Guilin Outdoor Adventure

Your guide and driver will pick you up from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (KWL). It takes about 40 minutes’ drive to a centrally located hotel in town.

We will drive you to Dazhai Village in Longsheng for about 2 hours. From the parking lot to Tiantou Village, it takes about 40 minutes hiking on the paved stone path. The magnificent Rice Terraces unfold around you like an abstract work of art upon reaching the top. The old wooden houses are the first thing you will notice, with their unique structures steeped in history and folk stories.

Continue your hike all the way to Ping’an Village for another 5 hours. The stunning scenery at various altitudes is your reward along the trails. This village is built on the back side of the mountain, where a stream flows through. Stay in the old wooden houses, you will hear bubbling streams and songbirds.

Hiking is no less than cruising to admire the Li River. We select the highlights of the route along the river, starting from Xianggong Hill which is around 1.5 hours away from Guilin by car. It is optional to climb Xianggong Hill if you are physically fit enough. On top of the hill, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the river bend surrounded by Karst Mountains. The longer route along the river bank will take about 4 hours to get to Xingping Ancient Town on foot; en-route you will see the Nine Horses Painted Hill and Yellow Cloth Shoal (image on the back of the 20 RMB Chinese note). A shorter route is available for about 2 hours, which is to walk along paddy fields and fruit gardens. It is flexible to choose the longer or shorter one according to your physical strength. A simple lunch will be served in Xingping, followed by a leisurely walk in the old town.

Drive to Yangshuo, where you can start a biking tour in the countryside. Riding along the paths through the local villages, you will get to experience the feeling of the natural surroundings and explore the countryside at a leisurely pace. The biking tour can be 2 to 4 hours long based on your physical condition.

You can enjoy your free time exploring the busy West Street. Buy some lovely gifts to take home, enjoy a cup of coffee, or have some fun time in a disco bar. You can also watch an evening show here. ‘Impression Liusanjie’ live show and the show in ‘Romance Park’ are both recommended.
