About Guilin Local Tour
The two kind of tropical tower Karst can find their own
expressions in many scenic spots in Guilin area such
as Reed Flute Cave, Elephant Trunk Hill, Fubo Hill and Western
Hill. But Guilin has not just hills and caves to
offer, the trip in Guilin will be considered
incomplete without a boat trip to Yangshuo Town. On
the way you may be treated with many local
delicacies while drinking the local Sanhua wine.
Yangshuo Town is small but famous. There's even an
old Chinese saying "While Guilin's landscape is the best in the world;
Yangshuo's scenery is the best in Guilin". The
highlight of the trip is: enjoying the local flavor
and the beautiful landscape, as if scroll of
pictures of mountains and rivers were slowly
unfolding at the same time. While in Yangshuo Town,
a bicycle trip to the nearby Moon Hill will be an
experience of a life time.

| DAY 01 |
arrive in Guilin (D)
You will fly to Guilin, which is located in
Guangxi province of southern China. Famous
people and poets down through the centuries have
eulogized Guilin’s scenery. It really has to be
seen to be believed. The mountains are so sheer
they come vertically out of the ground, as
Guilin has some of the most spectacular karst
topography in the world. The tooth-like
limestone mountains come in clusters, or as
isolated monoliths or mesas, often with caves,
and sometimes with holes all the way through,
like Elephant Hill and Moon Hill in Yangshuo.
Upon your arrival at the airport you will be met
by your English-speaking guide, and from there
we’ll get started on your touring with a visit
to the Reed Flute Cave. The Reed Flute Cave (Ludi
Yan) is a fascinating gallery of natural
sculpture (limestone cave formations), now
enhanced by multicolored lighting, which has
been one of Guilin’s many interesting
attractions for over 1200 years. It rates as one
of the top four tourist sites in the city. The
cave is about 240 meters long and a tour lasts
about one hour. Along the u-shaped route, you
will have ample time see the oddly shaped rocks
and stone pillars while the guide narrates
interesting stories about them. Illuminated by
the colored lights, the cave looks like a
dazzling underground palace. That’s why the cave
is also known as the Nature’s Art Palace.
Then it is off to the Elephant Trunk Hill, a
major landmark of the city. Located at the
confluence of the Li River and Peach Blossom
River in the south central area of Guilin City,
it looks like a huge elephant stretching its
trunk and drinking water, hence the name.
Elephant Trunk Hill is the symbol of Guilin and
its karst landscape.

Guilin-Longsheng (B, L, D)
After breakfast in the hotel we will make the
2-hour drive to visit the Longji rice terraces in
Longsheng.
The Longji Terraced fields (also known as the
Devil’s Backbone), were first built in the Yuan
dynasty (1279-1368 AD) and completed in the Qing
dynasty (1644-1911 AD) by the Zhuang people. The
terraced fields are built along the slope
winding from the riverside up to the
mountaintop, with the highest place of an
elevation of 885m and the lowest 380m.
The town of
Longsheng is situated in a densely
forested area of over 2400 square kilometers and
has a population of only 160,000 people, with
many of them from the Miao, Dong, and Zhuang
ethnic minorities. It is surrounded by mountains
in four sides and lies 100 kilometers north of
Guilin, as well as in the joint area of Heping
River and Sang River. Built on the mountain
slopes, the town boasts rows of tall buildings
separated by banyan trees.
After your visit to the fields you’ll get to
spend some time with some of the local villagers
in the area who come from the minority cultures
(like the Zhuang and Yao). You’ll get to
experience and learn a little something about
them, and maybe they’ll get to learn a little
something about you! For the night we will stay
at a hostel in
Longsheng.
