Detailed Tour Itinerary:
Meet your tour guide in the morning at your hotel lobby in Guilin (or Yangshuo) and travel to the Jinkeng Rice Terraces, which is approximately 2 x hours North of Guilin.
The first stop is Xiaozhai Village, which is a smaller village adjacent to the larger Dazhai Village at the Jinkeng Rice Terraces. Xiaozhai Village allows visitors to avoid the large tour groups that mainly travel directly to Dazhai Village for the cable car and gives an insight into the Yao ethnic minority culture.
