Attraction introduction: This itinerary includes Guilin stop. Guilin The mountains and waters are the finest under heaven. Li River, Elephant Trunk Mountain, and Yulong River form classic ink paintings. Bamboo rafts and fishing lights are best enjoyed slowly. These are real scenic spots for landscape poetry. Among them, Li River, Elephant Trunk Mountain, and Reed Flute Rock are the most worth exploring in detail.

Frequent travelers suggest that the reputation of "the best mountains and waters under heaven" is well deserved. Visitors say both Elephant Trunk Mountain and Li River are worth it; Reminder: Bamboo rafts are time-sized, and Yangshuo West Street is lively with nightlife. Based on past experience, Yangshuo West Street offers rich nightlife, and you can extend to Yulong River rafting; Guilin Rice noodles and beer fish are worth trying, so pay attention to food hygiene.

Today's theme is Yangshuo: avoid peak crowds and enter the park in staggered times, following recommended routes for in-depth exploration; Enjoy local flavors nearby at noon, then have free time or follow a guide in the afternoon, and check in at the hotel to rest. At night, Yangshuo is brightly lit; after dinner, take a riverside walk and take photos—remember to set aside time for the evening.

Attraction introduction: This itinerary includes Yangshuo stop. Yangshuo represents the essence of Guilin mountains and waters. Li River Bamboo Raft, Yulong River, and the Ten-Mile Gallery resemble ink scrolls, suitable for both cycling and rock climbing. They are the best footnote to "Guilin Landscape is the best under heaven." Among them, the Li River highlights, Yulong River bamboo raft, and Ten-Mile Gallery are the most worth exploring in detail.

Friendly reminder: Most streets in the ancient town are stone-paved and slippery when raining. It is recommended to wear well-fitting flat shoes. Vision is poor at night, so watch your step; Carry valid ID cards and other valid documents, follow the guide throughout, and remember meeting information. Frequent travelers recommend that the Yulong River bamboo raft is recognized as more comfortable than the main section of Li River, with tourists saying the landscape is picturesque; A reminder to queue early at Yulong River, and to explore West Street at night. From experience, afternoon drowsiness has a greater impact on elderly and children; Set aside time to return to the hotel for a rest at noon.

Gather in the morning and depart for Longji Rice Terraces, 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 journey. Choosing the cable car uphill saves energy; hiking downhill pays attention to details. This is the easiest Longji Rice Terraces order.

Attraction introduction: Longji Rice Terraces is a major highlight of this trip. Located in Longsheng Various Nationalities Autonomous County, Guangxi, it is a cluster of terraced fields cultivated by the ancestors of the Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups. It is vast in scale and features a chain of lines. Ping'an Zhuang Village and Jinkeng Dazhai are the most famous, with the best scenery during the irrigation and autumn harvest seasons. Among them, Ping'an Village, Jinkeng Dazhai, and Longji Ancient Zhuang Village are especially worth a closer look.

Friendly reminder: There are many mountain roads, with cooler mornings and evenings and large temperature differences between sections. It is recommended to bring a jacket and comfortable sports shoes. Slow down on slippery roads; Please carry valid ID cards and other valid documents, follow the guide, and remember meeting times and places clearly. Visitors often say the terraced fields are spectacular, and that irrigation (May) and golden autumn (October) are the most beautiful; Reminder: The mountain roads are winding, so check the morning fog value in the village. Based on my own experience, Ping'an and Jinkeng Village require hiking uphill, and luggage can be carried by porters; The viewing platforms are scattered, so it's recommended to reserve a whole day for a leisurely tour and detailed photos.

Early in the morning, head straight to Li River from the hotel, listen to the guide explain the background and highlights, then enjoy a leisurely tour and take additional photos based on your interests; After lunch, rest briefly and return to the hotel in the evening to recharge for the next day. Early morning Li River is the best time to shoot; setting out early helps avoid crowds and still enjoy views of the misty scenery.

Attraction introduction: A highlight of the itinerary is Li River. Li River is at Guilin, the most famous section from Yangdi to Xingping, where the landscape on the back of the 20 RMB bill is featured. You can take a bamboo raft or boat tour to see the Nine Horses Painted Mountain and the reflections of yellow cloth, which is the essence of "Guilin Landscape Unmatched in the World."

Friendly reminder: Since there is a lot of walking along the route, it's recommended to wear well-structured sports shoes and bring a light jacket depending on the weather; Be sure to carry your ID card and other documents, join the group throughout the trip, and remember the meeting time and place. Many tourists say Li River is more worth stopping than expected, so follow the explanations and take time to take great photos. According to common sense, Li River bamboo rafts mostly run from Yangdi to Xingping, where some tidal flats are exposed and the scenery is slightly diminished when water levels are low; If you want to see fishing lights and morning mist, choose early morning.
