From Guilin: Reed Flute Cave, Xianggong Mountain & Show Tour

Discover the beauty of Guilin on a day tour from the city. Explore the Reed Flute Cave, climb Xianggong Mountain, enjoy a Yulong River rafting experience, and watch the Impression of Sanjie Liu show.
Begin your journey to Reed Flute Cave, one of Guilin’s most famous natural landmarks. Known as “The Palace of Natural Art,” this cave is renowned for its magnificent limestone formations and colorful lighting that create the illusion of walking through a dreamlike underground palace. Spend about 45 minutes exploring enchanting stalactites, stalagmites, and pillars accompanied by stories from local guides.

Next, continue your scenic drive to Xianggong Mountain in Yangshuo County. Take a short 15–20 minute climb to a classic overlook of the Li River, with emerald karst peaks, winding waters, villages, and fields merging into a breathtaking panorama that is especially magical when morning mist lingers among the hills.

Following this visual feast, head toward the serene Yulong River, often called the “Little Li River,” for a tranquil bamboo rafting experience. Drift gently along crystal-clear water bordered by bamboo groves, old stone bridges, and peaceful farmlands for about an hour while listening to boatmen hum traditional folk tunes that echo softly across the valley.

In the afternoon, you will arrive in downtown Yangshuo and wander along lively West Street , the town’s most historic and vibrant pedestrian street, where traditional façades, boutique shops, and bars line the cobblestone lane and create a unique blend of Chinese charm and international flair; here, a classic afternoon tea is included, and you can sit down in a carefully selected café overlooking the street, savoring coffee, tea, and delicate desserts while watching street life unfold, listening to snatches of music and different languages, and fully soaking up Yangshuo’s relaxed holiday atmosphere before heading to the evening show.

As evening approaches, take your seat for the spectacular Impression Liu Sanjie show, an open-air performance created by renowned director Zhang Yimou and staged directly on the Li River with the surrounding mountains as a natural backdrop. Watch as hundreds of local performers in traditional Zhuang and Yao costumes present legendary songs, dances, and light displays that integrate human artistry with the grandeur of nature.
