Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
With buildings surrounded by mountains and rivers, Guilin might strike you as a small laid-back town yet its charm calls out to you to explore it. Upon arrival in Guilin, you will have a lot of free time to discover the city on your own.
After breakfast, start exploring Longsheng. Usually, it takes 3 to 4 hours to get there on the mountain road. You will travel on the highway instead, to shorten the journey to 2 hours.
Arriving at the famous terraced rice fields, you can either walk up or take an electric buggy to get to the top.
Enjoy lunch with a Yao family who invite you into their home. You will return to Guilin by the evening.
Listed as one of the world's 15 best rivers for travelers by CNN, the Li River presents itself differently in each season and there are different ways you can appreciate it.
You will enjoy the most classic way: a cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo. To maximize your experience, we will arrange a 4-star cruise for you, which is the highest level. It offers better facilities and a buffet lunch.
To experience the daily life of the local farmers on your last day in Guilin will let you see another side of China.
