The Longji Rice Terrace Scenic Spot in Dazhaicun, China, is a breathtaking expanse of terraced rice fields that offers stunning panoramic views, especially at sunrise and sunset. Accessible via a combination of car and hiking trails, it is ideal for those who enjoy scenic walks and nature photography. While it's possible to visit solo, guided tours are recommended to fully appreciate the cultural and historical context provided by a knowledgeable guide. The best time to visit is from late April to mid-October, with the terraces displaying vibrant green paddies or shimmering water-filled fields depending on the season. The entrance fee is approximately ¥100, and you should plan to spend at least half a day exploring the terraces and nearby villages. Wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for some physical exertion.
