Reviews from Real Guests:

Cky075: The Longji rice terraces are amazingly beautiful. My favourite view is from the seven stars and moon viewing area. The Ping’an village located in the midst of the terraces is also very pretty and the wooden houses are very interesting to walk through. There is lots of food and drinks for sale in the village and near the viewing points if you need it. I traveled there during the Golden Week so it was a bit chaotic to leave the mountain after the hike because there was so much traffic. However, the time of year was beautiful because the rice was about to be harvested and was a beautiful yellow colour. I would love to visit in the spring when the terraces are full of water.

K-TravelMuse: Although rice terraces wind their way around mountains throughout China, the Longji Rice Terraces are considered to be the most magnificent of them all. They are located in Longsheng County, about 100 kilometres (62 miles) outside of Guilin, and are sometimes referred to as the Longsheng Rice Terraces. The word “longji” means “dragon’s backbone” and these rice terraces earned their unusual name because the terraced fields climbing up the mountain look like dragons’ scales whilst the summit of the mountain range resembles a dragon’s backbone

Allison Paige: We had an incredible stay at the Lijiang Bo Yin Hotel. The room aesthetic and level of cleanliness were impeccable. Very comfy beds and great amenities. I especially enjoyed the additional elevated section and the end of the room that has a couch and tea set. Very quiet and serene surrounding area. The breakfast was delicious as well.

Trip.com User: I booked the Golden Hang Terrace Hotel with my friends, and I could see the beauty of the entire terrace, and there would be a shuttle service, saving a lot of footwork. The most important thing was that when I went in October, the terraces were yellow, plus the sun was shining, the weather was good and the people were down, and I saw the terraces with clear levels!
