Today, you’ll explore four top-rated scenic spots in Guilin. First, visit Prince Jingjiang’s Mansion – the best-preserved and longest-standing remains of a feudal lord’s residence from the Ming Dynasty in China. Here, you can admire exquisite ancient architecture, picturesque garden designs, and precious historical relics while learning about Guilin’s history and culture.

Next, head to East-West Lane, a famous historical alley in Guilin. Wander leisurely through it to appreciate ancient-style buildings and cultural relics, taste authentic local snacks, or browse shops selling characteristic handcrafted artworks. You can also experience Guilin’s intangible cultural heritage, such as round fans and sandstone paintings.

In the afternoon, visit Guilin’s iconic landmark – Elephant Trunk Hill. Located at the confluence of the Li River and Peach Blossom River, it gets its name from its resemblance to a giant elephant drinking water in the river. This uniquely shaped hill and the clear surrounding rivers form a spectacular scenic view, leaving a deep impression from any angle.

Finally, travel to Reed Flute Cave, known as “Nature’s Art Palace”. As one of China’s most renowned tourist caves, it boasts numerous stalagmites, stalactites, stone pillars, stone curtains, and stone flowers. Illuminated by colorful lights, these formations shine brightly like a dreamy wonderland. Follow the guide’s explanation to learn about the formation process of the stalactites and the stories behind them.

You’ll also learn the legendary stories behind scenic spots like Wangfu Stone (Widow’s Peak) and Guanyan Cave, and enjoy the wonderful feeling of “traveling within a painting.” (Lunch Upgrade: We have carefully prepared a customized Western-style lunch for you. The guide will bring the freshly cooked meal in the early morning for you to enjoy on the boat.)
