Detailed Tour Itinerary:
Meet your tour guide in the morning at your hotel lobby in Guilin (or Yangshuo) and travel to the Jinkeng Rice Terraces, which is approximately 2 x hours North of Guilin.
The first stop is Xiaozhai Village, which is a smaller village adjacent to the larger Dazhai Village at the Jinkeng Rice Terraces. Xiaozhai Village allows visitors to avoid the large tour groups that mainly travel directly to Dazhai Village for the cable car and gives an insight into the Yao ethnic minority culture. |
Upon arriving into Xiaozhai Village, you will experience a low-key Yao ethnic minority lady's long-hair demonstration, where she will unwrap her hair and our guide will explain the history behind this custom where a woman's hair is only cut once in their entire lives!
Following the private low-key long-hair demonstration, you will enjoy a traditional meal, a local specialty from the Longji Rice Terraces consisting of bamboo chicken and various vegetables for lunch. This is a local specialty enjoyed by visitors from all over the world with unique and fresh flavors. It's also a historical dish and your guide will explain the background behind it's popularity. |
Thereafter, depart Xiaozhai Village and walk in the direction of Tiantouzhai Village. You will hike throughout the rice terraces for a few hours, exploring the various villages, viewpoints and enjoying the different scenery along the way. Visitors have flexibility with the amount of hiking they'd like to partake in and please communicate with your guide on the day so it can be planned.
Upon arriving into Tiantouzhai Village and the viewpoint, you've reached the endpoint of the day's hike and so you will return downhill to the base of the terraces (Dazhai Village) where your private driver will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel in Guilin/Yangshuo. END OF TOUR. |
