Today we went with our Friend Chang Dan, on a personal tour of the Rice Terraces and the Longi Village.
The Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces is a beautiful natural picture. The linked together rice terraces vary from season to season. In spring, the water is irrigated into the fields and the terraces look like great chains or ribbons hung on the hillsides. When the on set of summer, green waves rush continuously down the mountainside from the heaven. The theme of autumn is the harvest, with the mountainside decorated with the gold of ripened millet. Coming into winter, the whole mountain will be covered with white snow, just like dragons playing with water.
As well as its amazing scenery, Longji is also the area to visit to experience Chinas ethnic minorities' culture. The Zhuang and the Yao nationalities live here, though mainly it is the Zhuang people. The women dress in unique and colorful costumes, singing and dancing.

They have fish, turtle, crawfish, crabs, chickens, ducks, bamboo rats (yes you read correctly), and snakes. You name it!! You pick your animal or reptile they kill it and cook it. You really can not get an
y FRESHER than that! We had duck soup, beef with vegetables (the beef here is a water buffalo as they do not have cows here. They import their cows from New Zealand and use the cow to produce milk only, as they are very expensive.), pork noodles and sweet & sour chicken.
