Next for me, Rosie, Matt Ollie and Zak was a day trip to Longsheng to see the Dragons Backbone Rice Terraces. After a journey of 3 hours on a bus, to be told it was another 2 hours into the hills, however to then be told just over the hills by another guide, we decided to go with the 'just over the hills' so we jumped into what was basically a motorbike pulling a trailer with a tin roof. There were plenty times we thought it wasn't going to make it, it would have been quicker to push it up some of the hills, but we got there eventually and the journey was really nice as we had a clear view out the back. It did end up taking the two hours we were first told, but the journey was well worth it!

Once there, everywhere we looked around us was hills covered in terraces, and to get to the view points we walked through little old villages where the people sat out in their traditional dress. Following small winding paths up and over hills, each lead to a new view. At the top of one of which we sat looking across the hills having a quick ice-cream before heading back down.
