We left our lovely Mountain Resort, for a one night stay at Longji rice terraces. Longshi rice terraces is where most of the rice is grown in China. The Longji rice terraces are the oldest terraces in China. Just to clarify, rice terraces look like a big set of staircases made out of rice plants. Of course, you can’t actually step on them, but from a far it looks like you could.
Lot’s of the hotels at the Longshi area look like a tsunami just crashed through them, but luckily ours didn’t. It was clean and nicely decorated, at least on the outside. We set out right away to go on a hike through the terraces. We hiked up a twisted trail to the top of the terraces. That is when the “paparazzi” started. Chinese people lined up with their cell phones, waiting to take a picture. My mom had promised us that they would want to take pictures of my brothers, because of their blond hair and blue eyes, so I was pleasantly surprised when people took pictures with me too. I befriended a nice Chinese woman, who, if I understood correctly, is from the south. She is staying in the same area of Longshi that I am, and her daughter goes to college in California. We chatted for a while about how beautiful the view is, until she had to go. My family and I hiked up to two different points on the mountain, over our two days there. I really enjoyed our stay Longshi, and I hope to go back again sometime.
