Real Interaction with Picturesque and Idyllic Guilin
The best way to explore a picturesque and idyllic place like Guilin is just to feel the land with your feet and see it with your own eyes. When you replace typical tour activities like driving or taking a cruise with hiking and climbing, you will be able to slow down and take in the beauty around you instead of just passing quickly by.
On this 5-day Guilin tour, you will drop the 'set menu' made for ordinary tourists and go beyond the popular sites. Take a moderate hike in the terraced fields and alongside the picturesque Li River.
Tour 'Wow' Points
Climb to the Top of a Karst Hill for Fairytale Views on Earth
Skip the touristy boat cruise and take a hike on the most beautiful section of Li River. Feel the power of nature from the peak and get a God's Eye View of the surrounding landscape.


Enjoy the View of Terraced Fields on a Less-Travel Path
Go beyond the popular spots and get off the beaten path in a less crowded ancient village.


Have Fun while Kayaking
Explore the peaceful down section of Li river on a kayak. This adventure can be taken at your own pace whether you want to paddle hard or just float along and enjoy the scenery.

Lele was very accommodating and managed our family with ease and grace. Lele took the time to engage with us each personally throughout the trip which made the tour even more meaningful. Lele was always punctual and highly organized during our trip. Simply put, Lele makes it feel as if you are touring abroad with your best friend. You almost forget that you are away from home.
