Longji Terraced Rice Fields China

Longji (Dragon's Backbone) Terraced Rice Fields received their name because the rice terraces resemble a dragon's scales, while the summit of the mountain range looks like the backbone of the dragon. Visitors standing on the top of the mountain can see the dragon's backbone twisting off into the distance. In an early morning, when the weather is fine, the sunrise on the summit of Longji Rice Terraces is magnificent.

Could you tell me if I go to Longsheng Rice Terraces in early May, can I still see the water filled terraces? (or the rice is already planted by this time?)

Usually, the best time to see the flooded terraces is from May 25 - June 10. After June 15 all the terraces will be planted.
