The Scenic Soul of Guilin

Arrive at Guilin Liangjiang International Airport and transfer to your hotel. If time permits, explore Fubo Hill, where you can wander among ancient carvings and a Tang Dynasty stone Buddha before climbing for panoramic views over the Li River. Alternatively, visit Elephant Trunk Hill, Guilin’s iconic natural landmark. In the evening, unwind around Banyan Lake or browse the nearby night market, soaking in the relaxed atmosphere of this scenic riverside city.

Travel approximately 1.5 hours to Yangdi Pier and board a motorised bamboo raft for a scenic journey along the Li River, passing dramatic limestone peaks, rice fields, and traditional villages. Stop along the way to explore rural life before continuing with a short buggy ride to Xingping, an ancient fishing town. Wander its old streets, then continue to Yangshuo with a stop in Fuli, known for its painted paper fans. In the evening, optionally attend the “Impressions Sanjie Liu” performance set against the natural karst landscape.

Begin the day with a guided bike ride through Yangshuo’s countryside, passing authentic villages, rice fields, and water buffalo grazing against a backdrop of karst mountains. Continue to the tranquil Yulong River, where bamboo rafts drift quietly through the landscape without motorised traffic. After the ride, take a cable car up Ruyifeng to enjoy sweeping views over the surrounding valleys and peaks.

Enjoy a relaxed morning at leisure before transferring to Guilin Liangjiang International Airport for your departure flight, concluding your journey through one of China’s most scenic regions.
