Why do you still use Longji terraces in the traditional way?

People living in Longji have cultivated terraces for generations, and still retain the original farming methods. They live in harmony with nature and form a unique terrace culture. According to experts' research, Longji ancestors began to cultivate farmland here more than 2300 years ago. Longji terraced fields are built according to the mountainous terrain, with an area of 1 174 hectares, generally distributed between 300 meters and 1200 meters above sea level.

The terraced fields coiled from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, with the maximum height difference of more than 860m and the maximum elevation of 1 100, forming a magnificent landscape shrouded in clouds on the thousand-story ladder. Looking from a height, the terraced fields are magnificent and the lines are chic and beautiful. Whenever irrigation is carried out in spring, terraces are like mirrors, reflecting beautiful terraces. In autumn, the rice is ripe, and golden rice is everywhere, covering the terraced fields with a golden coat.

For a long time, people living here have planted crops in spring and harvested crops in autumn, and worked hard to build a terraced farming civilization handed down from generation to generation, which is known as the living fossil of ancient farming civilization in China.
