Itinerary Quick Look

We’re happy to tailor this private tour of Guilin to match your interests. Please note that the time frame is for reference only and may vary due to traffic conditions on the day of your tour.

Your tour guide will meet you in the hotel lobby as long as the hotel is located in downtown Guilin. If your hotel is outside this area, or if you need to be picked up at the train station or airport, the guide can still meet you up, but an additional charge will apply.

Day 1: Longji Terraced Rice Fields

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 2 hours.

Arriving at the famous terraced rice fields, you can either walk up or take an electric buggy to get to the top.

Enjoy lunch with a Yao family who invite you into their home. You will return to Guilin by the evening.

Day 2: Li River Cruise-Yangshuo

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.

Day 3: Elephant Trunk Hill-Reed Flute Cave

Today we’ll visit the symbol of Guilin, Elephant Trunk Hill. Take signature pictures, listen to the legend of how an elephant turned into a hill there, and find out the secrets hiding in the belly of this "elephant".

After lunch, spend a literally cool afternoon in the Reed Flute Cave. It's a pleasant temperature year-round and fun to see the amazing array of limestone formations highlighted in neon lights.

At the end of the day, your private guide and driver will transfer you to your hotel.
