Shuttle bus (fare: 6.5 yuan, 8 yuan, time: 7:00-17:00, every 20 minutes, journey time 1 and a half hours), after arriving at Dahu Mountain, there are minibuses and motorcycles that can go directly to Dahu Mountain Dazhai, ticket price is 3 yuan.

Tickets: 30 yuan, the ticket office is in the Ping An parking lot on the mountain.

Food: The transportation in Dazhai is inconvenient, there is little fresh pork, meat dishes are 10-15 yuan more expensive, and ordinary dishes are 5-6 yuan. The transportation in Ping'an Village is relatively convenient. Basically, all kinds of dishes are available at moderate prices. What you eat in these two places are home-cooked dishes, so you don’t have to worry too much about the taste.

Accommodation: The hotels in Pingan Longji are all unique stilted wooden buildings built by local villagers. The facilities are relatively simple and there is hot water. The hotel section of Ping'an Village has double rooms with private bathrooms. Reference price: 10-15 yuan/person for a multi-person room, 20 yuan/person for a double room, and 30 yuan/person for a double room with a separate bathroom. Places where you can stay in Dazhai include Dazhai Village and Tiantou Village. Generally, you stay in Tiantou Village, where there are many hotels and are close to the scenic spots. The reference price is 10-20 yuan/person/bed. The accommodation conditions in Longji Village are very poor, so it is best not to stay there.

Best time to visit: The best time to visit Longji is after the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month every year when the terraces start to release water, which lasts for half a month; and every year after the Mid-Autumn Festival Half a month. The snow scene in Longji is also great, but the timing of the snow is uncertain and depends on luck.

Best viewing and shooting location: Ping An Seven Stars with the Moon Attraction: The photos taken are very beautiful, and it is a good place for photography enthusiasts.

Ping'an Kowloon Five Tigers Attraction: It is smaller than the terraces in Dazhai, but it is also very distinctive.

Dazhai Attraction No. 1: relatively high, you can watch the sunrise or sunset.

Dazhai Attraction No. 2: relatively close, suitable for watching the sunrise.

Dazhai Attraction No. 3 ("Da Maogai"): the farthest, highest and most spectacular attraction, many photos are from this place.

The better viewing point in Longji Village is the high point of the village, where there is a stone road; there is also a very good location on the way to Ping'an Village. A house was built.

Tips:

1. Ping'an Village has been visited by many tourists in recent years, so the local business atmosphere is very strong. It is best to negotiate the price before taking any action. To avoid unnecessary disputes.

2. When walking in the village to find scenic spots, be sure to remember to walk along the stone road. If you really don’t know, just ask the farmers working on the roadside, what will they know? Very enthusiastic in giving directions.

3. When watching a performance in the village, be sure to ask if there is any charge.

The vegetables are all homegrown, as well as wild vegetables. The current season happens to have wild celery and wild leeks, which are very fragrant~~ The cucumbers have not grown yet, but the cucumbers from Longji can be eaten as fruit. In the north, they are called dry cucumbers, which are very sweet. You can also ask for bamboo tube rice for 6 yuan/tube

Breakfast rice noodles are 5 yuan (with eggs), and a bottle of beer is 5 yuan. Longji water wine is very famous and is one of the three treasures. It's too sweet but has a lot of staying power. It seems to cost one yuan a cup... The other two treasures of Longji are chili pepper and cloud tea, which I have not tried.

The hygiene is a little worse. The price is worth mentioning, but it will not be more expensive than a family hotel. There is also Longji Ancient Zhuang Village, which does not have a special hotel. You have to live in other people's homes. There are many ancient houses.

OK

Longji is a good place for hiking. It is basically a stone road. It is recommended to wear non-slip Jiefang shoes or hiking shoes or sports shoes with soft and thick soles. Don’t wear hiking boots with Wilbur soles. It is also necessary to bring a pair of beach shoes.

Hiking route:

1. The whole journey

Jinjiang Village at the foot of the mountain - Longji Ancient Zhuang Village (up the mountain, 2 hours) - Pingan Village 2 Attraction No. 1 (Ping Road, half an hour) - Ping'an Village Attraction No. 1 (Ping Road, half an hour) - Sixth Form (1 and a half hours) - Tian Touzhai (1 and a half hours) - Dazhai - Jiangcha (1 and a half hours) - Dahu Mountain - Shuanghekou (there are already cars and the road is being built, 2 and a half hours)

2. Tiantou Village

There are three scenic spots: different directions and not connected to each other. It takes half an hour or 40 minutes to reach attraction No. 1; 10 minutes or 20 minutes to reach attraction No. 2; and 1 hour to reach attraction No. 3.

Also

Suggestion 1: Local people have the habit of leading and carrying backpacks for tourists, which is acceptable, but the price must be negotiated. Generally, a 2-hour trip costs about 10 yuan or 20 yuan, right? (Because I didn’t have anyone to guide me the last time I went there, and I did not have a backpack the previous time.) It depends on the level of bargaining.

Suggestion 2: The local people are simple and simple, and there are no forked roads in some sections. You can ask for directions by yourself. Of course, it is better to have someone to guide you.

Reminder 1: The entrance fee for the entire terraced scenic spot is 30 yuan.

Reminder 3: Since you must stay in the mountains for one night, you can call and contact us first. First, you can ask about the train number, second, you can book a room, and third, you can agree to have someone from the hotel pick you up.

Reminder 4: Anyone who is obsessed with sex must go to Tiantou Village. The journey from Guilin to Longsheng takes nearly 3 hours because there are many landslides on the newly built road up the mountain in Longsheng. The express bus costs 15 yuan and the regular bus costs 12 yuan. The mountain springs on Longji are drinkable, but those flowing out of the rice fields are not, so be careful to identify them.
