In the morning, you will be driven to Longsheng, where the magnificent Dragon Backbone Rice Terraces is located. The Dragon Backbone Rice Terraces were shaped by the local ethnic Zhuang and Yao farmers in more than 650 years. From the fertile river valley to the soaring mountain peaks, from the lush forest to the stone cliffs, every inch of soil is used for cultivation. In an area of 71.6 km2, 15862 patches of rice fields were constructed upward all the way from an altitude of 380m to 1180m. The undulating landscape with the winding and flowing curves resemble a giant abstract painting. Among the eye-dazzling rice fields, the biggest one is 413m2, while the smallest one will just allow you to put a foot into it. You will explore the terraces here.
