Make the most of your time in Guilin with this perfectly designed private day tour that combines the region’s most iconic landscapes with authentic local culture.

Your journey begins at 8:00 AM with hotel pickup in Guilin, followed by a scenic drive to Yangdi Pier—the gateway to the most beautiful section of the Li River.

Step onto a traditional bamboo raft and drift along crystal-clear waters between towering karst peaks. This 40-minute rafting experience offers a peaceful and immersive way to admire Guilin’s world-famous scenery. Along the way, you’ll pass the legendary Nine Horses Hill and postcard-perfect river landscapes that define southern China.

Next, continue to Xingping Town, home to the iconic view printed on China’s 20 RMB banknote. Standing here, surrounded by dramatic mountains and the winding Li River, you’ll instantly recognize one of the most photographed scenes in the country.

Then, enjoy a truly unique cultural experience—cormorant fishing. Watch a local fisherman demonstrate this ancient technique using trained birds, a tradition passed down for generations. You’ll have the chance to take close-up photos and interact with both the fisherman and the cormorants.

In the afternoon, head to Xianggong Hill. After a short climb, you’ll reach one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Guilin. From the top, the Li River winds through endless karst peaks, creating a spectacular panoramic landscape that’s especially popular among photographers.

After a full day of unforgettable experiences, relax on your private transfer back to your hotel in Yangshuo or Guilin.
