I was truly blown away!!
The moment I stood on the observation deck, it was as if I had fallen into a thousand-year-old farming dream. 🌾
Autumn at the Longji Rice Terraces is a palette of colors overturned by heaven. Layers of golden color spread from the foot of the mountain to the clouds. The terraces shimmer like dragon scales, winding through the mountains.
I came to Guangxi and visited 3 cities, Nanning, Guilin, and Yangshuo. The most recommended places are Longji Rice Terraces and Ping'an Village. The recommended month is September, which is the off-season. The price is affordable, there is a direct bus to the scenic area, which is convenient and all green.

The scenery is stunning, and one ticket covers several terraced fields. The sightseeing bus is unlimited and stops whenever you wave. The staff are very friendly. Aside from the local villagers' restaurants and guesthouses, all other businesses appear to be owned by the scenic area. The service is excellent, and the area isn't overly commercialized. It's also relatively quiet, making it a very comfortable experience. The only downside is that some teenagers are racing motorcycles in the area at night, which is noisy and unsafe.
The scenic area is beautiful, the service is good and very humane, the performances of the villagers in Zhaoxing Dong Village are very good, the Jiabang Rice Terraces are really beautiful, especially the No. 1 Observation Deck. It's a pity that we missed the evening fireworks show because the sightseeing bus did not arrive on time. Therefore, we hope that the Jiabang Rice Terraces Scenic Area can pay attention to the scheduling of sightseeing buses. In the morning, some tourists also reported that they waited for nearly an hour at the No. 6 Observation Deck bus stop. Originally, the sightseeing bus inside the scenic area is a very good service, but we should pay attention to the phenomenon of not leaving on time.

It's just so-so~~ Compared to the price, it's just so-so, with average cost-effectiveness~~~ There are many still life exhibits inside, and each person has a headset to listen to the explanation. If the children are more interested in history and culture, it's ok to walk for 2 hours, but I don't recommend eating osmanthus ice cream, it's too sweet, with a strong flavor of essence.
20230315 afternoon:
1. "Osmanthus Commune" is a new factory-run scenic spot with osmanthus as the theme. It presents the nature, humanities, applications and commodities of Guilin osmanthus in a comprehensive and detailed manner. The indoor audio-visual and scenery visual effects are shocking.
① Address: No. 18, Yangjiang Road, Xiufeng District, Guilin City.
② Transportation: Direct bus access, easy parking by car.
③ Peak season: None.
④ Time: 2 hours
2. The scenic spot has free guided tours, mainly indoors. Entering the exhibition hall, the welcoming mural is a nine-layer hollow carving painting, using the artistic expression of "overlapping colors". It is very beautiful after the tour guide turns on the lights. The content shows the top scholar, "Sun and Moon Twin Towers", Guilin landscape and other contents. Then we entered the history and popular science introduction hall of Guilin and osmanthus. Hanging above his head was a carbonized osmanthus seed that was confirmed to be 10,000 years old after carbon 14 testing. It was unearthed from Zengpi Rock in Guilin and is the earliest osmanthus seed in the world. The natural growth, varieties, and relationship of osmanthus with Guilin were introduced in the form of pictures, texts, wax figures, etc.
3. Entering the audio-visual hall, there is a 5D film introducing Guilin and osmanthus. The visual effects are magnificent and shocking, and the images of stepping on the ground make people feel like they are there. The popular science wall behind introduced the types of osmanthus. The next exhibition hall shows the application of osmanthus. Osmanthus is used in traditional Chinese medicine (there is a bronze sculpture of Li Shizhen compiling "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is a photo spot), osmanthus honey, aromatherapy, wine making, cosmetics, etc.
4. The next hall "Laoguan•Zhuangyuan Jidi" shows the relationship between osmanthus and the eight champions in Guilin's history. The colorful decorative lights above the head are densely hanging down like vast stars, and the color changes are extremely beautiful. The statue of the number one scholar holding a book and studying hard under the osmanthus tree turned the hall from a dream into reality. The semi-stereoscopic wall sculpture of the number one scholar, the simulated banquet before going to Beijing for the imperial examination (local officials would treat students to a meal before going to Beijing for the "palace examination" because the students would most likely serve as officials in the same court in the future), and the subsequent light and shadow animation were warmed up and paved the way. The animation was a segment of ancient figures projected on a painted relief painting, similar to a shadow play, and interpreted the last "three-level successor" in Chinese history (the first place in the provincial examination, the joint examination, and the palace examination. There are only 13 people in the 1,300-year history of the Chinese imperial examination, which can be regarded as a top scholar in ancient China that only appeared once every 100 years), the whole process of Chen Jichang from Guilin participating in the imperial examination and passing the imperial examination, eating osmanthus cake as a ration, and the strong Guilin style left a deep impression on me.
5. The next stop hall introduces the brewing of osmanthus wine. It is the first time I have seen the video of the star screen. It is very novel. The surrounding windows use colorful clay figures to introduce the brewing process of osmanthus wine. Then there is a visual feast of colorful wine bottles, densely packed ancient and modern wine bottles, and a wall composed of 2,888 bottles of dried osmanthus. With the help of mirror reflection, the visual effect is doubled. I can't help but admire the extraordinary skills of the designer of this scenic spot, but people with intensive phobia have to walk with their eyes closed.
6. Next is the children's amusement theme hall, where you can find the hidden osmanthus elves in the murals, which is similar to the game of "Everyone Come to Find the Difference". Further ahead are the ancient workshops and modern workshops of osmanthus products...
The word count exceeds the limit, and continue in the last picture.

