Longji Rice terraced field - Photos by juliejade, China, Guangxi Province, Guilin
Panorama of the Ping An terraced fields are built along the slope winding from the riverside up to the mountain top, the highest part being 880m in elevation while the lowest part is 380 m. The coiling line that starts from the mountain foot up to the mountain top divides the mountain into layers of water glittering in the sun in spring,layers of green rice shoots in summer, layers of golden rice in fall, and layers of silvery frost in winter. When talking about Longsheng in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, people are likely to mention the beautiful terraces, but for me it is the local women with their long and black hair who are the locality's most charming feature
