5-Day Guilin Family Tour

5-Day Guilin Family Tour

Endless Fun in the Countryside

If you would like to have a family vacation in China, Guilin should definitely be on your destination list. What’s more, a vanilla itinerary copied and pasted for the average tourist will never create great family memories.

What about some moderate hiking, comfortable camping, and safe caving together? Really get in touch with the celebrated limestone formations in China’s top rock climbing destination — Yangshuo, and splash in the clear water of its scenic rivers when having fun with a SUP. Experience Guilin’s countryside life and relax in its exceptional landscapes. All of these could be the ways that you make exceptional memories on a family holiday in Guilin.

Itinerary Quick Look

Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.

Day 1 Guilin Arrival and Terraced Fields

Your personal guide will meet you at the airport in the morning.

Drive to the Longji Terraced Fields (about 1.5 hours). Explore the minority villages on the mountainsides. Enjoy magnificent views of the rice terraces and understand how local people make their living on the mountains.

Enjoy local dishes for lunch in a local villager’s restaurant. Learn to cook their most popular food, bamboo tube rice, and enjoy it at lunch.

Day 2 Guilin to Xingping | Wild Limestone Cave Exploration

Explore a wild cave in the suburbs of Guilin. A professional caving coach will prepare all the equipment you need for safe caving and escort you from start to finish. Your personal guide and caving coach will show you the beautiful rocks and explain how they came into being. You can play a shadow game and turn off your flashlight to experience the pure darkness. Try the exciting ‘fast rope’ under the supervision and protection of your coach and take great family pictures, which you might have never have had the chance to take before.

Enjoy an Afternoon Tea and Play with Animals on a Mini Farm. Stay in a tent near the Li overnight (depending on the weather).

Day 3Xingping to Yangshuo | Li River Hiking and Farming Experience

Be woken up by a rooster in the village. Cross the village to the ferry, and take a boat to Xingping Town on the other side of the river. Start your hike along the Li, which is about 8 km (5 miles) in total, but can be shortened flexibly. Enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, including the most famous Li River scene on the 20 yuan banknote.

Take a ferry to cross the Li again when you get to Nine Horses Hill. Climb to the top of Xianggong Hill to enjoy the incredible view of the river and the countless limestone peaks.

Drive to Yangshuo after lunch and visit a local artist living on the banks of the Li River. Learn to draw a Chinese painting with his instruction and then make it into a paper fan to take away as a souvenir.

Day 4Yangshuo | Outdoor Activities in the Countryside

Bike around the countryside in the morning. Enjoy a relaxing bamboo rafting on the Yulong River.

And then challenge yourselves to rock climbing under the supervisor of your private coaches. It is so exciting to climb an interesting natural cliff instead of the plastic/plywood of a climbing gym. Or have fun with a SUP

Another option: If you don’t want so many outdoor activities, or if it is too cold to try SUPs, making a landscape painting fan with a local artist is recommended.

Day 5 Yangshuo to Guilin and Departure

Say goodbye to the most beautiful landscape in China as we take you to the airport for your departure.
