Highly recommend Lele from Guilin China highlights
Guilin is absolutely breathtaking! The incredible views along the li river make those fantastical Chinese landscape paintings come to life. Walked around the rice terraces and rode a bike along the dragon river were unforgettable highlights. Our trip was made even better thanks to our guide, Lele from China highlights , who ensured everything went smoothly. Lele was helpful, professional, and provided just the right amount of insight about the area’s history and culture. more

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

Suggested Itinerary
Take a high-speed train from Guangzhou South Station and arrive at Guilin North Station, where your guide will meet you. After half an hour's drive to downtown Guilin, start your half-day tour with Reed Flute Cave to see awesome stalactites and stalagmites. Then visit the city landmark of Guilin - Elephant trunk hill park.
After half an hour's drive to Mopanshan Wharf, your guide will show you the wonders of the Li River on your four-hour Li River Cruise, a "must" for a Guilin tour. You can choose to stay on deck to breath the fresh air or take seat inside. The boat navigating down the river is just like watching a Chinese landscape scroll painting unroll.
The boat arrives at Yangshuo at about 13:30. Enjoy free time in Yangshuo, then we will drive you back to Guilin.
You will be driven about two hours to Longsheng. Then climb around 40 minutes to the viewpoints around Ping'an village to see the magnificent terraced fields from different angles. Get closer to local life to learn how they earn a living, and how they work in the fields with water buffalos. Stay at a Ping'an hotel in the middle of the rice terraces.
In the morning you will head to Sanjiang, where Dong minority people live. After about 2½ hours you will be amongst the wooden buildings of the Dong. Wander through the villages and meet friendly people. Built in 1916, Chengyang 'Wind and Rain' Bridge is the best one among the several 'wind and rain' bridges in nearby Dong stockaded villages. It is the largest 'wind and rain' bridge in the world.
In the late afternoon, you will be driven about 40 minutes from Chengyang to Sanjiang town. Stay at the best available hotel overnight.
Continue by bullet train to Guiyang. After two hours, you will arrive at Guizhou Province's capital city, Guiyang. Its temperature is very comfortable even in summer. Visit Qianling Park to relax in the afternoon.
Journey north about two hours to see the Huangguoshu Waterfalls. It is one of the largest waterfall groups in China. There are 18 falls above ground and four underground falls.
Tianxing Qiao Scenic Area features the perfect combination of stones, trees, and water. Tianxing Bridge Scenic Zone is like a natural miniascape (dish garden) that you can walk through. After the day trip, return to Guiyang.
Savor the sweet memories of your journey. Your guide and driver will see you off at Guiyang North Railway Station.
