2016 China Trip Day 11 in LongSheng Rice Terrace & Elephant Trunk HIll, Guilin, GuangXi, China
The Longsheng Rice Terraces, also called the Longji Rice Terraces, are located in Longsheng County, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Guilin, Guangxi, China. The terraced fields are built along the slope winding from the riverside up to the mountain top, between 600 m to 800 m above sea level. A coiling terrace line that starts from the mountain foot up to the mountain top divides the mountain into layers of water in spring, layers of green rice shoots in summer, layers of rice in fall, and layers of frost in winter. The terraced fields were mostly built about 650 years ago. Longji (Dragon's Backbone) Terraced Rice Fields received their name because the rice terraces resemble a dragon's scales, while the summit of the mountain range looks like the backbone of the dragon. In early June, water is pumped over the rice paddies and young plants are transferred to the main terraces.
The Elephant Trunk Hill (Chinese: 象鼻山; pinyin: Xiàngbí Shān) is a hill, landmark and tourist attraction in Guilin, Guangxi, China. It is the symbol of the city of Guilin. It got its name because it looks like an elephant drinking water. The round opening that would be under the elephant’s trunk is known as Water-Moon Cave because at night the reflection of the moon can be seen through the arch and it looks as if it is under the water and floating on the surface of the water at the same time. Elephant Trunk Hill and Water-Moon Cave are located at the confluence of the Taohua River and the Lijiang River

Southern China (Guilin - Longsheng - Yangshuo)
This is a video that I made using some of the pictures that I shot during my trip to Southern China (November 2011).
I visited Guilin, with its pagodas on the peaks, its nature views and its modern centre. After that I visited Longsheng, a small village located a few km from Guilin where Yao people live and where there are some nice views on rice terraces. At the end of my trip I went to Yangshuo, a touristic town (full of people coming from many parts of China) near the Li river from where it's possible to do many boat trips or explorations all around, seeing amazing nature views (peaks around the river) and some old little towns.

Guilin & Longsheng | Adventure Travel, Tours & Holidays
For more information about our China tours, visit On The Go Tours:
Considered the pearl in the crown of China's thriving tourism industry, the attractive landscaped city of Guilin is famed for its idyllic scenery of undulating karst hills and verdant vegetation that span out from the Li River flowing through Guilin from north to south. Unsurprisingly, this striking landscape is often the subject of traditional Chinese painting and has long inspired the country's top artists. For many foreign visitors, Guilin and its scenery typifies the exotic Chinese landscape that they have previously only imagined.
Located two hours northwest of Guilin in a remarkably scenic corner of China, the county of Longsheng is home to some ten ethnic minority groups and surrounded on all four sides by forested mountains. The region is largely untouched by the modern world where wooden houses are squeezed between farmed terraces and villagers continue to use age-old farming techniques and dress in their colourful, traditional costume. However, the main attraction is the Dragon’s Backbone terraces where verdant rice fields coil around Mount Longji, climbing layer upon layer to its summit.
A trip to beautiful Yangshou Village of Guilin

Breathtaking Autumn Scenery Decorates China North to South
The late autumn breathtaking natural scenery is decorating China with amazing colors from north to south.
In Benxi City, northeast China's Liaoning Province, mountains covered with red autumnal leaves have attracted tourists both at home and abroad.
It's great! We have a feeling to go back to the nature, and it's all original ecology. Though it's late autumn now, I still feel the healthy beauty here. It's very beautiful, said Zhang Ping, a tourist.
In Tiantai County, east China's Zhejiang Province, and Jiuquan City, northwest China's Gansu Province, the pleasant climate attracts groups of egrets hovering over rivers.
While in Pinglu County, north China's Shanxi Province, due to the continuous temperature drop, over 400 whooper swans have arrived at the Yellow River Wetland to spend winter, which paints a bright color to the tranquil Loess Plateau.
Mount Emei in southwest China's Sichuan Province is enjoying a breathtaking autumn spell, with its landscape decorated with countless colors and shrouded in enchanting cloud belts.
Beautiful and colorful. It's indeed great. It's very beautiful, and our life is beautiful too, said Cui Shulan, a tourist from northeast China's Liaoning Province.