The weather was not good, it was cloudy and drizzling, the temperature was only 18 degrees, it was freezing. If it was sunny, it would be very beautiful, with a large meadow. I also saw foals and cattle and sheep along the way. It was cute.
The park, nestled high in the mountains, is a prime summer escape in Chongqing. While you can drive in, you'll need to park in the parking lot to access the grasslands and the popular Wave Road. You'll need to take a small train or walk. We chose to walk, which was entirely through the woods. The scenery was stunning and quiet, and the walk was easy for anyone with average energy. Overall, the price was a good value for the scenery.

The Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden lives up to its reputation as "the most beautiful cherry blossom garden on the blue planet." 700,000 cherry trees are in full bloom across 24,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of land. The vibrant sea of pink and white blossoms, set against the backdrop of emerald green tea fields and sparkling lakes, creates a breathtaking spring scene. Strolling through it feels like stepping into a dreamlike fairytale.
As soon as you step into the park, it feels like you have walked into a pink fairy tale world. Seven hundred thousand cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the pink and white all over the mountains are as misty as clouds, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Surrounding it is the Red Maple Lake, the blue water of the lake, which contrasts with the cherry blossom forest, forming a picturesque scenery. Taking a boat to enjoy the cherry blossoms can experience a different kind of romance.
The facilities in the park are also relatively complete. The observation deck allows you to overlook the panoramic view and feel the shock of the sea of cherry blossoms. There are also folk music performances on the open-air stage, coupled with a coffee market and a cultural and creative food exhibition, so that you can enjoy a feast of culture and food while enjoying the flowers. The only drawback is that there is a disguised secondary charge for the shuttle bus and sightseeing bus in the park, which affects the play experience to a certain extent. But overall, the beauty of Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden is still worth a visit, and it is a check-in destination that cherry blossom lovers cannot miss.

There is nothing particularly special in the Zhaoxing Dong Village. It is much smaller than the Qianhu Miao Village, and there are not many places to visit. However, I went to the Tang'an Terraces on the mountain at sunset. I was amazed and took a lot of great photos!
Zhaoxing Dong Village is full of local characteristics. The attractions are relatively small and you can explore them all by renting a small electric vehicle. There are also many foods to eat and many tie-dye shops where you can experience them with your children.

While climbing the mountain, the weather was bad and it was raining, but the cable car was running normally. From the cable car, I could see clouds and mist lingering over the mountains. After coming down the mountain, there was free ginger water available nearby. After feeling the cold and humidity on the mountain, drinking a cup of ginger water really warmed my stomach, body, and heart!
I was very lucky to see the fairy-like side of Fanjing Mountain and the side with blue sky and white clouds. Finally, I was fortunate to see the beautiful sunset and the beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds. It was amazing and worth the trip!

It's certainly commercialized, feeling like a hodgepodge of businesses, with all sorts of shops, mostly for travel photography, hotels, and restaurants. But while business is business, it's not as bad as people say online. It's worth a visit, mainly to see the Miao architecture, experience the ethnic minority culture, and try the local cuisine. The night view is stunning, with thousands of lights, reminiscent of a scene from Spirited Away. It's photogenic, no wonder so many people wear Miao clothing for photos. It's truly beautiful, but a single visit is enough. Entrance fees aren't expensive compared to many scenic spots nationwide, so I recommend staying inside. Accommodation in a room with a view is more expensive, with standard rooms still costing around 100-200 RMB. However, I recommend getting one with a view; the night view is truly stunning. Cars aren't allowed inside the scenic area, so if you're staying there, don't bring too much luggage. The roads are hilly and difficult to climb. It's better if the hotel can help with your luggage. Hotels generally don't have elevators, so you have to climb stairs, which can be very uncomfortable, especially with a suitcase. As for the food, many people might not be used to the sour soup, which tastes like mountain pepper oil and contains zheergen (Houttuynia cordata). However, black pork skewers and rice noodles are more palatable. I recommend buying a scenic bus ticket, which costs 5 yuan per trip. The combined ticket, which comes with the entrance fee, is 110 yuan, allowing you to ride the bus four times per person: two round trips to the North Gate and two round trips to Observation Deck No. 1 at the West Gate. It's a bit far to walk with luggage. I wouldn't recommend the "Beautiful Xijiang" performance inside the scenic area. They sell calligraphy and paintings, and the show isn't particularly impressive. It's a bit pricey: 190 yuan for VIP, but 170 yuan for locals. In summary, the scenic area is worth a visit, mainly to see the Miao village architecture and culture. The night view is stunning, a must-see!
Arriving at Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in the evening, I was instantly struck by the vast expanse of stilt houses! The setting sun shone on the green-tiled wooden buildings, and amidst the curling smoke from cooking fires, thousands of lights gradually illuminated the mountains. Dots of light scattered across the valley resembled stars, creating a captivating atmosphere in every photo. A light mist enveloped the village in the early morning, and the terraced fields and the Miao village complemented each other. Walking along the stone paths, listening to Miao songs, was filled with a sense of quaint charm.
The only downside is the high prices. Food and handicrafts within the scenic area are significantly more expensive than outside, with a typical meal costing 100 yuan per person. Simple silver jewelry is also not cheap, which somewhat detracts from the experience. However, for the stunning scenery of the Miao village, it's still worth the trip.

