photos here. You can take photos of the houses at the foot of the mountain, and you can take photos of the Golden Buddha Peak. The only disadvantage is that the sun can't shine here in this season. Actually, the Nine Dragons and Five Tigers of Ping'an Village are also very suitable for taking photos. It's more delicate there, and people can go down to the fields for free. In spring, a casual photo taken by a mobile phone was included in Visual China, but this time because of work reasons, I couldn't rush to it, which is a bit regrettable.
