Best Things to Do in Guilin
When people think of Guilin, the first image that comes to mind is its dreamlike karst mountains and winding rivers. But Guilin offers so much more than just pretty landscapes it’s a mix of natural beauty, cultural depth, and everyday local life. Here are a few of the must-do experiences:
1. Cruise Along the Li River
The Li River cruise is Guilin’s crown jewel. The journey between Guilin and Yangshuo takes you past limestone peaks, bamboo groves, and ancient fishing villages. It’s the kind of scenery that feels like a traditional Chinese painting brought to life.
2. Explore Reed Flute Cave
Often called the “Palace of Natural Art,” Reed Flute Cave is filled with dramatic stalactites and stalagmites, made even more magical by colorful lighting. It’s a glimpse into Guilin’s hidden underground world.
3. Visit the Longji Rice Terraces
A couple of hours from Guilin, the Dragon’s Backbone Rice Terraces stretch across the hills in breathtaking patterns. Whether glowing gold in autumn or glistening with water in spring, the terraces are a photographer’s dream.
4. Stroll Through Yangshuo’s Countryside
Yangshuo, a charming town at the end of the Li River, offers a slower pace. Cycling or taking a buggy ride through its villages and orchards is the perfect way to soak in rural China.
5. See the Symbol of Guilin: Elephant Trunk Hill
This natural rock formation, shaped like an elephant drinking from the river, is one of Guilin’s most iconic landmarks and a favorite photo spot.
