What is a golf car rice paddies tour
In 1998, after the new parking place outside the town was completed, passengers needed to walk 40 minutes to find their tour coach after the Li River Cruise, the local people found the new way to offer transfer service by rickshaws from the dock to the parking lot. Sometimes it was dangerous when the people rode quite fast in a sharp turn.
A kind of Golf Car was introduced to Yangshuo, in Chinese it is called 'DianPingChe', means 'Electric Power Engine Car'. The local government started to use these Golf Car to open the bus service lines in the town and its surrounding areas. This was the first time Yangshuo has its local bus system.
Some local travel agents, like Sinoway Travel, offer Golf Car Rice Paddie Tour daily, with a local tour guide speaking English, knows where to stop for a breathtaking picture, explains local plants in the countryside, tells local stories and customs, a good alternative choice to try. These type of tour guides are raised in this areas, know every small trail, greet to everyone you meet on the road.

2 hours Rice Paddies Tour in Yangshuo
Rice paddie surrouned by peaks
The landscape and the rice paddise are astoundingly beautiful. The rice paddies are also the result of backbreaking labour by generations, the lifeline of their current tenants. Be nice to local people who is working in the fields.
You might peer down into the the paddies, the water is clear and the mud lookes fine grained and smooth, marked only by occasional footprints. Small fish – or maybe tadpoles – darted frantically away from you, stirring up clouds of silt in the water.
In late June or early July, you can see people working in the fields, bare feet sunk deep in the mud, backs bent, replanting each seedlings by hand. Kids wave at me and call hello.
