Description
Cycle through the countryside, visit a rural culture museum, and enjoy a cooking class on this tour from Guilin. Savor local rice noodles and learn about the region's food culture.
Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel and head to a local market. Taste Guilin rice noodles and optional street food while learning about the local food culture.
Next, arrive at Zheli Village Intangible Cultural Heritage Workshop and visit a rural culture museum. Tour the workshop and try your hand at creating a 600-year-old pomelo jar craft, a Guilin municipal gift to international guests.
Cycle through the countryside, visit "new villagers," and enjoy lunch at a private kitchen restaurant run by a returned urbanite. Continue cycling to a hidden gem—Guilin’s most scenic peak cluster, rarely visited by tourists.
Cycle along the Li River and visit an art studio converted from a abandoned pigsty by a retired master craftsman. If you're visiting on a weekend, volunteer for art classes with village children.
Relax at a café run by young urban artists and listen to their stories. Then, embark on a rural adventure: buy free-range chicken, fish with traditional bamboo traps, and pick fresh veggies.
Return to Zheli Workshop for a cooking class, where you'll learn to prepare 2 main dishes and 1 seasonal dessert. End your day with a dinner featuring the self-cooked meals.
