Things to do in Guilin

I purchased this tour through the platform. The price includes a cruise, buffet lunch, and transfer. Instructions are sent one day before the trip. I couldn't get in touch immediately via WeChat, so I had to write on WhatsApp first. We agreed on a starting point for the transfer from Guilin - it turned out to be a 5-minute walk from my hotel. The river station is located outside Guilin; we were driven there in 1 hour. On the spot, I received my ticket for a 4-star ship. I missed the breakfast at the port, so I can't say anything about it. The ship itself is luxurious. For the first 2-2.5 hours, everyone is on deck taking pictures of the karst hills. Then, at 12:30, lunch begins. The food is delicious and varied. I would like to note the availability of french fries and breaded chicken. Unlimited tea is also served. The staff is polite and willing to help, and even speaks a little English. In conclusion: the cruise is amazing, but it will be cheaper through agencies. The price of my ticket differed by 1.5 times from the cost in agencies.

The Longji Rice Terraces are a stunning earth sculpture. Under the sun, they look like a mountain of mirrors; in the mist, they resemble a fairyland. The lines are like verses flowing for thousands of years. They are truly beautiful.

A very beautiful show. Lots of performers and wonderful lights. A pleasant and different evening in Yangshuo.

Peak with a wonderful panorama, but not quite 5 stars in my opinion. It lacks a bit of the sense of wonder that other mountains in the area have, like Laozaishan or Xianggong. Still, it's a very pleasant experience overall.

We ordered online as we do not have much time. Tour agent will contact 1 day before cruise date, best to have wechat. Be aware that not all hotels will be available for direct pick up, I had to walk around 5 minutes to pick up point. A bus will take you to the pier. Tour guide was helpful. Boat journey comfortable with lunch and snacks + tea provided. The entire tour is in Chinese language. Good to experience this cruise at least once.

We very much enjoyed two nights, three days customized tour in Guiling and Yangshou. The places and timing were up to our need and expectations. I highly recommend this tour as we had a great experience from the planning, to meeting and greetings, accommodation quality and cruise comfort. The driver was professional and timely. the best highlight of our trip is having our amazing tour guide Louna! She is very friendly, and explained a lot about the places, the culture and history in very good English language 😊 She helped a lot in recommending great restaurants both in Guilin, Yangshou and the Huanglo village. she was always taking care of us, providing drinking water, bathroom breaks, and rain coats as neede and she was always waiting for us. In addition to the amazing 4 hours Li River cruise, we enjoyed the Elephant trunk hill, the reed flute cave, the silver cave, the moon hill view, the long hair show, the Impression Sanjie Lui show, the Longji rice terrace and many more!!

We booked the english speaking tour and our driver Mok was amazing! We had a great day and enjoyed all the activities, especially the bamboo rafting (we did get wet though so bring a spare pair of pants!). Mok told us about the local culture and history, he took great care of us and is also a great driver. Thank you for an amazing day trip!

I recently booked a Guilin Li River , and it turned out to be the highlight of my trip to China! From the moment I boarded the boat, I was blown away by the breathtaking scenery—limestone karsts rising steeply from the misty, emerald-green water, with fishermen casting nets on bamboo rafts drifting by. It felt like sailing straight into a traditional Chinese painting

Seamless transfer to cruise from hotel by bus provided by the operator. The cruise was steady and comfortable with good commentaries. It also slowed down at places mentioned in the commentary for photo taking. The buffet had very nice food like fried Guilin mifen, beef stew etc. Overall it was a pleasant and comfortable experience.
