Reviews
The guide was very attentive and helpful. He used a translator the whole time so we wouldn't miss anything. Very nice and pleasant!
Great weather, quick/convenient transportation in a nine-seater van, and we were recommended to a better viewing platform. Eating within the scenic area is a bit expensive, and there are no single-person meal options.
The Longji Rice Terraces are a stunning earth sculpture. Under the sun, they look like a mountain of mirrors; in the mist, they resemble a fairyland. The lines are like verses flowing for thousands of years. They are truly beautiful.
Great experience! The guide didn't speak English but contacted me the day before to let me know about the hotel pick-up. The tour was true to the description, only the group preferred to go to the rice fields by van rather than by cable car, which meant a small extra charge. I recommend it!
Tour guide is good and responsible person. Heavy rain when we reached the rice terraces yesterday so we can see much. The bus journey was quite far total hours sitting in the bus plus cable car take about be 6 hours.
I made an appointment with my friends to go out and play together. It was very interesting. We will come again next time.
With spirits in the mountains and souls in the fields, every step here lands you in a chapter of a fairy tale.
The tour guide took great care of all the group members and provided detailed explanations of everything at the attractions. They also answered all of our questions, and we were all very satisfied with the tour.
I was the only foreigner on a Chinese tour, but they used a translation app to give me information about the meeting time and other details. I was also able to exchange WeChat contacts beforehand, which made me feel secure about participating. I'm very satisfied and highly recommend it.
is a long day but trip was well organised and executed...strongly recommended.
