About Your Trip
Imagine this: rivers of jade winding through mountain cycles of limestone, centuries old rice terraces covering the mountains sides like the scales of a dragon, bamboo rafts flowing past valleys filled with water buffalo. Welcome to Guilin and Yangshuo, the country with the most dramatic landscape of China, here nature has painted a landscape over 200 million years which is you may call the most poetic landscape of China. This amicably selected 4-day loop opens the heart of karst country of Guangxi. Cruise the Li River beside the famous 20-Yuan Backdrop, jagged peaks reflecting in jade waters; trek the Longji Terraces a UNESCO Agriculture Heritage Landscape where the Zhuang and Yao farmers carved the face of mountains into cloud-climbing sets of ladders; and bike along the Ten-Mile Gallery, a Chinese Landscape masterpiece of sugar-loaf hills and lotus ponds. Savor rice wine in stilt houses at night, nibble chili-marinated river snails in the neon-lited alleys of Yangshuo and raise campfire tales about the skies of stars. Ready to trade skyscrapers for silent peaks and terraced poetry?
