Amazing Guilin
![]() Our trip to Guilin with China Highlights was awesome. We did a boat trip on the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo as well as staying in Yangshuo and Xingping. The scenery was absolutely fantastic! There were limestone pillars everywhere and the people were so friendly. Our guide, William took us to all the best spots and gave us excellent historical and cultural information. He was always attentive and engaging with us. We sampled lots of delicious food as well as being introduced to local people - we even got some cooking lessons. Our hotels - Moondance (Yangshuo) and XingPing Island resort were friendly and welcoming family-style boutique hotels. Everything was so well organised we never had to worry about anything. (Thanks also to our CHL consultant, Chandler, who converted our original wish-list into an amazing itinerary). more

Guilin was amazing!
![]() We had a wonderful time with our guide William in Guilin. He was very knowledgeable, funny, and took great care of our large family group - including my 90 year old grandfather! We made so many great memories and were so sad to say goodbye to William when we left. I loved walking through old town and the river cruise to Yangshao. The sugar factory hotel was spectacular- if you come in the warm weather, don’t forget a bathing suit. Thank you China Highlights! more

Una experiencia inolvidable en Guilin con nuestro guía Alonso
![]() Tuvimos la suerte de visitar Guilin y contar con Alonso como nuestro guía, y no podríamos haber pedido una mejor experiencia. Desde el primer día, nos llevó a los lugares más impresionantes de la región y nos recomendó qué probar para disfrutar verdaderamente de la comida local. Pero lo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue su atención y calidez. Cuando se dio cuenta de que mi cumplea?os estaba cerca, me preguntó cómo quería celebrarlo y luego sugirió algo especial: ir temprano a un mirador que no estaba originalmente en el tour. Además, él mismo se encargó de comprar un pastel y vino para la ocasión, asegurándose de que fuera un momento especial. Fue un detalle que realmente apreciamos y que hizo que la experiencia fuera aún más memorable. Otra parte inolvidable del viaje fue el tour en moto por Yangshuo. Recorrer esos paisajes impresionantes de una manera tan auténtica y libre hizo que fuera una experiencia única. Agradecemos muchísimo a Alonso por hacer de este viaje algo tan especial. Su dedicación y pasión por lo que hace realmente se notan, y sin duda recomendaríamos esta experiencia a cualquiera que visite la región. ?Totalmente recomendado! more

Suggested Itinerary
Your private guide will pick up you from your hotels in Yangshuo, and transfer you to Yangshou's Yulong River. Yulong River and the Li River are the most famous and beautiful rivers with numerous karst hills in Yangshuo. You will bike along one of the best sections of Yulong River (From Jima to Yangshuo). Usually, it will take around 2-2.5 hours to cycle depending on your physical conditions and cycling skills. During the biking, you will visit a local family to know more about China.
In the afternoon, get ready to learn how to cook Chinese cuisine, have an opportunity to learn three dishes and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Stay in a 3-star hotel on West Street, and enjoy the vivid night of foreign street.
Good to know: West Street in Yangshuo is also called the Foreign Street because a lot of foreigners come there. It's famous for its bars and vivid nightlife in the evening.
This is a full day of in-depth bicycle tour. Experience the hustle & bustle of the Yangshuo traffic for a few minutes before you escape onto the country roads, lanes and tracks of the distinctive and beautiful Yangshuo countryside. You will visit two villages; the first is Aishan, and the second is Puyi. Both have a simple and unsophisticated culture as well as beautiful natural scenery. It is an opportunity to see real country life and talk to the local farmers. Later, cycle back to your hotel in Yangshuo.
