Guilin: Nature, Culture And Leisure All Together

Guilin is ideal for outdoor lovers and those who seek relaxation in nature. Where you stay and how you travel will greatly affect your experiences. Usually, I suggest staying in various local boutique hotels to experience Guilin.

Rice Terraces

Traditional Chinese agriculture in southern China. Zhuang and Yao minority Chinese people have been living in the rice terraces for hundreds of years. Their special buildings, lifestyle, and culture are worthwhile to experience up close. These women are known for keeping their long hair.

Yangshuo & Xingping

Unlike the hilly rice terraces, these two towns lie next to the Li River. Stay in a hidden hotel among the mountains, drift on a bamboo raft, cycle through timeless villages, and wake up in a secluded resort.
