Hi Fizah, the weather is mild, with heavy humidity and occasional drizzles and sunny days. The average temperature is 12°C-18°C. A coat and a light sweater are enough to cope with the weather, but thin sweaters and long-sleeve T-shirts are suggested when it becomes warmer during the day.
Topic From: Li River
Hi , We are a group of 4 adults, 2 kids(5-6 years) and an infant. We are looking to book a Li river cruise on Feb 9th from Guiln to Yangshuo.Can you advise the timings, duration and rate.
Hi Prachi,
The cost for the cruise ticket is USD324 for the group. The cruise lasts for 4 hours.
The cruise time is from 9:30AM to 1:30PM or 10AM to 2PM based on the availability.
we can only get the ticket 1 day in advance before Feb.9th. So you will need to come to our office just besides the Elephant Trunk Hill in downtown area in Guilin to get the cruise ticket.
If you need a transfer or a guide's accompany, please let us know as soon as possible. The Chinese new year holiday is from Feb.9 to Feb14. It is very hard to find a tour guide unless you arrange it now.
Thanks for your understanding.

Topic From: Photography Tips and Locations in Guilin
Hi Lynn,Iam flying to Hong Kong and then onto Japan in early March. I have approx 10 days left after Japan and would love to visit Guilin. I''m just a bit unsure what the weather will be like then regarding rain, low cloud etc as i would be visiting for photography purposes.Also how many days would you recommend in Guilin and surrounding areas ! Also as i will be flying from Japan is it best to go via Kuala Lumpur and fly with Air Asia direct to Guilin? Thankyou.Kind Regards,Rick
Dear Rick,
Thanks for your tour enquiry!
There are several places in Guilin to take great pictures, Li River, Yangshuo (countryside views), and Longsheng (rice terraced fields), usually a 6-day tour would cover these places. March is not the best time to visit Guilin I am afraid, the lowest temperature is 8 degrees and the highest 14 degrees, we may have slight rains in early spring, that would make Li River's mountains look like a real Chinese painting. Airasia offers good deals from KL to Guilin, you can consider taking their flights.
If you are looking for warmer weathers, Yunnan may offer better photo opportunities. Airasia offers direct flights from KL to Kunming too. Let me know what ytou think and I will be more than happy to propose itineraries to work for you best. I look forward to hearing from you again!

Topic From: Li River
What cruises are operating at end of January? What is the cost of the hiking tour? and, are the rafts still operating?Brett
Hi Brett,sorry for being late.
Yes, we can help book it. But it is near the China's Spring Festival, so the ticket is not easy to obtain. We will try all of our effort. We are based in Guilin. Welcome to our office!
Add: 11 Binjiang Road Guilin 541002 China桂林市滨江路11号(541002)
It is about 15mins walking from JingGuanMingLou Museum Hotel to our office.
Hello Whitney,
I was also wondering if I can book some train tickets, and 2 air tickets, at your office while I am in Guilin? Could you tell me where your office is? I will be staying at the Guilin JingGuanMingLou Museum Hotel, is it anywhere near there?
Cheers
Brett
Hi Whitney,
Thanks for that. I will be there from 25th - 29th this month, on my own. Want to do some hiking, maybe some biking at the end of the river cruise, do the Hua River walk as described by Gavin. Do you have an office in Guilin? I have booked accommodation, will meander down by rail from Pingdingshan, and would like to call in early on the 25th, or late on the 24th, to see what I can do with my time :)
Cheers
Brett
Hi Brett, the Li River Cruise is operating everyday. Do you want to hike from Yangdi to Xingping? Or somewhere else? The rafts are also operating. Please rest assured.
