The extraordinary LongJi (Dragon’s Backbone) rice terraces, GuangXi province
With EpicGlobe Walks ... Visitor Guide to the Longji Dragon’s Backbone Rice Terraces Introduction The Longji Dragon’s Backbone Rice Terraces, Longsheng County, Guangxi Province, are one of the most breathtaking agricultural landscapes in the world. These terraces, which resemble a dragon’s scales, were first built during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) and have been maintained by the local Zhuang and Yao communities for centuries. The terraces are a testament to human ingenuity and harmony with nature. Best Time to Visit The Longji Rice Terraces are stunning year-round, but the best times to visit are: Spring (April–May): The terraces are filled with water, creating a mirror-like effect that reflects the sky and surrounding mountains. Summer (June–August): The rice paddies are lush and green, offering a vibrant landscape. Autumn (September–October): The rice turns golden, creating a warm, picturesque scene. Winter (November–February): The terraces are sometimes covered in snow, offering a serene and unique view. How to Get There The Longji Rice Terraces are approximately 100 kilometers from Guilin. Here’s how to reach them: By Bus: Take a bus from Guilin Bus Station to Longsheng (about 2 hours). From Longsheng, transfer to a local bus or taxi to the terraces (another 1 hour). By Private Car: Hiring a private car or taxi from Guilin is a convenient option and takes about 2.5 hours. By Tour: Many tour operators in Guilin offer day trips to the terraces, including transportation and guided tours. Main Attractions 1.

The US prepares for war on China
Because China will not become another US slave state. World domination has long been the intention of the US. Hundreds of coups and wars have shown this. So much of the world has been kept down by the US. And the intention re China is clear from all the MIC backed 'think tanks' (tanks to control your mind). With Danny HaiPhong ... US puppet states (slaves) = the 'free world'. China's rising economy is about to 'collapse' (has been for for decades, they say).

The US wants world dominion (and has for decades); while China seeks world development. Hopefully the slave nations are beginning to see the light on why they have been crushed for so long and will choose wisely. The world needs win-win. With Cyrus Janssen and Reportify Media ...
