Welcome to Guilin!
With buildings surrounded by mountains and rivers, Guilin might strike you as a small laid-back town yet its charm calls out to you to explore it.
Upon arrival in Guilin, you will have a lot of free time to discover the city on your own.
Tips to tailor-make your tour:
As most flights from big cities, such as Beijing, Xi'an, and Shanghai, land during the afternoon, the rest of the day is left free for you to spend at your leisure.
Reed Flute Cave, Li River Stone Drawing, and walking along Binjiang Road are good ways to spend your time if you'd rather go out and explore.
Meals provided: breakfast and lunch
After breakfast, start exploring Longsheng. Usually, it takes 3 to 4 hours to get there on the mountain road. You will travel on the highway instead, to shorten the journey to 2½ hours.
Arriving at the famous terraced rice fields, you can either walk up or take an electric buggy to get to the top.
The Longji Rice Terraces are known widely for the awe-inspiring view, particularly when they turn golden during autumn.
With autumn undoubtedly being the best time to get perfect photos, the other seasons also boast unique beauty, too. Standing on top of such a huge man-made wonder is itself an extraordinary experience.
When you get back down, you will enjoy lunch with a Yao family who invite you into their home. First, you will learn how to stuff and cook rice inside a bamboo tube.
Then you will sip the freshly-extracted oil tea that keeps the farmers warm in harsh winters. You will return to Guilin by the evening.

Listed as one of the world's 15 best rivers for travelers by CNN, the Li River presents itself differently in each season and there are different ways you can appreciate it.
You will enjoy the most classic way: a cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo. To maximize your experience, we will arrange a 4-star cruise for you, which is the highest level. It offers better facilities and a buffet lunch.
The entire journey starts with a smooth transfer from your hotel to the pier. Staggering limestone formations are scattered along the riverbanks and the scenery changes from a cityscape to rural tranquility as you approach Yangshuo.
Your guide will show you around the center of Yangshuo town if you would like to buy some souvenirs after disembarking. And then, your guide will escort you to your hotel in the countryside.
Enjoy the free time in the afternoon. It is nice and easy to have a walk or ride a bike (offered by hotel) to enjoy the peaceful villages and idyllic scenery around your hotel.
Yangshuo's countryside is one of the handfuls of places left that reminds you of nature's quietness and pureness.
Enjoy a relaxing night in Yangshuo.
Tips to tailor-make your tour:
Yangshuo offers a relaxing atmosphere and various activities: a cooking class, a tai chi lesson, a farming experience, and even rock climbing.

Unlike most Western countries, agriculture in China depends greatly on manual work rather than machinery and some traditional farming methods have been passed down for generations. To experience the daily life of the local farmers on your last day in Guilin will let you see another side of China.
Drive through the villages where there is almost no other tourist. You might meet someone on his way to the field with a water buffalo or someone working in the paddy. They will be happy if you say hello to them and are interested in their work.
Continue to drive pass the rice paddies after saying goodbye to the villagers. And then take a ferry and a local farmer's taxi to the market in a small town on the other bank of the Li River.
Your guide will show you around to explain the different types of food and show you the local people's daily necessities. In this comprehensive market, you will see the real lifestyles of the people living in this rural area of China.
Nothing could be more meaningful than getting a glimpse of people's lives from a totally different culture while yours is also being shared. With great memories, you will leave Guilin in the afternoon.
