Guilin Trip Planner

If it’s your first visit to Guilin, this is usually the route I recommend most. It combines the best of the region in a single day: the famous limestone peaks of the Li River, the river journey itself, and the slower countryside atmosphere around Yangshuo.

A day trip to the Longji Rice Terraces is one of the most rewarding escapes from Guilin. While Guilin is known for its limestone peaks and river scenery, Longji Rice Terraces offers something completely different—mountain landscapes shaped by centuries of farming, hillside villages, and a slower pace of life among Guangxi’s minority communities.
