China: Longji (Dragon's Backbone) Terraced Rice Fields, Longsheng Rice Terraces, Longsheng County, Guangxi Province

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.
