Rice Terraces of Dragon Backbone

A life on mountains

The yellow rood behind the village in the distance… That was the hotel we stayed last night.  A hotel hidden in high mountains, surrounded by rice terraces. When I opened the window of my room in the early morning, the cloud caped mountains and rice paddies formed a perfect picture of parades

The village nearby is “Longji GuZhuangZhai”, Dragon backbone ancient village of Zhuang Minority Ethnic in Chinese, life of villagers is kept in the traditional way as hundreds of years before. Compare with newly built hotels, restaurants and gift shops everywhere in PingAn village, we were so lucky to find a place like this to stay overnight here.

Our hotel was 10 minute walking from the village, the hotel staff told me: the villagers insisted on keeping distance with this newly built hotel from interrupting their daily life, this was the promise the hotel agreed when they started to build this building. It was a brilliant idea for the hotel owner realize this distance, we saw many native culture was destroyed by tourists’ invasion.
