Your 3-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & First Impressions
Your private driver meets you at Guilin Airport (KWL). After settling into your hotel, head straight to the Reed Flute Cave to wander through its illuminated limestone wonderland. Next, stretch your legs with a walk along the river for the classic view of Elephant Trunk Hill. The evening is yours to discover the city.
Day 2: The Li River & Yangshuo's Charm
Today delivers the iconic Guilin experience: a 4‑hour scenic cruise down the Li River. Relax as fairy‑tale karst peaks and rural scenes drift by (a simple lunch is provided on board).
Disembark in Yangshuo and swap the boat for a bike. Pedal along the peaceful Yulong River, through rice paddies and past water buffalo. We’ll arrange a visit to a local farming family to see daily life up close. The evening is free to explore bustling West Street.
Day 3: The Summit View & Departure
For your final panorama, we take a morning hike up Xianggong Hill. The 40‑60 minute climb rewards you with a breathtaking, bird’s‑eye view of the Li River winding through the mountains—a favorite spot for photographers. After descending, your driver will take you directly to the airport or train station for your onward journey.
