Travel Norm Aotearoa: Long Sheng Long Ji Rice Terraces 龙胜龙脊梯田

Today we going for day tour to visit LongJi rice terraces Long Sheng, 龙胜龙脊梯田, few hours drive from Gui Lin, we took tour package from tourism agent at Gui Lin, we survey few agent, compare on itinerary price, we choose the one optional to watch cultural performance at cultural village, long hair village, 瑶族长发表演, but even though we didn't watch that performance, that bus still stop at that village, and we need to wait whole bus of people, as we are the only one didn't join... we hang around the village, and visit those resident, is open for visit... not bad though, to experience their life... off course have to be caught by some sourvenior salesman, forgot if we bought any....

Different with Bali, you need to walk for some distance to reach viewing point, some photographer stay here few day to capture fantastic view... bit tough walk for some senior citizen, and there is service provide to carry people up, with man power...

We need to walk through a farmer village, and a lot is transform to restaurant, and hostel... we stop by this place for our lunch.... Famous local food is rice and chicken cooked in bamboo 龙脊竹筒饭, 土鸡... taste good... original....

Finally come to highlight of the day.... bird view on rice terraces.... All the mountain and river seem so far for pass few day is gift of god... natural scenic... but this view is effort of men... used to be the one who try to avoid from wars that always happen at flat landscape... Less competition at the mountain become a heaven for those who love peace.... but they need more effort to turn these challenges into their opportunity... Determination and passion that we should learn... nothing is impossible...

A lot name for many spot... i didn't name all... In order to ensure attractiveness for tourism, government is subsiding and controlling harvesting timing of those paddy... especially during golden holiday of China, during first week of Oct, cause color of paddy that time suppose to be brown, or gold color... and right time for harvesting....

We go back to Gui Lin at evening, this will be last night for this trip, as farewell to Guilin, we choose this luxury restaurant for our dinner, at Ah Gan restaurant that we always walk pass for few days... order some new taste and food that we like at Gui Lin... Gui Lin is inland which far from sea... fish that we eat for few days is from river or lake... and the "structure" of bone is so special in Y shape.. need extra careful while eating... wonder if this is same issue for local chinese....

After dinner... we go for some walk... i back to City in garden, garden in city, to snap photo on this glass made bridge... with different lighting effect...
