Arrive into Yangshuo the day before your tour is scheduled to begin as the tour is focused on the Yangshuo area for the first two days. We can also accommodate pick-up from your Guilin Hotel, depending upon your preferences.

Day 1 - Stay overnight in Yangshuo

Meet your tour guide and professional driver at your Yangshuo Hotel lobby, where you will commence the tour with a transfer to Xianggong Hill. Upon arriving at the base of the mountain, you will be required to walk up to the peak of the mountain (approximately 15 minutes) but be well rewarded with spectacular birds-eye views overlooking the Li River and surrounding karst scenery.
Picture
Following the Xianggong Hill visit, you'll be transferred to the Yulong Valley where you will cycle around the bicycle/walking paths and enjoy the incredible surrounding scenery.  At the end of the cycling experience, board your own private raft and flow down the Yulong River whilst a paddler on the back of the raft slowly pushes you along the river on the bamboo raft.

In the evening, enjoy a stroll along West Street with some dinner (not included in pricing) before watching the famous Impression 3rd Sister Liu Show which is held on the banks of the Li River during the evening. At the show's conclusion, you'll be transferred to your Yangshuo hotel for the rest of the evening at leisure.
Picture

Day 2- Stay overnight in Guilin
​Meet your tour guide in the morning and travel to Cuiping Hill, which is located in the Yangshuo Countryside. After walking uphill for approximately 15 minutes you will see some beautiful views overlooking the Yangshuo countryside consisting of rivers, rice paddies, villages and karst scenery.


Thereafter, be transferred to Xingping where you will board your own Private Raft and travel along what’s considered to be the most beautiful section of the Li River. Admire the spectacular karst formations, surrounding villages and countryside scenery from your own private raft. 
Picture
In the afternoon, following the Private Li River Cruise, you will be transferred to Guilin City. From Yangshuo to Guilin, it typically takes 1.5 x hours and upon arriving into Guilin,  you will visit one of the main attractions -the Reed Flute Cave.

The Reed Flute Cave is a large limestone cave located on the outskirts of Guilin city and allows visitors to get inside and see what's beneath the karst formations. A visit to the Reed Flute Cave takes approximately one hour and afterwards, subject to time (and your preferences), you're welcome to explore the central city lakes, pagodas and snack streets with our guide during the late afternoon/evening. You will be transferred to your Guilin City hotel, where the evening will be at leisure.

Upon arriving into Dazhai Village, you have a couple of different options that can be discussed with your tour guide, depending upon preferences.

Following the visit to Jinkeng Rice Terraces, you'll be transferred directly to the Ping'an Village carpark. From the carpark, depending upon the time you arrive, there are options to either hike up to the Nine Dragons & Five Tigers Viewpoint or alternatively, go directly to your hotel.

Within Ping'an Village, most of the hotels are located within the village itself but with varying views depending upon location. We typically recommend visitors to book one of the boutique hotels a little higher up in the village as whilst it requires more of a walk, the views are nicer. Porters can be hired for an additional fee to transport luggage or luggage can be kept in a secure storage for a small fee. The evening is spent at leisure in Ping'an Village, overlooking the Longi Rice Terraces.

​The Longji Zhuang  Ethnic Minority Village is a quieter village (compared to Ping'an Village) and at the village, we have a local host who invites our clients into their home for a unique local meal experience.
Picture
Inside the house, which is a traditional Zhuang Ethnic Minority style home, visitors will enjoy a variety of dishes including the choices of Bamboo Chicken, Bamboo Rice, vegetables and other local specialties. There is also an option for vegetarian meals (or if you have other food restrictions) if preferred - please advise us in advance.

Following the local meal, explore the Longji Zhuang Village before walking down to the carpark where the driver will be awaiting your arrival to transfer you to the next destination - the Chengyang Dong Minority Villages. It takes approximately 1.5 x hours to travel to Chengyang from the Longji Rice Terrraces.

In the afternoon, visit the Chengyang Wind and Rain Bridge,  which is one of the most famous landmarks in Guangxi Province and an example of one of the many Dong ethnic minority bridges in the region.  Aside from this famous bridge (which has been constructed without a single nail), you can also choose to explore the surrounding villages. There is a nice hike up to the nearby hill offering a panoramic view overlooking the villages and bridge (optional - no additional fee).

After exploring the bridge and villages, you'll be transferred to the town of  Sanjiang where you will stay overnight and have the evening at leisure.

Picture
After visiting Basha, stopover at the off-the-beaten track village of Huanggang. Here, it feels like going back in time and a major change from Basha and Zhaoxing villages! You will get to see a village 'lost in time' and of which the majority of Guizhou Province's villages previously looked like. Aside from the village exploration, we assist the local community by arranging a private performance where the famous 'dong choir' songs are sung by local villagers.
