Longji Rice Terraces

#chinatravel Alright so Long Ji Rice Terrace was straight up magical. I wasn't even planning to hike much but once I saw those endless layers of green just wrapping around the mountains I couldn’t stop walking. It feels like something out of a fantasy movie. Everywhere you look it’s just like wow how is this even real. I went early in the morning and the clouds were still hugging the hills so it looked super dreamy. The villages around there are tiny and cozy and the locals are chill. Some even invite you in for tea or food which was awesome. And shoutout to the grandma who let me try homemade rice wine. That stuff hits. The trails aren’t hard but bring comfy shoes because you’ll definitely wanna wander off and explore random little paths. If you're into nature or just want to see something totally different from city life this place is a must. Pics don't do it justice. Just go.
