Q: Rose Asked on 2013-03-14 Reply
I''m planning to visit Guilin in Nov 2013 around 7th nov till 12th nov. I know the weather is cold becoz it''s near the winter season, isn''t it? For your opinion, can I still visit Guilin during this time? How about the scenery at most of the places for example, Li River, Peach Blossom River, Longji, Feed Flute Cave & etc, are they still beautiful as it is in Spring or Summer time? From what I know, during autumn & winter time, the leaves and flowers will fall. So does it will affect the scenery of those attractive places? Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Rose, Guilin is suitable for visiting all the year around. In Nov., it is cool, with average low and high temperature of 17 °C (62 °F) and 20 °C (68 °F). Some of the leaves start falling, most leaves turn yellow or red, which is very beautiful. There is a special scenery for the  Li River, Peach Blossom River, Longji, Feed Flute Cave & etc, not like the ones in Spring or Summer, but not any  inferior.

Dear Wendy,

Thank you for visiting our website and your interests in our service, my name is Cecilia; I am a trip advisor at China Highlights.

You mentioned that you will visit Guilin from 15th Oct-23rd Oct for 9 days; do you have any plans in Guilin? Generally speaking, you could visit all the highlights of Guilin area within 5 days, so if you do not have any other things to do, you are highly recommended to take a tour package including Guilin and other cities. I can and I am very glad to arrange it for you.

Here I recommend 2 options for your reference:

http://www.chinahighlights.com/tour/cht-sc-05/ 9 days Amazing Southwest China Natural Scenery Tour

http://www.chinahighlights.com/tour/cht-114/ 9 days Shanghai, Beijing and Li River Cruise Combo

For weather, It gets cooler and windy in October Guilin; you may need a thick coat in case it becomes cool. The average high and low temperature is respectively at 26 °C (79 °F) and 22 °C (71 °F).

For the hotel, would you please let me know the class you prefer, tourist/deluxe/superior?

Please feel free to contact at Cecilia@chinahighlights.net for any questions about your tour.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Cecilia
