Discover Guilin’s Gems:Guangzhou-Bullet Train Highlight Tour

Your day kicks off with a driver meeting you in your hotel lobby, after which you’ll enjoy a smooth ride to Guangzhou Train Station. Once there, you’ll board a high-speed bullet train heading to Guilin—a destination brimming with natural wonders.

When you arrive in Guilin, a dedicated private guide will be there to greet you. Their professional knowledge and local know-how will prove indispensable all day long. A private guide is more than just someone leading the tour; they’re storytellers who share local tales, cultural guides who explain traditions, and problem-solvers who handle unexpected hiccups. They’ll tailor the experience to match your interests, making sure you don’t overlook hidden treasures and helping you fully grasp the rich history and culture behind every spot you visit.

Your first destination is the captivating Reed Flute Cave. Tucked away in the karst terrain, this underground marvel is a feast for the eyes. Step inside, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by a landscape that feels out of this world—nature’s own artwork. Stalagmites push up from the ground, stalactites dangle from the ceiling, and stone columns, curtains, and flower-shaped formations create a surreal setting. Eco-friendly neon lights highlight the cave’s beauty, bringing out intricate details and bright hues. What adds to its charm is the presence of ancient Tang Dynasty murals and inscriptions, over 1,300 years old. These relics let you peek into the past as you wander through this natural masterpiece.

Next up is the famous Elephant Trunk Hill, one of Guilin’s most iconic landmarks. The second you see it, you’ll know how it got its name—it looks exactly like an elephant lowering its trunk to drink from the Li River. But the hill’s appeal isn’t just about its unique shape; it’s also steeped in local myths and legends, which add a sense of mystery and magic. Surrounded by lovely scenery, Elephant Trunk Hill is perfect for taking stunning photos and soaking in the beauty of Guilin’s natural landscape.

Later, you’ll go on a scenic river cruise—an experience you can’t miss in Guilin. You’ll glide along the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, a key part of the city’s scenic identity and a major draw for tourists. As you drift slowly on the water, you’ll be treated to wide, unobstructed views of Guilin’s famous mountains, traditional buildings, and dense greenery. During the cruise, you’ll also get to enjoy a delicious local lunch, tasting Guilin’s cuisine—known for its unique mix of spices and fresh ingredients.

As the day comes to an end, your guide will go with you back to the train station for your return bullet train trip to Guangzhou. Once you’re back in Guangzhou, you can head back to your hotel at your own speed, carrying with you unforgettable memories of your day in the charming city of Guilin.
