My biggest concern was altitude sickness, but the entire trip went well, and I didn't feel anything. This might be because we had oxygen tanks, and for higher altitudes, the travel agency arranged oxygen rooms, which was a really great touch!
Itinerary: On the day we explored Daocheng Yading, it's essential to bring an oxygen tank. You'll definitely feel a difference in your heart and lungs, and the climb can still be a bit challenging; however, I thought the scenery was decent. The night sky was truly beautiful, and you could see the stars clearly with the naked eye, no telescope needed. Personally, I prefer Mount Siguniang over Daocheng Yading; the scenery at Mount Siguniang is lusher and more diverse!
Driver: The driver was excellent, drove steadily, and had a mild temperament. He was punctual every day and shared interesting local customs and stories with us along the way.

Sally and Bruce from Klook did an excellent job arranging our customized tour. The hotels we stayed at we very conveniently located and quite nice. Mr. Jiang who was our tour guide did an amazing job driving us around and explaining the history and culture of Guilin and Yangshuo. I would thoroughly recommend him as he was the best tour guide we had on our entire trip.

Chrys our guide she was a excellent. Well worth it, because of her the tour was very good, she translated the local s stories during the river bamboo raft experience. Mr Ru our driver was also excellent he stopped for bathroom breaks and anywhere we wanted to stop. Provided us with as much water as we needed. The journey was long and the two of them made us feel very comfortable. Compared to just getting on a Bus well worth the money.

I had the best day visiting Mingshi Pastures and Detian Waterfall. I recommend downloading WeChat to easily communicate with the booking team and driver on the day. The app has in built translations so you can easily find out the plan and meeting points for each location. Enough time was given to explore and the scenery was just divine. My eyes and soul are very happy.

My friend and I booked this trip, and we chose this itinerary specifically for the Genyen Secret Realm. First, let's talk about the accommodation, which is often a primary concern. The 'Comfort' package was quite good for a high-altitude region. The night in Genyen Town, in particular, was simple but clean, better than we expected. The reverse-route altitude design was indeed traveler-friendly; we acclimatized at Mount Siguniang before heading to higher elevations, and we didn't need oxygen tanks at all. Genyen in June is incredibly beautiful – meadows, streams, snow-capped mountains, wildflowers; every view is postcard-perfect. Moshi Park is truly magical, like being on another planet. The weather cooperated perfectly at Yuzi West this time, and we saw the golden sunset over the mountains, which everyone cheered for. Our driver-guide was very experienced, knew the best photo opportunities at each spot, and even helped us secure good vantage points. There were no shopping stops throughout the trip, so all our time was spent enjoying the scenery. My advice is: bring good sunscreen and lip balm, drink plenty of water, and take your time.

What I loved most was that the scenery changed every day; nine-picture grids on WeChat Moments weren't enough to post all the photos. The drone was always ready to fly with the car, and our driver, Brother Leng Qiang, helped us take so many aerial group photos.
The driver mentioned that the number of tourists in late July was already much higher than usual. Indeed, there were a lot of cars on the road, and some roads were winding mountain roads, so I'd advise those considering self-driving to be cautious. Although the daily drives were long, our small group could stop anytime for restroom breaks and photos, so the pace wasn't rushed.
Overall, I was quite satisfied, especially with the driver. I really have to commend him; he's an excellent driver, very attentive, and speaks kindly!

General info
What to know before visiting Nanning
What to do in Nanning year-round
Nanning’s top activities on Klook are led by Tours, followed by Attraction passes and Zoos & aquariums, and the city’s rhythm shifts through the year according to recent booking patterns. Klook booking data show clear peaks in September and April and a deep trough in October, so culture-seeking travellers and day-trip planners will find the busiest months more lively. For visitors choosing when to go, the main decision is whether you want festival-season energy or quieter streets — pick lively months for atmosphere or quieter months for space. All figures referenced here are from Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Nanning
September and April are the city’s busiest months on Klook, with September showing the largest uplift in bookings and April also at peak levels, while October registers the quietest demand. Prices broadly follow demand: the priciest month on Klook falls in April with a median booking price of USD 67, and October is the cheapest with a median of USD 8. Where they diverge, September is very busy but its price is lower than April’s peak, so travellers after atmosphere may find September acceptable; for lower prices and smaller crowds, October or the very quiet summer months work best. Overall recommendation: visit in October for lower prices and quieter streets, or in April/September for peak-season energy.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | USD 11 |
| February | Busier than usual | USD 40 |
| March | Busier than usual | USD 27 |
| April | Peak demand | USD 67 |
| May | Busier than usual | USD 34 |
| June | Very quiet | USD 23 |
| July | Very quiet | (no typical price) |
| August | Peak demand | (no typical price) |
| September | Peak demand | USD 66 |
| October | Very quiet | USD 8 |
| November | Quieter than usual | USD 39 |
| December | Busier than usual | USD 33 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, September 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay in Nanning
Hotel prices on Klook show a clear range across districts. Xingning is typically the most affordable, with a median nightly rate around USD 18, while Liangqing is the priciest at about USD 73; that represents roughly 75% difference between the two according to Klook booking data. The lower end tends to suit budget-minded travellers and those content with simpler accommodation, while the higher end suits travellers seeking more comfort and upgraded amenities. Klook booking data support these typical nightly-price differences and can help you pick a hotel that matches your budget and expectations.
Tips for travellers planning ahead
Most bookings on Klook are made about 10 days ahead, with the earliest planners also booking about 10 days out, so there is some room for short-term flexibility but not long procrastination. Because April and September are the busiest months, consider confirming key experiences earlier if you travel then. Use Klook to compare typical prices and availability for your dates and secure experiences a little in advance to avoid sold-out time slots — the platform’s booking history shows these lead-time patterns and helps travellers lock in preferred options.
