Karst Peaks, Li River Serenity & Idyllic Rice Terraces — China Most Iconic Landscape
Explore Guilin
Guilin scenery is the best under heaven — a Chinese saying that has been true for a thousand years. The surreal karst landscape, immortalized in classical scroll paintings and on the 20 RMB note, is one of the world unique geological wonders.
Our Guilin tours take you beyond the postcard views. Private Li River bamboo rafts away from the tourist boats, sunrise at Xianggong Mountain with your photographer-guide, village-to-village cycling through Yangshuo, and overnight stays in the Longji Rice Terraces. Active, relaxed, or cultural — every moment crafted around your pace.
Top Experiences
Li River Cruise
Drift through a Chinese scroll painting — 83km of mist-shrouded karst peaks, bamboo groves, and water buffalo along the banks from Guilin to Yangshuo. The scenery on the 20 RMB note.
Yangshuo Countryside
Cycle or bamboo raft through rice paddies and ancient villages beneath towering limestone pinnacles — the most beautiful rural landscape in China.
Longji Rice Terraces
The Dragon Backbone terraces cascade down mountainsides — 650 years of Zhuang and Yao minority farming heritage. Stunning in any season, magical during planting and harvest.
Reed Flute Cave
A subterranean wonderland of illuminated stalactites and stalagmites — nicknamed Nature Palace of Art — with formations named Crystal Palace, Dragon Pagoda, and Virgin Forest.
Elephant Trunk Hill
Guilin iconic landmark — a limestone arch resembling an elephant drinking from the Li River. Best photographed at sunrise or illuminated at night.
Xianggong Mountain
A 30-minute hike to the most spectacular panoramic viewpoint in Guilin — a sea of karst peaks stretching to the horizon at sunrise. Every photographer dream.
Best Time to Visit
April-October is best. April-June for lush green rice paddies and misty peaks. September-October for golden rice terraces and clear skies. November-March is quieter and cheaper but cooler.
