  2. Longji Rice Terraces

    Upon arrival, take the mountain road to Longji. Known as Longji Rice Terraces in Chinese, they were first established in the 13th century and completed at the start of the Qing Dynasty from 1,644 to 1,911. The magnificent terraces disperse at an altitude between 980 feet (300 meters) and 6,600 feet (1,100 meters) above sea level, and at a maximum slope of 50 degrees, creating an enormous scenic area of some 25 square miles (66 square kilometers). As the seasons change, the terraces take on a shifting colored appearance, silvery white in winter, green and lush in summer, golden in autumn, while in spring the water reflects the sky, the clouds, the mountains, the villages like a mirror. The landscapes are splendid. You can also visit the Yao village, a mysterious ethnic group that women keep very long hair. Besides, you can learn a lot about their culture and daily life, and enjoy their beautiful songs and delicious lunch. After the tour, the driver will take you back to your hotel. Service ends.

Private Tour to Guilin Longji Rice Terraces &Yao Minority Village: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Private Tour to Guilin Longji Rice Terraces &Yao Minority Village cost?

+

Prices start at $85 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 Private Tour to Guilin Longji Rice Terraces &Yao Minority Village take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 Private Tour to Guilin Longji Rice Terraces &Yao Minority Village worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Tour to Guilin Longji Rice Terraces &Yao Minority Village?

+

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 Private Tour to Guilin Longji Rice Terraces &Yao Minority Village suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Guilin Longji Rice Terraces &Yao Minority Village?

+

Around 0 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Tour to Guilin Longji Rice Terraces &Yao Minority Village 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.
