Live: Explore the splendid Longji Rice Terraces on the 'dragon's backbone' - Ep. 2

The Longji Rice Terraces in Longsheng, Guilin City, China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, are a magnificent cluster of terraced rice fields. Longji means dragon's backbone in Chinese, which is how the terraces that resemble a dragon's scales and the summit of the mountain range that looks like the dragon's backbone got their name. Built in the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC) and completed in the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the terraces have a history of at least 2,300 years, making them a globally important agricultural and cultural heritage site. Let's dive into the breathtaking view!
