  • Ping’an Trekking

    There are two main viewing points in Ping'an—Viewpoint 1, or "Nine Dragons and Five Tigers", and Viewpoint 2, "Seven Stars with Moon", both of which are easily accessible from the main village in a loop that is well signposted and takes about 1.5 hours.


    A great way to enjoy the whole of Longji Rice Terraces is to start in Ping'an and then hike across to neighboring Dazhai, a Yao village about 4-5 hours away on foot. You can choose to walk back or take the local bus which takes about 40 minutes. Take some water and snacks with you.
