The Longji Terraces is 22.5 km from the county seat and 108 km. from the city of Guilin. The rice terraces were mostly built during the Ming Dynasty about 500 years ago on the hillsides. The coiling line that starts from the mountain foot to up to the mountain top divides the mountain into layers of water glittering in the sun in spring, layers of green rice shoots in summer, layers of golden rice in fall, and layers of silvery frost in winter. The terraces look like great chains or ribbons as they wind from the foot to the top of the hill. This ingenious construction makes best use of the scare arable land and water resources in the mountainous area.
