Hiking from Pingan to Dazhai in Longsheng

Last weekend my colleagues and I went to Longji terraced filed for a two days hiking tour. On arrival of the entrance of Pingan terraced field, the view of the terraced filled was very impressive and we had one night stay in Mr. Liao's café&Inn(named Ting quan ge in Chinese), the boss(Mr. Liao)of the inn is a young guy of 23 years old, he was the boss and the cook, good at the Chinese and western style food. All the rooms of the hostel are made of Wooden. I've never stay in this kind of hotel room before, though the room is basic in its facility, I had a very good night sleep there. Wake up in the morning, the sun was shining and the yummy noodle of Mr. liao was ready, we had a big breakfast and started hiking.

 

We departs at 10:40 am and met many foreign tourists, they all had a local guide who can speak simple English or French for the hiking tour. We looked at the hiking guide board on the way and did the first part of the hiking by following other tourists. The road was bumpy and we got hungry half way, after 2 hours hike, we do not see any other tourists except an local long hair woman who was taking some wooden for cooking. She took us to a store near her home for some snacks and suggests being our guide for the rest of the tour.After a quick bargain, she promised to lead us to Dazhai with a total cost of CNY25, we started our tour again. By 4:30 pm, we arrived Dazhai terraced filed and finished the tourJ.The scenery on the road was terrific even though it was not the best season. Go there in April or Oct, you will see more of it.
