China/Guilin/Longji terraced rice fields

I'm a photographer researching travel to China very soon to photograph images of Longji, the flooded rice terraces in the area of Guilin. I am finding conflicting information about when the water is in the fields. Do you have any information about this or do you know of someone that I could ask? We specifically wish to take these images and cannot afford to miscalculate the dates. My dilemma also involves the Chinese labor day holiday April 26-May4th, 2013 and the looming hot weather.

Have you tried asking the Chinese tourist agency? For something as critical as that wouldn't the horse's mouth be best?

Thank you Nigel. Good point, guess I was trying to make this too difficult. I will pursue with China tourist bureau. I appreciate your response.
