What a memorable trip! Guilin is the place where you could find the beautiful nature scenery of China! The river, karsts landscapes, clear water, fresh air all of the things in Guilin are my favorite. I love the environment and its scenery views! Just breathtaking!
Colorful Reed Flute Cave
From the trip began, our tour guide picked us up on time at the airport. We just directly visited Reed Flute Cave, a beautiful nature cave with multicolored lighting before transferred us to the hotel in Guilin. The hotel was comfortable, clean and full with advanced facilities. On the second day, we did visit Longji Terraced Field in Longsheng which located little bit far from the downtown.
Longji Terraced Field
The roads to Longji terraced field itself are narrow and winding. We took 2 and half hours to reach the area. We hiked up to the mountains, enjoyed our journey and saw stunning sceneries around. Words alone cannot really describe the scenery. It was so beautiful even I think I’m walking through a fantasy land. I have never seen rice terraces as impressive as these, a complete and huge one. Once you stand on the top, there you will see large green rice paddies as far as you could see. We did also can see a beautiful Pingan village. The atmosphere and everything there was just really great, far from the city, no car, no pollution, no bikes, just us and nature.
Minority Performance in Sanjiang Town
Longji Terraced Field is just one of the highlight of our trip. Besides, we also did visit Sanjiang town to see the old and unique building architecture of the local Dong ethnic minorities. We could see Chengyang Wind & Rain Bridge and the Drum Tower which are the symbol of architecture from Dong ethnic people. And once again we could felt, we were back to nature. That was very relaxing trip! We only saw the village, terraces, old buildings, local people, without car and less crowded.
Li River to Yangshuo Cruise Tour
In additional, the cruise trip through Li River to Yangshuo was memorable and enjoyable. Yangshuo is a beautiful country side with the combination of clear rivers and magnificent karsts peaks. Perfect landscape! Could not describe it by words. On the last day, we did also visit the symbol of Guilin, a must visit place of the city, Elephant Trunk Hill. The enjoyment of this trip is to exploring many natural beauties as well as to discover the local culture. I am just very satisfied with the service and our destination choice, Guilin!
