About 90km northwest of Guilin city, Longji (meaning "dragon's backbone") is located at a forested mountainous area. You will be amazed by feats of farm engineering going all the way up a string of 2400 feet ( 800 m ) mountains. The 66-square-km network irrigation project was began by the ethnic Zhuang in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), and finished by the Qing (1644-1911).
Further uphill Zhuang and Yao people two-story cabins are nestled against the breathtaking man-made wonder. The layout of the village mimics the terraces fields' symmetry, giving an appearance that the houses are stacked on top of one another- an integrated part of the land.
