Guilin & Yangshuo private tours with a local
Karst peaks, the Li River by bamboo raft, rice terraces in the hills.
3 private tours1 local guidefrom $229 per groupSouth China
The karst landscape around Guilin and Yangshuo is the China of ink paintings: limestone peaks rising straight out of rice paddies, the Li River winding between them. A guide takes you to Xingping for the bamboo-raft stretch on the 20-yuan note, cycles the Yulong River back lanes with you, and drives you up to the Longji rice terraces when the water or the gold is in.
