Highlights

Arrival in Guilin

Guilin - Welcome to Guilin! Your private guide will meet you at the airport/train station arrivals hall and transfer you to your hotel in a private car.

Tailor-Made Idea:

The night scenery in Guilin is beautiful and it makes a great way to unwind after a flight. The ‘Two Rivers and Four Lakes’ in the downtown area provide pleasant lakeside walks and night cruises.

Daxu Old Town and Guilin Highlights

Guilin - Daxu is an old town along the Li River and used to be the busiest bazaar in Guangxi. Popularity comes and goes, however, but the older generation still living there bears ongoing witness to the history of the old town. Today, discover the forgotten stories of Daxu.

After lunch, start sight-seeing in the city from Guilin’s landmark, Elephant Trunk Hill. The name comes from the hill’s shape. Seen from afar, it looks like an elephant drinking from the Li River.

Admire the natural art in Reed Flute Cave, a famous and massive limestone cave, with multicolored lighting, which casts intriguing shadows on the water.

Li River Cruise and the Idyllic Yangshuo

Guilin - Feast your eyes on picturesque views either side of the Li River, as you enjoy the highest-standard cruise, to ensure your comfort. Your guide will show you the best spots for taking photos.

The cruise arrives in Yangshuo at noon and you will be welcomed by the sight of the most beautiful countryside in China.

Pick the transport of your choice, whether private car, bicycle, or moped, to embrace and enjoy these natural surroundings.

Bamboo Rafting and High-Speed Train to Zhaoxing

Zhaoxing, Guizhou - After a good night’s sleep, start your day with a bamboo-rafting tour. One great way of enjoying the rural view and tranquility is to sit back on a non-motorized raft that’s steered along the Yulong River by a gondolier.

Your private guide and driver will transfer you to Yangshuo Railway Station. Take a rest on the easy journey of 1.5 hours. Your Guizhou guide will pick you up at Congjiang Railway Station and help you check in to your hotel.

Rice-Terrace Hiking and Dong Village

Zhaoxing, Guizhou - The rice terraces in Guizhou are impressive for their altitude and wildness. Today you will hike round some of them.

The hike will be a 2.5-hour walk on solid flagstone, combined with morning rice-terrace viewing. You’ll walk down from the top of the mountainside on paths through refreshing paddy fields. You will be guided through small yet unspoiled villages.

Freshen up and have lunch at our chosen restaurant, then have a free afternoon at Zhaoxing, one of the biggest Dong villages in China.
