Overview of your Guilin & Yangshuo tour

The view from Xianggong Hill at sunrise is the one on every Guilin poster: the Li River bending between a hundred karst peaks, with mist in the valleys. We leave Yangshuo at 4:45, climb the 20 minutes of steps by torchlight, and watch the light come. Then down to the river for a village breakfast and the quiet morning stretch of the bank on foot.

FAQs

What if it is cloudy?

We check the forecast the night before; low cloud still gives the mist, rain does not. In rain we move to a later start and the Yulong River instead.

How do I pay?

After the guide confirms your itinerary you receive a payment link for the 20% deposit (card). The balance is charged 7 days before the tour. Sample policy for the demo.
