What you'll see and do

  1. Longji Rice Terraces

    In the morning, your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby at the appointed time. Then a 2-hour drive will take you to Longsheng, where you will visit the Longji Terrace Fields. Located approximately 27 kilometers southeast of Longsheng County, a vast region of rice terraces stretches layer upon layer, coiling around from the base of Longji Mountain to its summit. Upon arrival at the foot of the mountain, you will climb steps to the best observation point on the hillside. The graceful curve of the terrace is just like ribbons crosses or parallels with each other, winding to the sky. Lunch is arranged by yourself. Your guide will be happy to give you some advice.

    In the afternoon, continue your visit to explore the area in depth. Visit the local Zhuang village. After many years of vicissitudes, the local minority people still keep their traditional way of life and cultivation, and some of them do not like to be pictured. The women dress in unique and colorful costumes, singing, and dancing. It will be a unique cultural experience. When the trip is completed, you will be tansferred back to your hotel in Guilin.

1-Day Longsheng Rice Terrace Tour from Guilin with Private Guide & Driver: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guilin.

How much does 1-Day Longsheng Rice Terrace Tour from Guilin with Private Guide & Driver cost?

+

Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Guilin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 1-Day Longsheng Rice Terrace Tour from Guilin with Private Guide & Driver take?

+

Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Guilin is not rushed.

Is 1-Day Longsheng Rice Terrace Tour from Guilin with Private Guide & Driver worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Guilin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 1-Day Longsheng Rice Terrace Tour from Guilin with Private Guide & Driver?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 1-Day Longsheng Rice Terrace Tour from Guilin with Private Guide & Driver suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book 1-Day Longsheng Rice Terrace Tour from Guilin with Private Guide & Driver?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Guilin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Guilin and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 1-Day Longsheng Rice Terrace Tour from Guilin with Private Guide & Driver start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Guilin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Guilin?

+

On Outty we rank every Guilin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 1 Day Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo with Private Guide & Driver, 1-DAY Private Longji Rice Terraces and Minority Villages Tour, Longji Rice Terraces with Minority Village Private Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Guilin?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Guilin?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
