Tour of of Guilin

Guilin is a city in southern China known for its dramatic landscape of limestone karst hills. At its center are 2 lakes, Shanhu (Cedar) and Ronghu (Banyan), remaining from a medieval-era moat that once surrounded the city. Boats travel through these and other lakes via connected rivers. On Shanhu Lake’s shore, twin pagodas, the Sun and Moon, light up the sky at night.

Day 1 Guilin Arrival, Boat trip to Two Rivers & Four Lakes

Welcome to Guilin! As one of China's well-known tourist scenic cities, Guilin is also a historic and cultural city with a history of over 2,000 years.

Day 2 Excursion to Longji Rice Terraces & Minority Villages

An excursion to the rice terraces of Longji awaits you after breakfast. Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am. These terraces were first built during the Yuan Dynasty (1271AD to 1368AD) and their construction continued until the early Qing Dynasty (1644AD to 1911AD).

The terraces change their appearance according to the season. In spring, when the water is irrigated into the fields, the terraces look like ribbons stretching along the hillside. During summer, it looks like waves of green are rushing down the hills from above. Autumn, the season of harvest, is when the hills look golden brown. And in winter, when it snows, the hills are decked in white.

As well as its amazing scenery, Longji is a great destination to experience the culture of China’s ethnic minorities. It is home to Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups.

Return back to your hotel in Guilin in the late afternoon after the excursion is over.

Day 3 From Guilin cruise Li River down to Yangshuo

Your driver will pick you up from the hotel and drive you to a Li River pier after breakfast. The journey takes about 60 minutes. Board a 4-star cruise boat on reaching the pier and sail down the meandering Li River. The journey from Guilin dock to Yangshuo via Yangdi, Jiu Ma and Xingping takes around 4 hours.

Li River looks like a jade-green belt winding its way among countless mountains. The sides of the river unwind like a paper scroll, unraveling beautiful scenery as the boat drifts down the river. No wonder people call the river a colorful gallery.

No matter how bad or good the weather is, travelers are always in for a surprise during their journey down the river. While a sunny day can mean clear water with countless fishes swimming leisurely beneath you, clouds and mist play hide-and-seek around hills and mountains on a cloudy day.

You'll be transferred to your hotel and check in after the boat arrives at Yangshuo pier.

This evening is free time for you, there is a spectacular outdoor cultural show staged by Zhang Yimou, director of the Beijing Olympic's opening ceremony, is a definite highlight and highly recommended (optional).
