Villagers are known for their warm hospitality, often cheering on runners as they make their way through the scenic trails. The event is more than just a run; it’s a celebration that includes the Longji Carnival, featuring traditional Zhuang and Yao performances, storytelling sessions, and cultural exhibitions. With its blend of mountain adventure, cultural immersion, and stunning scenery, the Longji Terraces Trail Running Race provides an unforgettable "sport and travel" experience.
