Guilin Longji Terraced Fields October photo shooting guide, one article is enough
October's Longji Terraced Fields are simply too beautiful, the rice begins to turn yellow at the end of September, gradually changing from green to a golden ocean. This year's rice harvest time is October 29th, you can go anytime before this. Longji Terraced Fields scenic area is very large, mainly three terraces, Jinkeng Dazhai Terraced Fields, Ping'an Terraced Fields and Ancient Zhuang Terraced Fields. The ticket is 80 yuan, applicable to all three villages, the three villages are quite far apart, the relative position is shown in Figure 9, if there is no traffic jam, the whole journey will take about 7 hours.
Ping'an Terraced Fields:
Here the terraces are the most beautiful of the three villages, and it's the easiest to get good photos with a mobile phone. There are two official viewing platforms, and one unofficial super beautiful viewing point we found.
Navigate to 'Ping'an Zhuang Terraced Fields Viewing Area - Multi-storey Car Park', you can only drive up to here, then walk (40 minutes) or take a sightseeing car up.
Jiulong Wuhu Viewing Platform: First recommendation, take the sightseeing car directly from the car park, round trip 50 yuan, you can go down to the terraces, the scenery is very beautiful, good for taking photos, Figure 2 was taken here.
Seven Stars with Moon Viewing Platform: Second recommendation, walk half an hour from Jiulong Wuhu along the stone road, it's all flat, not tiring. The view for taking photos here is not very good, there are tree tops blocking, but the view is still very beautiful, you can climb to the top of the viewing tower to see.
San Yang Kai Tai Viewing Point (randomly named): Second recommendation, this point is on the way from Jiulong Wuhu to Seven Stars with Moon, it was accidentally discovered, the angle for taking photos is super good, I marked the location in Figure 10, Figures 1,3,4 were all taken here.
Jinkeng Dazhai Terraced Fields:
Jinkeng Terraces have the largest area, the most layers of terraces, and the most spectacular scenery, but the terraces are quite far from the viewing platform, it's not easy to get good photos with a mobile phone, it's more suitable for drones or SLR mirrorless cameras. There are three viewing platforms:
No.2 Viewing Platform (Thousand Layer Staircase Viewing Platform): First recommendation, the view is excellent, very spectacular, you can drive directly, you can go down to the terraces. Navigate to 'Longji Ke Lai Fu Mountain Villa', and walk for 3 minutes to get to the viewing platform.
No. Viewing Platform (Xi Shan Shao Le): Second recommendation, the view is also very good, you can drive directly, you can go down to the terraces. Navigate to 'Longji Terraced Fields Yi Jing Pan Homestay' to get there, the end has a 500m narrow and steep road, non-experienced drivers are advised to stop near 'Longji Terraced Fields Mei Shang Homestay' and walk up.
No.3 Viewing Platform (Golden Buddha Peak): Second recommendation, you need to take a cable car up, round trip 100 yuan, opposite No.2 Viewing Platform, the view is similar to No.1 and No.2, the advantage is that you can overlook the terraces from the cable car. Navigate to Jinkeng Dazhai Car Park (also called Longji Da Yao Terraced Fields Viewing Area - Car Park), the cable car ticket office is next to the car park.
Ancient Zhuang Terraced Fields:
This is the smallest area of terraces, the scenery is quite ordinary, if you don't have plenty of time, it's not recommended to go, because it's early rice, the rice turns yellow one month earlier than other places, it's best to go in August, September.
Among them, the terraced lines and clouds and flowing water are beautiful and smooth; and the scale is magnificent and magnificent, and it has the reputation of "the crown of the world of terraced fields". The Zhuang and Yi people who live here, the ancestors, the ancestors, the turf open fields, and the spring and autumn harvest.
Very spectacular terraced scenic spot, located on the outskirts of Guilin, the transportation is very convenient, it has been developed more mature, there are many special farmhouses in the scenic area, providing tourists with a variety of catering and accommodation services, and moderate consumption.
We went to the Longji Terraces by car on October 5, 2021. After reading everyone's recommendation, we went directly to the Jinkeng Hongyan Terraces. There were many tourists during the National Day holiday, the roads were rugged, and the traffic was serious. It was almost an hour away from the scenic spot 3 kilometers. The parking space was not easy to find, but the scenery was very good. It is the best to go in early October. The rice is confiscated, the golden rice ears and the green rice leaves plus the blue sky and white clouds are very photogenic. However, the environment of the homestay is good, that is, the sound insulation of the room is not good, which affects the rest. I got up at five o'clock in the morning on the 6th, and I started going down the mountain at six o'clock. I planned to get up early to watch the sunrise. I was afraid of congestion and I couldn't see more beautiful scenery. It was a little regrettable. All photos are not processed for the original photos.
The terraces are so beautiful, they are green in summer, very popular
The golden pit terrace is suitable for friends with old people and children, because the ropeway is straight up and down and the scenery is beautiful on the ropeway. You can choose to take the ropeway and walk down the hill. Close contact with terraces. If you are allowed to stay on the top of the mountain for one night, you can get up early the next day to watch the sunrise. Terraces in June have been flooded, reflecting light like mirrors. The next day, unfortunately, it rained in the morning and did not see the sunrise, but it was beautiful to see the clouds and mists.
Jinkeng terrace, in the deepest part of Longji terrace, is almost two hours away from driving, so the team basically does not come here. There is a parking lot at the entrance of Jinkeng terrace. There will be many local people waiting for guests to stay here. There is no hotel in Jinkeng, but only a farmhouse. Jinkeng Scenic Area is very large. If you want to have a good time, you'd better stay overnight, so you can also see the beautiful sunrise and sunset. We didn't do our homework well. Longji Terraced Fields only played for one day. It was a little late to Jinkeng in the afternoon. After climbing the 1000-storey ladder, we went down the hill. In fact, there are still several viewing platforms behind. Unfortunately, we will stay for another night before leaving.
Longji Terrace has 4 sceneries in four seasons. It's beautiful and spectacular. Eleventh, the harvest season is in full swing. Looking at the yellow rice fields, the golden terraces are like ladders to the heavens - thousands of ladders to the heavens. Personally, I prefer to watch the sunrise from the No. 1 viewing platform. The sunrise spreads to the fields. The ripe rice glitters in the rising sun. It's worth going.

Because we take the old people with us, we go to Ping'an Village. It's a better way to walk. It's not tired to go up, but it's steep to go down. But it's still acceptable. It's slippery when it rains, but just be careful. Old people who are not very good in legs and feet suggest buying a crutch and walking a lot easier. The whole scenery is very admirable, spectacular do not want us to live on the hillside, the shop owner is very enthusiastic, to the scenic area door will come down to pick us up! In the evening, we had special bamboo chicken and rice! Very fragrant, but a bamboo tubular rice can be eaten by two people, a very large one. It reduces the risk of walking the wrong way. In addition, it is not recommended to bring luggage. It is too cumbersome. Looking at the old people's backpacks, I really feel sorry for them. I think they are very lucky and miserable! _______ Ticket prices are acceptable, old people's cards are 60, children under 16 are 47, and adults are looking for charter drivers to buy 95
