The Longji Rice Terraces is one of the places in China that instills wonder. It’s a place that unifies its people and its native land. The humble land becomes their food and their magnificent masterpiece. Its towering rice fields become the landscape of everyone’s backyard. With each season comes a beautiful song with many voices and colors.  It begins in spring, when baby shoots grow side by side, sitting idly in the calming waterbeds that cover the land beyond the horizon.
