Creation

Name
The term Long Ji translates as Dragon's Back, the popular English name for the terraces.
When
to visit
The time you go will affect what you see. The paddies are lush green with growing rice stalks in the summer. After the fall harvest, paddies are exposed bare soil (no greenery or water). They are later filled with water, forming reflecting pools. They remain that way until the first rice shoots appear in the spring.
