Reviews
We were pleasantly surprised by the day. We immediately connected with William, our guide, who explained a lot about the villages visited and Chinese culture. The hike is short and we highly recommend eating at the farm that the guide recommends, where you will prepare rice cooked on the fire inside a bamboo wood.
I was ten minutes late because of something. Tour guide Zeng and driver Sister Zhen were already waiting in the lobby. They didn't have any dissatisfaction. Driver Zhen was the driver on the trip to Yangshuo the day before, and Tour Guide Zeng was a working mother, so they were all fine. Tell us about the local things in Guilin this year, such as the situation when Guilin was flooded by heavy rains, etc. Moreover, Tour Guide Zeng grew up in a rural area. He also told us about going to the market, helping sow passion fruit by hand, etc. The story is very interesting. After a two-hour drive, we first arrived at the Longji Rice Terraces, passed through the ethnic minority villages with three surnames, and had a fresh and delicious farm meal at one of the restaurants run by the family. The aunt first served a pot of fig and ginger tea, and ordered We had Longji river fish, bamboo tube rice, scrambled eggs with freshly picked leeks, braised homemade tofu, and some fresh bamboo shoots. It was so delicious. We also had homemade rice wine, including glutinous rice wine, wild bayberry wine, and passion fruit wine. Wild wine. The boss aunt actually poured two cups for me to try every time. If I like which one I like, I will order a glass. Although the place is simple, it is not decorated too fancy. Because the aunt is too busy cooking, she even adds water, bowls and chopsticks. You have to take care of everything by yourself, but the people here are kind-hearted. After eating and drinking, we set off to the top of the mountain. Along the way, the tour guide carefully introduced the various flowers, fruits and plants we saw. The people in the village were very familiar and greeted the tour guide. . This trip is 7.5 kilometers, passing through many hills, passing by the Seven Stars and the Moon Observation Deck, and finally reaching the Kowloon Five Tigers Observation Deck, and then took a battery car back to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain for the return journey. To be honest, I did not realize at first that it was necessary. Climbing to the top of a mountain several hundred meters high, I walked 7.5 kilometers and passed through several mountain tops. In addition, it was sunny, drizzle, and heavy rain that day. In addition, I didn't realize that I was going to hike, so I didn't travel light. Although the journey was a bit tiring, it was definitely fun and enriched our knowledge. We have seen many terraced fields on TV and pictures, but this time we walked among them in person. It was very interesting. In addition, it is located in the mountains, and it has rained, so the air is very fresh. Sometimes there are The wind blowing up the mountain brought a lot of clouds, and it was very interesting to be in it.
we really had fun with our tour guide. Lele is very friendly and knows a lot about the place. we learned a lot and certainly had so much fun. the car we used was very clean and we had free water bottles. it was such a nice experience, definitely recommend!!
The tour guide Lily was professional and courteous. She explained attentively along the way and provided us with local information. It made me see the cultural scenery of Guangxi. I am very glad to have participated in this tour. The driver was also very satisfied with the driving, highly recommended! Of course the scenery is also beautiful! The places where ethnic minorities live are also an eye-opener for me.
FABULOUS excursion with Frank, a true professional who understood our needs and made sure things ran smoothly without us worrying about the details. He was friendly and considerate in thought and action. Speaks English and shares many interesting facts and anecdotes. He also advised us on the Longji River cruise which was an excellent recommendation to view the limestone mountains.
I really appreciated our tour guide Lily. she was very informative and the driver was really efficient too. The route we did was super stunning and the whole day was perfect thanks to Lily!
Guide 蔡司(Chase) was patient and knowledgeable, accompanied us the whole way without any complaints, it was a joy to speak to him, his English is perfect and highly recommended for all English speaking tourists in Guilin
Thanks to our tour guide Eason for his detailed introduction, and also to Master Deng for his stable driving, punctual pick-up and drop-off, coupled with good weather, which made us gain a lot. It would be better if the price included lunch.
