Hi, Ms Alsher, May is a nice time to see the terraces and better to come in early May. Dragon's Backbone is just a general name for the terraces there. In fact, there are many villages there. The three entrance to enter the terraces is Dazhai Village which is endowed with the best view; Longji Village and Ping'an Vilalge. Ping'an and Longji are villages for the Zhuang Minority and Dazhai is a Yao Minority village. Guilin Bus Station has bus to Longsheng, nearly two hours. Then you can take bus shifting to Ping'an or Dazhai. Hiking between Ping'an and Dazhai would take 4 hours. Longji is about 40-50 minutes' hiking from Ping'an. Of course, you can travel by hiring a van in stead of walking.
