Long Ji Rice Terrace in April (Guangxi Province, China)



I decided to do a day trip to Long Ji (Dragon Bone) Rice Terrace as there wasn't much left to explore in Guilin city.  It was also good opportunity to prepare for a return in future (if any).  It was a 2 hour journey to the main village, from there, another 40 minutes to our destination Da YaoZhai  (大瑶寨)Village.

Lunch upon arrival.....







Lunch was delicious and interesting: bamboo rice, bamboo chicken and salted meat.  It cost Y150 for 2 persons.

We were given tickets to the cable car and were on our own for the trip.  It was a comfortable ride to the top and the good views were good.





The rice terrace would be flooded a few days after our trip and it was unfortunate that we would miss the beautiful sight.  But the sight of the massive rice terrace was still rewarding....







We spent about an hour at the top of the mountain, and a quick visit to the Da Yao Zhai (大瑶寨) at the foot of the hill.


A full day trip.  We had dinner at Chun Ji Roast Goose Restaurant again (the first time at Yangshuo) upon returning to Guilin.
