Longji Terraced Fields are located on Longji Mountain in Ping'an Village, Heping Township, Longsheng Autonomous County, Guangxi, 22 kilometers away from the county seat. Longji Terraced Fields are divided into Jinkeng (Dazhai) Yao Terraced Fields Scenic Area and Ping'an Zhuang Terraced Fields Scenic Area. Come to Longji Terraced Fields, mainly by hiking to see the scenery and taking photos. You can also try local farmhouse dishes and experience the customs of ethnic minorities. Additionally, the sunrise on Dragon Ridge is beautiful and worth watching. The cultivation of Longji terraced fields lasted for 650 years from the Yuan Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. The terraced fields are like chains, encircling the peaks into huge snails, some of which are half folded and half opened like giant fans, diagonally stacked into narrow and long fans; Some are like sky mirrors that are divided and then layered into fragments of various shapes. Within this vast enclosure, the path meanders leisurely in the undulating terraced fields, swaying into thin ropes. The Dragon Ridge Zhuang folk song that lingers above it becomes wisps of smoke and clouds; The Zhuang people, whose buildings are illuminated by water and swayed by clouds, are now transformed into immortal palaces by ethereal beings. Watching the sunrise in terraced fields is something that almost every tourist who comes here has to do, and even many photography enthusiasts come for the sunrise, but it is rare to truly capture satisfactory photos. There are three sunrise and sunset viewing spots in Dazhai Hongyao Terrace: the first viewing spot, Xishan Shaole, is far away, but the view is also very broad. Watching both sunrise and sunset is great, and many promotional videos for Longji Terrace are taken from here; The road to the second thousand story ladder is relatively easy to walk, and the distance is also relatively close. Here, you can see the village of the Yao people, feel the integration of culture and nature, and be suitable for watching the sunrise; The 3rd Golden Buddha Peak is an ideal location for shooting sunsets. Due to its distance, there were not many people who used to take photos here. In recent years, a cable car has been opened at the entrance of Dazhai Scenic Area to directly reach the Golden Buddha Peak, making it much more convenient to take photos here. The folk customs here are also an unmissable attraction. The terraced fields are scattered with Yao and Zhuang ethnic villages, which are very unique. Visitors often visit Longji Ancient Zhuang Village and Huangluo Yao Village. Longji Ancient Zhuang Village is the birthplace of Zhuang terraced fields and a village with a long history. In addition to the simple and beautiful clothing of the Zhuang people, the winding stone roads and exquisitely carved stone bridges here are also eye-catching. It is recommended to walk along the slate road from the Seven Star Accompanying Moon Scenic Area, which takes about 40 minutes. The terraced fields along the way are very spectacular; In Huangluo Yao Village, there are all kinds of red Yao ethnic groups living here. The girls here not only have long hair and waist length, but many of them even have hair that can hang down to the ground. Coming here, you can enjoy traditional Yao song and dance programs, as well as drink Yao family oil tea, all of which are great experiences.
