Longsheng Pingan Rice terrace      Located in northeast Guangxi, Longsheng was the earliest county established in southern China. Longsheng city is situated in a densely forrested area, 100km north of Guilin in the joint area of Heping River and Sang River. Longsheng itself is a rather ugly & noisy town, but it's a must stopover and transit hub for a trip to the famous Longji Rice Terrace in Ping'an and Jinkeng.
    
     The 60sqkm of terraced rice southeast of Longsheng were first built in the Yuan dynasty and completed in the Qing dynasty by Zhuang people,along the slope winding from the riverside up to the mountaintop, with the highest place of an elevation of 885m and the lowest 380m. The coiling line spirals up from the mountain foot to the top, making the mountain looks like huge snail seen from afar.
