Longji Rice Terraces
Longji Rice Terraces are located in Longsheng, Guilin.
As we can see from the name, this place is a field to grow rice. So, what on earth makes it a scenic place of interest? You may wonder. Please allow me to elaborate on you.
In China, you can see Rice Terraces almost everywhere. However, the reason why the one in Longsheng own the most famous reputation is that it is the best originated among the all. For on thing, the scale of this terraces is the largest——from the swiftly flowing river to cloud-surrounded mountain peaks; from dense woods to steep cliff. Wherever has soil, there will be rice terraces existing. The vertical height is about 5~6 kilometres and the horizontal length is about 6~7 kilometres. Surrounded by the clouds, the whole terraces are just like a ladder towards the blue sky. For another thing, due to the high altitude, only a few people who have good physical quality are able to reach the top of summit of the field to enjoy the splendid scenery of the craftwork of humans’ intelligence. So this place hasn’t been ruined by tourists. That’s why I call it the best originated Rice Terraces.
W hen you stand on the mountain and overlook the field, it’s really to be intoxicated with soft winds stroking your cheek. You wo n’t be worried about the accommodation because the local farmers are very simple, honest and hospitable.
This is the land of idyllic beauty.。
