Lóngshèng Tītián, Dazhai, Guangxi Province

The second part of our trip this past winter was to Guangxi Province in the South of China. We flew to Guilin and from there took a bus to the Lóngshèng Tītián. These terraced rice paddies are often referred to as the Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces and they are absolutely unbelievable.

We were traveling off season and were pleased to meet two very nice Chileans on the bus from Longsheng to Dazhai. We arrived in Dazhai and hiked around a little visiting a few different family hotels before choosing the Da Yao Zhai Tavern. The owners of this hotel are Yao Chinese and this village is famous for it's long haired women.

We were there in the winter. All alone we wandered through the terraces. It was quiet, misty and magical...

The pictures below are from the 7 hour hike we took the day after we arrived. Looking back I still struggle to find the words to describe how breathtakingly beautiful it was.
