Introducing Lóngshèng
Close to the Guìzhōu border, this town and the surrounding area is home to a colourful mixture of Dong, Zhuang, Yao and Miao cultures. The Dragon’s Backbone Rice Terraces and a wēnquán (hot spring) are also nearby.

Buses (Y5) to the hot spring pass through rolling hills sculptured with rice terraces and studded with Yao and Zhuang villages. It’s possible to desert the bus around 6km from the hot spring and take off into the hills for some exploring. Other tourist sights around Lóngshèng include forest reserves and unusual stone formations.
When you return from the day’s outing, Lóngshèng offers cheap to midrange accommodation, and even cheaper food at its lively night market.