In the morning, I embarked on a journey to Longji Terraces with anticipation. Along the way, the scenery outside the car window gradually changed from the hustle and bustle of the city to the tranquility of the countryside, and my mood became relaxed.
When we arrived at Longji Terraces, the sun was shining. Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up, the terraces are stacked layer by layer, like waves of the earth, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which is magnificent. The sun shines on the terraces, sparkling, as if covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze.
Climbing up the mountain road, you can feel the magic of nature with every step. The lines of the terraces are beautiful and smooth, like a scroll carefully drawn by nature. On the ridges, you can occasionally see hardworking farmers working, who are integrated with the terraces, forming a vivid pastoral landscape.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire terrace, the view is suddenly clear. The mountains in the distance are undulating, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the terraces are looming in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland. The breeze blew, and the rice ears swayed gently, making a rustling sound, as if telling an ancient legend.
The beauty of Longji Terraces lies not only in its magnificence, but also in the farming wisdom and cultural heritage it contains. This trip made me deeply feel the magic of nature and the wisdom of mankind, which made me unforgettable for a long time.
Guangxi Jinkeng Dazhai Red Dragon Terraces are really shocking! Panshan Highway is winding all the way, I am still motion sickness, and the result is to the ground, this trip is too worth it! The cascading terraces, like a ladder, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the scale is beyond imagination. When I went there, it happened to be in time for the release period. The sun was shining and the water was sparkling, which was like a dream world. I took the ropeway, the scenery, the beauty of 360 degrees without dead ends. Walking on the stone road, next to the hanging tower and terraces, full of fireworks, so healing!

Covering 5,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres), it's six times the size of Huaxi Park and is ideal for hiking, boating, picnics, and wilderness survival training. The area around Nanzhumen, with its large mountains and dense forests, needs to improve bridge guardrail repairs and establish a leisure station.
The natural landscape is beautiful
- The lake and mountains complement each other: Guanshan Lake and Jinhua Lake in Guanshan Lake Park are like two shining pearls. The lake water is clear and the water level is balanced all year round. The water ripples and sparkles. The lakeshore is winding, surrounded by undulating mountains, shaded by green trees, and the mountains and waters are interdependent, forming a natural landscape painting.
- The beauty of each season is unique: in spring, cherry blossoms are in full bloom on Cherry Blossom Avenue, like clouds and rosy clouds, and peach blossoms, plum blossoms, etc. are also blooming in colorful colors; in summer, the green shade on the Plantain Avenue is like a cover, and the lush trees provide tourists with a cool summer resort; in autumn, the pine cones on the Cedar Avenue are full of branches, golden, and the colorful autumn leaves are intertwined, forming a colorful puzzle; in winter, the branches of various trees show a different style in the cold wind, and sometimes a thin mist rises on the lake, like a fairyland.
Superior and harmonious ecological environment
- Fresh and pleasant urban green lung: The park covers a total area of more than 5,500 mu, with a forest area of 4,160 mu. It is the urban "green lung" of Guanshan Lake District. The park is rich in vegetation and high in negative oxygen ions, just like a natural oxygen bar, providing fresh and pleasant air for citizens and tourists.
- Harmonious coexistence of biodiversity: The ecological wetland composed of Guanshan Lake and Jinhua Lake has a water area of about 600 mu, attracting hundreds of egrets, wild ducks and other birds to live here. They either play on the lake or rest on the branches, complementing the surrounding natural landscape, presenting a harmonious and symbiotic ecological picture.
Unique cultural landscape
- Deep and rich cultural heritage: The park has cultural landscapes such as the National Culture Corridor and the Bronze Drum Square. The National Culture Corridor displays the relevant content of 56 ethnic groups and nine traditional ethnic minority sports games. The Bronze Drum Square is home to statues with a strong Guizhou ethnic minority style. These landscapes fully demonstrate the rich ethnic minority culture of Guizhou.
