    What a great day!

    We had an amazing day with our tour guide Leo. The drive to the Longji Rice Terraces was very scenic and relaxing. The cable car ride up was interesting and showed the vastness of the terraces. As it was low season, there were very few people at the top of the mountain which was great. We had unfettered views of the terraces and it was very peaceful. After a ride back down the cable car, we stopped for lunch at a tea house. Here we experienced a tea tasting process/ceremony which was interesting. The owner of the tea house had tea with us and he was quite the character. He gifted us with tea which was very generous of him. The lunch was fresh and delicious. After lunch we had a short stroll through a village and then Leo drove us back to the hotel. Leo’s knowledge of the area and China was great. He’s a super nice guy and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this tour to any foreigners who want an authentic and well guided tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for booking the tour with us, and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and left such a positive review. Our one-day Longji Rice Terraces cable car adventure is especially suitable for travelers who prefer not to hike too much uphill or downhill, and we designed the tour with such needs in mind.

    Longji Dazhai Rice Terraces Day Tour with Cable Car: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Longji Dazhai Rice Terraces Day Tour with Cable Car cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 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 Longji Dazhai Rice Terraces Day Tour with Cable Car take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 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 Longji Dazhai Rice Terraces Day Tour with Cable Car worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 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 Longji Dazhai Rice Terraces Day Tour with Cable Car?

    +

    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 Longji Dazhai Rice Terraces Day Tour with Cable Car suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Longji Dazhai Rice Terraces Day Tour with Cable Car?

    +

    Around 3 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Longji Dazhai Rice Terraces Day Tour with Cable Car 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 Private Longji Rice Terraces and Minority Villages Tour, Longji Rice Terraces with Minority Village Private Day Tour, 1 Day Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo with Private Guide & Driver. 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.
