3 days in Guilin/Yangshuo
Spent 3 days in Guilin and Yangshao with Chase as our guide. Highly recommend this location specifically Yangshuo. Sightseeing in the country side is highly recommended as well. Chase was great and made sure we are comfortable throughout the trip, helping with an upgrade in Yangshuo and making our trip memorable. more

China Highlights - Yangshuo and the best tour guide Lele!
We utilized China Highlights during the first three legs of our vacation.Lele was our second guide and he greeted us upon arrival in Guilin. His enthusiasm and happy go lucky attitude was clear right away. He gave us a short introduction to our itinerary during our drive to the hotel, as well as some history about Guilin and Yangshuo county, that we would be staying in for the next few days.Lele was knowledgeable and FUN to be with. He had answers to our questions and brought us to some of the best view points Yangshuo had to offer. All though we didn't have bamboo rafting included in our itinerary, we quickly realized that we wanted to do this after all. Lele didn't hesitate to facilitate this into our already planned schedule and got us reservations for the following day. more

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
With buildings surrounded by mountains and rivers, Guilin might strike you as a small laid-back town yet its charm calls out to you to explore it. Upon arrival in Guilin, you will have a lot of free time to discover the city on your own.
After breakfast, start exploring Longsheng. Usually, it takes 3 to 4 hours to get there on the mountain road. You will travel on the highway instead, to shorten the journey to 2 hours.
Arriving at the famous terraced rice fields, you can either walk up or take an electric buggy to get to the top.
Enjoy lunch with a Yao family who invite you into their home. You will return to Guilin by the evening.
Listed as one of the world's 15 best rivers for travelers by CNN, the Li River presents itself differently in each season and there are different ways you can appreciate it.
You will enjoy the most classic way: a cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo. To maximize your experience, we will arrange a 4-star cruise for you, which is the highest level. It offers better facilities and a buffet lunch.
To experience the daily life of the local farmers on your last day in Guilin will let you see another side of China.
Drive through the villages where there is almost no other tourist. You might meet someone on his way to the field with a water buffalo or someone working in the paddy.
Take a ferry and a local farmer's taxi to the market in a small town on the other bank of the Li River, see the real lifestyles of the people living in this rural area of China.
We will see you off smoothly with an airport transfer in the afternoon.
