Beautiful Rice Terraces

A wonderful day trip from Guilin. We arranged a private driver to take us as it was very hot and didn't want to spend the entire day exposed. There are, however, several options for organised tours available with the tourist agencies in Guilin. The drive from Guilin is nothing short of beautiful and the terraces are spectacular. Several villages on the way to stop for refreshments. We left after lunch and had enough time to visit only one of the terraces. If you go early in the morning you will be able to visit all three and visit the village where the women have very long hair. The cable car is a quick and easy way to get to the top of the terrace, but you can also hike up if you have more time.
