Tailor Made Holidays To Guilin

Boats drift lazily along serene rivers, towering peaks reach their lush fingers into the clouds and manicured rice terraces cascade down rolling hillsides. Welcome to Guilin. There’s no denying that this is one of China’s most visually appealing cities. In fact, the landscapes are so picture-perfect that they feature on the 20 yuan bill. Yes, it’s nature that steals the show here, but the laid-back atmosphere, cultural attractions and delicious food are not to be forgotten. Though admittedly the city is mostly used as a jumping off point for the surrounding scenery, you shouldn’t miss the chance to explore some of its sights while passing through. Think age-old caves, peaceful lakes framed by elegant pagodas and hills shaped like elephant trunks. Despite Guilin’s city status, word on the street is that Mother Nature rules. Even the buildings have got a height-restriction so they don’t disturb the views.

Guilin has long been one of China’s most popular tourist attractions - and for good reason. The area is famous for its beautiful karst terrain, mirror-like water bodies and lush vegetation ranging from sweet osmanthus trees to exotic bamboos.  Winding through these pristine rural landscapes is the famous Li River, while the rural villages of the Zhuang and Yao ethnic communities provide a fascinating glimpse into the area’s rich culture and heritage.

Breathtaking views, unforgettable adventures and laid-back vibes are simply part of the package in Guilin. So what are you waiting for? Add this charming city to your itinerary and prepare to be wowed.
