What a fantastic trip! I booked the early trip and I'm very glad I did because it got very hot in the middle of the day and very busy! Andy is very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the rice fields and helped me take some great pictures! After the rice fields, we went to the village and I got to see the long hair show and it was amazing to watch the ladies perform! There were great photo opportunities as well at the bridge and Andy had a lot of information to share about the Drum Towers!
Take your camera and hike around the rice terraces in Longji which is kongfu star Jackie Chan’s Movie “Skip Trace “ filmed here. I used camera keep all the memories down.I know why they opened the fields like this ? I know how they get the water for the rice growing? I know how they farm.....I found all the answers. Photo just is a picture but tells us story behind......welcome to jion me to visit rice terraces and the Chenyang beautiful bridge!
