Longji Rice Terraces is one of China's most fabled rice terraces, with a history that stretches back 700 years. Yao and Zhuang ethnic minorities still work Longsheng rice terraces today on the fields at Ping'an and Dazhai village.
Longji has changed with the times and yet retains an ancient, legendary feel.
Join us on an adventure through the three main villages of Longji, talking to the locals and discovering what life is like on the terraces.
