- Li River - Yangdi Village is a tranquil riverside community in southern Guilin, home to approximately 3,000 residents. It is renowned as the most picturesque section of the Li River, featuring iconic, picture-perfect karst peaks rising dramatically from the water, a landscape that has made Guilin famous worldwide.
From Yangdi Pier, guests will board a quiet electric boat for a leisurely cruise downstream to Nine-Horse Fresco Hill, one of the Li River’s most legendary natural landmarks. This relaxing journey lasts about 50 minutes, sailing slowly through crystal-clear waters flanked by lush bamboo groves, limestone cliffs, and timeless rural scenery.
These small electric boats offer a more intimate and authentic experience than large tourist ships, allowing guests to get close to the water and fully absorb the serene beauty of the karst landscape.
Note: Each boat accommodates four passengers, so the cruise will be shared with other tourists.

Xianggong Mountain - The tour will proceed to Xianggong Hill, one of Guilin’s most iconic and photogenic viewpoints, perfect for travelers wanting to experience the true essence of the karst landscape up close.

The walk is enjoyable and not too strenuous, making it ideal for photography enthusiasts and casual hikers alike.
Once at the top, guests will be greeted with a stunning, unobstructed panoramic view that stretches across the winding Li River and the dramatic, towering karst peaks surrounding it. From this vantage point, one can fully appreciate why Guilin’s landscape is famous worldwide — the river curves gracefully through a sea of limestone mountains, creating picture-perfect scenery at every angle. This is widely regarded as one of the most spectacular natural views in China and an absolute must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Guilin. -
Dragon’s Backbone Rice Terraces - After a two-hour drive, guests will arrive at Ping’an Rice Terraces, one of the most stunning and earliest discovered terraces by travelers.

Later, there will be free time to visit Huangluo Longhair Village to learn more about the local people’s unique lifestyle and traditions. - Guilin - After the tour, guests will be transferred back to their hotel in Guilin.
