Itinerary
Your day begins at 9:00 AM, when your private driver will pick you up from your hotel in Guilin. After a scenic 20-minute drive, you’ll arrive at the Reed Flute Cave, located 7 kilometers northwest of downtown Guilin. This U-shaped cave stretches 240 meters deep and requires about 500 meters of walking inside, taking roughly an hour to explore. Inside, you’ll discover a spectacular world of stalactites, stone pillars, and rock formations created by carbonate deposition, illuminated by colorful lighting to create a natural art palace. The cave’s otherworldly beauty makes it a must-visit attraction in Guilin.
Next, head to the Yulong River, a 1.5-hour drive from the Reed Flute Cave. Known as “the Little Li River,” the Yulong River is a tributary of the Li River that starts in northern Yangshuo County. Board a traditional bamboo raft for a 40-minute ride, gliding through tranquil waters surrounded by lush greenery and dramatic karst peaks.
Next, head to Xianggong Hill, a famous scenic spot near the village of Xingping. Known for its panoramic views of the Li River and surrounding karst mountains, this hill is a favorite among photographers and nature lovers. A short hike to the top rewards you with a stunning vista showcasing the unique landscape of Yangshuo, with its meandering river and lush green peaks creating a picturesque scene.
After visiting Ruyi Peak and enjoying dinner (at your own expense), take a 30-minute drive to the natural theater of the Impression Liu Sanjie Show. Set against the mist-shrouded hills and waters of the Li River, this innovative opera integrates nature into its performance. The hills and their reflections in the river create an ever-changing natural setting, while valleys, cool breezes, and gurgling streams contribute to a three-dimensional sound effect. Different weather conditions offer unique seasonal sceneries, ensuring a fresh experience every time you watch it.
After the show, your driver will return you to your Guilin hotel by around 10:30 PM, concluding a memorable day of exploration and wonder.
