Itinerary

Once you arrive at the airport, your guide and driver will pick you up and transfer you to the hotel. You’ll have free time today to explore the scenic spots in downtown Guilin. We recommend not missing the Two Rivers and Four Lakes in the evening – under the lights, Fir Lake and Banyan Lake shine brilliantly alongside the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, creating a truly breathtaking view.

In the morning, you’ll first drive to Lingtian, the starting point of today’s riding route. Along the way, you can pause for a rest and take some photos – in spring the fields glow with rapeseed blossoms, while in summer and autumn you’ll pass through ripening rice paddies.

Enjoy your lunch before continuing your ride through the countryside toward Xiong Village, which once flourished during the Ming and Qing dynasties as an important hub on the Xiang-Gui trade route. Today, it remains a quiet and non-commercialized village, still preserving its original rural lifestyle. Afterward, continue your ride to Daxu, where you’ll spend the night and rest up in preparation for tomorrow’s journey.

Then you’ll take a scenic hike along the ancient Osmanthus Trail, cross a stone bridge, pass through farms and countryside, and finally reach Tengjiao Temple, perched beside the river. Enjoy a moment of peace surrounded by farmlands and natural mountain scenery.

After the walk, continue by car to Yangshuo, where more stunning karst landscapes and countryside charm await.

This morning begins with a drive to the area near Xianggong Mountain. At the viewing platform, breathe in the fresh mountain air and take in a breathtaking scene – karst peaks, river valleys, and farmland forming what looks like a traditional Chinese ink painting. Enjoy a cup of coffee as you relax and savor this peaceful moment in nature.

Starting from Xianggong Mountain, the route passes through Baisha and Yulong River, ending at Jiuxian Village. Along the way, you’ll be immersed in karst peaks, the Li River, ancient villages, and rice fields that reflect everyday life in rural Yangshuo.

In the afternoon, choose your adventure amid the raw beauty of karst landscapes – explore in Yueliang Shui Cave with its otherworldly rock formations, or challenge a ferrata outdoor camp, where cliffside paths and breathtaking views await the bold.

  • u003cemu003eu003cemu003eWe visited both Xi’an and Shanghai under Jiuhong’s arrangement and received the same first-class service in both cities.
