Daxu Ancient Town: Wander through stone-paved alleys of this 1,000-year-old riverside town. Admire wooden houses with intricate carvings and explore a mix of Lingnan and traditional Guangxi architecture. A perfect place to snap vintage-style photos and soak in old-world charm.

Dongli Ancient Village & Intangible Heritage Workshop: Step into a hidden gem where time seems to slow down. Dongli Ancient Village is a tranquil retreat filled with centuries-old houses and a peaceful atmosphere, making it the perfect place to discover the cultural soul of Guilin. Here, you’ll have the freedom to try hands-on heritage crafts under the guidance of skilled artisans. Create your own paper-fan with doorframe prints, weave a bamboo wind chime, decorate a handkerchief with traditional stamping, or paint a clay pot. Taste the local flavors by making fubing (lucky pastries), pulling tofu skin, or enjoying a sweet bowl of freshly made tofu pudding. For a truly nostalgic touch, hop on a traditional ox cart and experience the village as locals once did. At midday, sit down to a farmhouse-style lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients. Simple, hearty, and full of flavor, each dish tells the story of Guilin’s countryside traditions through taste.

Dashiwan Scenic Spot: Head to a hilltop viewpoint known as 'Guilin's Riverside Scroll.' Overlook lush hills and winding rivers that stretch like ink-wash paintings. It's a quiet and less-touristy spot, ideal for nature lovers and photographers.

Huangbu Reflection & 20 Yuan Banknote View: End the day at one of Guilin’s most iconic views—the real-life scene from China’s 20 yuan note. Watch karst peaks mirrored in the Li River and take that must-have photo.
