When is the best month to visit Longji Rice Terraces?

The best time to visit Longji Rice Terraces is from June to October.

The Ridge Terraces are composed of Xiaozhai, Jinkeng Dazhai, Ping'an Village and Guzhuang Village. Among them, Ping'an Village and Jinkeng Dazhai are the more famous. Ping'an Terraces were developed earliest and are more famous, while Jin'an Village is the most famous. The pit terraces were developed relatively recently, but the landscape is more spectacular.

In early June, the farmland begins to be irrigated. Under the sunlight, you can see sparkling terraces as far as the eye can see, which is very suitable for taking photos of sunrise and sunset. In early July, the rice seedlings begin to grow, and there are large tracts of rice fields. Green comes into view, full of green, like a beautiful picture.

In the harvest season of September and October, the rice is ripe and golden, and the golden world is everywhere. Especially when you stand on the observation deck and overlook the layers of terraces, it is so spectacular that it is shocking. The sunrise at the Ridge Terraces is beautiful and worth seeing.

The cultural value of the Longji Rice Terraces:

Here are the hanging horn trees that are embraced by the terraces, reflected by the water, blown by the shadows of clouds, and become ethereal in the sky. There are endless stretches of terraced fields, endless singing and drinking of folk songs, unique customs, and fragrant water and wine. Therefore, all these, together with the mountains, forests, and sea of ??clouds, constitute the profound cultural connotation of the Longji Terraces.

On the morning of November 24, 2017, the Globally Important Agricultural Cultural Heritage Expert Group Meeting held at the Rome headquarters of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reviewed multiple projects around the world that were applied for this time. Rice terraces in southern China (Including Longsheng Longji Rice Terraces in Guangxi, Youxi United Rice Terraces in Fujian, Hakka Rice Terraces in Chongyi, Jiangxi, and Ziquejie Rice Terraces in Xinhua, Hunan) were approved in principle.
