Day 1: Guilin

Gather in the morning and depart for Guilin, follow the guide along the main route, visit the highlights one by one, and allow enough time for photos and rest; Enjoy local specialties at noon, continue deeper in the afternoon, check into the hotel in the evening, and recharge for the next day's itinerary.


Attraction introduction: This stop is Guilin, which is famous for its four wonders: 'green mountains, clear waters, unique caves, and beautiful rocks.' The 'Guilin landscape is the best in the world,' truly deserving its reputation. The landscape gallery at Li River is the core. Taking a boat or bamboo raft downstream, the bizarre peaks on both banks reflect in the water, resembling a flowing ink painting; The Yulong River and Ten-Mile Gallery at Yangshuo add even more pastoral poetry. My understanding is that the best time to visit Li River is early morning for the best lighting; The bamboo raft and cycling of Yangshuo are the best ways to experience the countryside, so remember to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated.


Friendly reminder: The mountain roads are slippery, so be sure to shift your center of gravity and slow down downhill. You can bring a pair of knee pads. Visitors generally say the "best scenery in the world" is well-deserved, and both Elephant Trunk Mountain and Li River are worth it; Reminder: Bamboo rafts are time-sized, and Yangshuo West Street is bustling with nightlife. Based on actual conditions, documents and wallets are kept separately. Important documents can be taken and stored on your phone for backup. If lost, you can quickly reissue them without delaying your trip.

Attraction introduction: This stop is Li River, Li River at Guilin. The section from Yangdi to Xingping is the most famous, and the landscape on the back of the 20 RMB bill comes from here. You can take a bamboo raft or boat to see the Nine Horses painting mountains and the reflections of yellow cloth—this is the essence of 'Guilin Landscape Unmatched Under Heaven.' My understanding is that sunrises and sea of clouds on the mountain are rare and hard to come by; if you focus your anticipation on the journey itself, unexpected delights often follow.


Friendly reminder: The climbing route has many steps and steep slopes, so be sure to wear non-slip sports shoes. Those with mobility difficulties are advised to take the cable car up and down.
