Upon arrival in Guilin, you will be picked up by your personal driver, transfer from Guilin Airport or Train Stations to your hotel in Guilin. The rest of the day is left free for you to spend at your leisure. You'll have a welcome call in the evening from your tour guide and confirm the departure time for next day. Hotel is not included in the tour package. You can book it by yourself, and I would like to highly recommend: Lijiang Waterfall Hotel (5-star location and facilities, 4-star service) Shangri-La Hotel Guilin (best in Guilin)

Today you'll do a tour to the Longji Rice Terraced Fields with the local professional guide from Guilin. You'll visit two minority villages - Longji Ancient Zhuang Village and Ping'an Village, and admire the beautiful scenery of the terraced fields from various angles. And also you’ll enjoy a home-visit to a local's house, discover the culture and customs of the Zhuang people. After that you’ll experience local minority dishes and snacks in a local family-style restaurant which is highly recommended by all our customers. What’s more you’ll have chances to speak with local Yao women who have famously long hair and are dressed in red clothes. You’ll be transferred back to Guilin City in late afternoon.

Today you'll enjoy the most classic way: a cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo, where it is famous for its beautiful landscape! Listed as one of the world's 15 best rivers for travelers by CNN, the Li River presents itself differently in each season and there are different ways you can appreciate it. To maximize your experience, we will arrange a 4-star cruise for you, which is the highest level. It offers better facilities and a buffet lunch. Staggering limestone formations are scattered along the riverbanks and the scenery changes from a cityscape to rural tranquility as you approach Yangshuo.

In the afternoon, you'll ride a bike into a local village along peaceful and beautiful Yulong River. The idyllic scenery offers you a relaxing atmosphere. I trust you will fall in love with this place. If you want to stay overnight in Yangshuo, you will be transferred to your hotel after the tour. Or you will return Guilin directly. Hotel options in Yangshuo: Yangshuo Mountain Retreat (boutique hotel with great location by riverside) Yangshuo Ancient Garden Boutique Hotel (5 star, one of the best in Yangshuo)

Your personal driver will meet you at your hotel at appointed time and transfer you to airport or train station. Before leaving, you will have a lot of free time to discover the city on your own.
