Itinerary
Pre-Tour
Arrive into Guilin the day before your tour is scheduled to begin or alternatively, activities/itinerary/day order can be changed to reflect your arrival time. Day 1 Meet your tour guide in the morning and depart to the Rice Terraces, which takes approximately 2.5 hours from Guilin. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to the Longji Zhuang Ethnic Minority Village and explore the village with its old architecture and experience life first-hand. For lunch, enjoy a traditional meal in a local family’s house (cooked in a restaurant kitchen). Following lunch, walk from the Longji Zhuang Village to Ping’an Village along a quieter path offering views overlooking the terraces and usually, very few other people! This walk usually takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour and is on a winding uphill path, although not steep. After arriving at Ping’an Village, walk to the different scenic lookouts and further explore the Longji Rice Terraces, depending upon your preferences. Enjoy the evening at leisure at Ping’an Village. Day 2 In the morning, meet your guide at the Ping’an Village hotel lobby before travelling up to Tongdao. In Tongdao, spend the morning visiting a few different Dong Ethnic Minority Villages. The villages are quiet and feature traditional Dong Ethnic Minority architecture including the famous wind and rain bridges. Explore the villages of Zhongbu and Pingtan as well as the Jielong and Huilong Bridges. For lunch, stopover at Huangdu and eat an organic lunch whilst overlooking the famous Puxiu Wind and Rain Bridge. Thereafter, explore the village before continuing to the village of Yutouzhai which is the final village on this ‘Dong Corridor’ route. Following the visit to Yutouzhai, transfer to Wanfoshan Mountain where you will walk uphill to see the spectacular Danxia landforms throughout the area. Afterwards, transfer to your hotel in Tongdao and stay overnight. Day 3 Today’s activities will focus on the old towns of Hunan Province. After checking out from the hotel, you will travel to the ancient town of Qianyang. Explore the old streets and thereafter, continue to the other nearby old business town of Hongjiang. These two towns offer contrasting experiences with Qianyang authentic and largely untouched whilst Hongjiang has been preserved. In the afternoon, visit the ancient town of Fenghuang where you will also stay overnight. Day 4 In the morning, further explore Fenghuang before departing and travelling further north to the town of Furong. This is an old town located on a cliff with a waterfall running underneath. It provides spectacular views and scenery. Alternatively, if you'd prefer a more active tour activity, there is an option to hike along the waterfalls nearby (few hours' hike) Thereafter, continue to Zhangjiajie National Park and visit Tianmen Mountain. Depending upon time, this activity could be moved to the following day. Day 5 Begin the day by visiting Tianzi Mountain in Zhangjiajie National Park. Tianzi Mountain is one of the four main scenic spots in Zhangjiajie providing spectacular views overlooking the various peaks and valley. Following the visit to Tianzi Mountain, travel to the Yuanjiajie Scenic Spot, which is one of the most spectacular areas of Zhangjiajie. It was made famous by the movie Aviator which features this section of the park throughout the movie. You will also take the Bailong Elevator, which is a glass elevator built into the side of a cliff within the Zhangjiajie National Park. Day 6 Today the activities will depend upon what you've seen during the preceding days. However, the plan is to visit and hike along Golden Whip Stream, which is a scenic trail winding through Zhangjiajie alongside the River. Thereafter, visit Yellowstone Village within Zhangjiajie National Park and explore the park in the afternoon with an airport or hotel transfer to conclude the tour. |
