Discover one of China's modern cities with highlights of its ancient past as you explore the metropolis of Guilin. Here you will have opportunities to travel across the distinct karst limestone landscapes on the banks of the Li River. Reed Flute Cave is a technicolor wonder of stalactites and stalagmites with wall writings that date back over 1200 years. Also make sure to see the Twin Pagodas - Sun and Moon. You'll also have the chance to see Solitary Beauty Peak, keeping watch over the city. Guilin is a favorite stop on many of our tours of China. Let us know when you're ready to start planning your Guilin adventure!
Highlights of Guilin With a booming population close to 5 million people, this ancient city has always been an important cultural center in China. The modern city is built around the two remaining lakes - Shanhu (Cedar) and Ronghu (Banyan) - from a medieval moat that once surrounded the town. Now, this city offers travelers the chance to:
Visit the colorfully lit Reed Flute Cave, which has a human history of exploration dating back close to a thousand years.
Behold the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, especially at night when they illuminate the shores of the lake.
Check out Solitary Beauty Peak & hike along the Li River.
Cruise the Yulong River on bikes or maybe even a bamboo raft.
Visit one of the smaller local communities in rural China.
Explore the rice paddies that serve as a major agricultural pillar of China's commerce.

Jessica was very responsive to my questions and never balked when I asked her to go back and find more options. She really worked hard to find the right cruise for us.

Adventure Life took care of a lot of details for me because I flew separately and met up with the group at the start of the trip. On the return they dropped me off in Cantania and flew back to the UK as one group.
I was the only American on the Exodus trip which was not a problem. Communication between the two companies was good.

We loved our time aboard the Angel. Beautiful boat and crew. Naturalist Jose Luis was incredible-very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He adapted tours to our group and we all had an amazing trip. Love staying a the quaint hacienda and the recommended activities.
