8D7N China Guilin & Guiyang Private Tour
On arrival at Guangzhou airport, travel on a high-speed train to Guilin, renowned for its stunningly beautiful karst landscape characterized by limestone hills, caves and clear waters of the Li River which meanders through the city and the surrounding limestone formations and lush flora.
Today we will visit two of Guilin’s top attractions: (1) the Reed Flute Cave, an ecological wonder with exquisitely-formed stalactites and stalagmites and the colourful illumination within the cave adds to the beauty of the structures, and, (2) the Elephant Trunk Hill, a limestone formation that resembles an elephant drink from the river with an ancient pagoda sitting atop the hill. From Elephant Trunk Hill, we will continue on to the “Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area”, a beautiful and picturesque park encompassing two rivers and four man-made interconnected lakes with a number of ancient pagodas and temples within the area. The area is especially popular for its illuminated and romantic night scene when the structures including bridges and buildings within the park are lit up with colourful lights. We will end the day at the popular Zhengyang Pedestrian Street in Guilin town centre where you can spend the evening at your own leisure.
Today we will go on a cruise on the Li River and take in the stunning scenery of Guilin as we cruise towards Yangshuo – there is probably no better way to enjoy the beauty of Guilin! As you cruise along the river, you might also get glimpses of local life along the riverbanks, be it fishermen on their bamboo rafts casting their nets or farmers tending to their lands. Yangshuo, the destination, is a great place to enjoy the natural beauty of Guilin in a more laid-back rural atmosphere. Enjoy the town centre in Yangshuo at your own leisure, or if you would like to see more of the karst landscape, you can opt for a traditional bamboo raft cruise along the Yulong River, a tributary of the Li River that runs through some of the most stunning karst landscapes in the region.
In the morning, go for a tour of the charming Xingping Ancient Town, reputedly the most beautiful ancient town along the Li River and the site where the Guilin scenery on China’s RMB20 note was taken. Thereafter, we will head to the Longji Rice Terraces Scenic Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a history dating back more than 650 years. The spectacular agricultural landscape of terraced rice fields carved in the steep hillsides by the Zhuang and Yao ethnic minority communities over centuries utilising a sustainable gravity-based irrigation system is in itself an engineering marvel!
Today, we will head back to Guilin and ride a high-speed train to Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province. Enjoy the city at your own leisure. Qianling Park is a popular attraction and Qingyun Road, a famous pedestrian street, is certainly worth a visit in the evening for its food and bustling nightlife.
Today, we will visit the Huangguoshu Waterfalls, the largest cluster of 18 waterfalls in the world where the largest among them at 83m wide and 67m tall is itself the largest waterfall in Asia and the third largest in the world. Apart from the sheer magnificence of the waterfalls, highlights at the waterfalls include the Water Curtain Cave, a visitor-accessible cave behind the curtain of water, and the Tianxingqiao Scenic Area, a scenic area downstream featuring among others pools, cascades and smaller waterfalls. Thereafter, we will move on to Qingyan Ancient Town, a well-preserved walled town with a history dating back more than 600 years that was originally built as a military fortress and later developed into a trade centre. Its historical and cultural significance has earned it the recognition of being a “National Historical and Cultural Town of China”.
