GUILIN | ALONG THE LI RIVER
>> KARST SCENERY | RIVERSIDE ACTIVITIES | LOCAL HOME STAY
Board the classic Li River boat cruise to admire Guilin's illustrious limestone rock formations, or opt for less crowded alternatives such as hiking riverside paths and ferry hopping along the Li River, climbing to karst tops or exploring inside caves, and staying overnight in a renovated Qing era family residence.
YANGSHUO | OUTDOOR PARADISE
>> NATURAL ENVIRONMENT | LOCAL & OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Base yourself by the gentle Yulong River to facilitate your outdoor fix: float downstream in an iconic bamboo raft or climb to Moon Hill before you shake off the masses and navigate offbeat roads by bicycle or electric scooter, tame the region’s streams in an ATV or go for a swim at a hidden waterfall.
LONGJI | ENDLESS RICE TERRACES
>> NATURAL ENVIRONMENT | LOCAL SPECIALITIES | HIKING
Take it easy and simply enjoy the vistas of the Ping'an and Dazhai terraced rice fields or opt for a full day hike to really experience your surroundings. Travel to a secluded hamlet to learn how paper is made the traditional way and go cut your own bamboo to prepare lunch in. Great with kids!
