Life advice: You must visit Jiabang Rice Terraces in September to see the wind blowing through the rice waves.

🎈 I highly recommend seeing the wind blowing through the rice waves at Jiabang Rice Terraces! 😎 The rice here turns yellow earlier than at Longji Rice Terraces, and there are fewer people and it is more original. 👏 You can take a high-speed train from Guangzhou or Shenzhen in 4.5 hours, saving you the trouble of a long journey. 😃 If you want to avoid the crowds during National Day, then set off in September! 😉 The golden rice ears roll over the mountains, the rice is fragrant and the fish are fat, and you can fulfill two wishes at once by traveling during the off-peak season! ✨ 💥 Best time to view the golden rice terraces: Early September to mid-to-late September. 📍 Address: Jiabang Rice Terraces, Congjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. 🚄 Transportation: Take a high-speed train from Guangdong to Congjiang Station in 4.5 hours, which is very convenient. 😃 ✅ 4-day itinerary: Day 1-2: Congjiang - Zhaoxing Dong Village - Jiabang Rice Terraces. 😎 Day 3-4: Xia Yao Black Zhuang Village - Jiabang - Congjiang. 😃 💥 Must-do activities: ✔ The most beautiful autumn harvest season! Hike 6km through the Jiabang Rice Terraces, one of China's most beautiful rice terraces, and encounter the sunrise and sea of clouds. 😃 ✔ Go deep into the three major Miao, Zhuang, and Dong villages, eat long table banquets, and drink mountain spring water. 😋 ✔ Learn Guizhou batik and explore the traditional intangible cultural heritage. 👏 📷 Best shooting spots: 🔸 Dongpeng Rice Terraces: The same shooting spot as the Jiabang Rice Terraces tourism publicity photos, where you can experience the rice fragrance up close and watch the sunrise. 😃 🔸 Dangga Rice Terraces: The rice terraces with the most levels in Jiabang, stretching all the way down to the bottom of the valley. 😎 🔸 Three Households Rice Terraces: Famous for the farmhouses in the rice terraces, with only three houses nestled among them, like a paradise on earth. 😍 🏨 Where to stay: 1 night in a boutique guesthouse in Zhaoxing Dong Village, watch the lights of thousands of households. 😃 2 nights in a row in Jiabang Rice Terraces, where you can see the rice terraces, sunrise, and sea of clouds from your window. 😉 💥 Food and drink: ✔ Taste the hundred flavors of sour soup in Dongxiang Miao Village. Long table banquets, sour soup fish, beef noodles, free-range chicken soup, etc. 😋 ✔ Get the same delicious food as in "A Bite of China" in Xia Yao Black Zhuang Village. Roast piglets, Xia Yao wine, a specialty of Zhuang Village. 😃
