Activity itinerary

Guangzhou (Pass by)

Kickstart your remarkable day as the driver greets you in the hotel lobby, smoothly whisking you away to Guangzhou Train Station. From there, hop on a high-speed bullet train bound for Guilin, a city brimming with spectacular natural beauty waiting to be discovered. Upon reaching Guilin, a professional private guide will warmly welcome you. This isn't just any guide; they're a local expert who can spin captivating stories, interpret the rich culture, and handle any issues that might arise. Tailoring the tour according to your interests, they ensure you uncover hidden treasures and fully appreciate the deep historical and cultural significance behind each attraction.

Reed Flute Cave (Ludi Yan)

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
The adventure commences at the spellbinding Reed Flute Cave. Tucked within the karst terrain, this underground paradise is truly a sight to behold. As you enter, you'll find yourself surrounded by a fantastical showcase of nature's craftsmanship. Stalagmites ascend from the floor, stalactites dangle from the ceiling, and stone columns, curtains, and flowers craft a dreamlike setting. Thanks to the eco-friendly neon illumination, the cave's allure is heightened, bringing out intricate details and vivid hues. Ancient murals and inscriptions dating back some 1,300 years to the Tang Dynasty add an extra layer of historical allure, enabling you to peek into the past as you wander through this natural gem.

Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangbishan)

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Following that, make your way to the renowned Elephant Trunk Hill, one of Guilin's most emblematic landmarks. The instant you set eyes on it, you'll grasp why it's so named – its form is an uncanny likeness of an elephant lowering its trunk into the Li River. However, the charm of this hill extends well beyond its distinctive shape. Steeped in local folklore and legends, it exudes an air of mystery and charm. Enveloped by idyllic scenery, Elephant Trunk Hill presents perfect opportunities for taking stunning photos and allows you to fully absorb the splendour of Guilin's natural vistas.

Guilin Two Rivers and Four Lakes Resort

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Then, it's time for a scenic river cruise, an essential experience in Guilin. Drift along the two rivers and four lakes, which are a vital component of the city's scenic splendour and serve as its natural tourism emblem. As you glide gently on the water, you'll be treated to sweeping views of Guilin's iconic mountains, traditional buildings, and verdant greenery. During the cruise, relish a mouthwatering local lunch, savouring the distinct flavours of Guilin cuisine, which combines unique spices with fresh ingredients.

Guangzhou (Pass by)

As the day winds down, your guide will accompany you back to the train station for your return bullet train journey to Guangzhou. Once you arrive in Guangzhou, you're free to head back to your hotel at your leisure, carrying cherished memories of this enchanting day spent exploring Guilin.
