Longji Terraced Fields look like ribbons and stretch layer upon layer from the foot of the mountain to the top. Zhuang and Yao minority people cultivated the fields for irrigation, tracing back to the Yuan dynasty. Lunch is arranged in a local restaurant that features local dishes. Then, visit the Zhuang and Yao minority villages to experience the unique Chinese ethnic group cultures.

The cruise arrives at Yangshuo, and you have the chance to explore Yangshuo. Take a bicycle trip to the countryside of Yangshuo. Biking along the paddy fields that surround the shaped mountains stops your pace to take pictures all the way through. A local family’s visit will give you an insight into the farmer's lifestyle.
