This day tour from Guilin visits two villages in the Longji Rice Terraces area: the Ancient Zhuang Village and Ping'an Village. With an English-speaking guide, walk through the Ancient Zhuang Village with its well-preserved old houses, and get a close look at ethnic minority life and culture through an eco-museum visit and a local home visit. On the hike across the terraces to Ping'an Village, watch the Yao women's long hair show and enjoy a Zhuang-style lunch with bamboo tube rice. Take in the terraces flowing along the mountains from the Seven Stars with Moon and Nine Dragons Five Tigers viewpoints, with no shopping stops.
