Itinerary Quick Look
Guilin to Yangshuo Full-Day Private Tour
1. Li River Cruise Adventure
Kick off your day at 8:00 am, where your private English-speaking guide and driver will greet you right at your hotel lobby. Hop aboard your comfortable vehicle and head straight to Zhujiang Pier—the starting point of your unforgettable Li River cruise to Yangshuo.
Often hailed as the crown jewel of Guilin travel, the Li River cruise treats you to a front-row seat to nature’s masterpiece: towering karst peaks rising abruptly from crystal-clear waters, lush pastoral villages dotting the banks, and scenery that looks like it’s been lifted straight from a traditional Chinese scroll painting. The river is divided into three distinct sections, and every peak and village along the way has a whimsical, descriptive name—let your imagination run wild as you spot their likenesses! As you glide along, your guide will regale you with enchanting fairy tales and romantic love stories tied to these landmarks, turning the scenery into a living storybook.
The cruise lasts approximately 3.5–4 hours (duration varies with water conditions). Midway, you’ll sail through Xingping—a highlight where the Li River takes a graceful bend, creating postcard-perfect scenery. This very view is immortalized on the back of China’s 20 RMB banknote and has inspired countless landscape painters. A renowned photographer once said: “Shots from any perspective for this place turn to be impressive and stunning.” Savor a simple yet tasty lunch on board as you soak in the views.
- One-sentence History Summary: The Li River’s scenic stretch has been celebrated as a natural wonder since ancient times, with its karst landscapes inspiring poets and artists for over a thousand years.
2. West Street Exploration
Arrive in Yangshuo by 1:30 pm, then follow your guide to West Street—the vibrant heart of the town. Wander along the bustling pedestrian street lined with a colorful mix of shops: handcrafted souvenir stalls, traditional painting and calligraphy stores, trendy backpacker boutiques, and cozy cafes. Whether you’re hunting for unique gifts or just want to soak up the lively atmosphere, your guide will be on hand to help you haggle for the best prices if you decide to buy something special.
- One-sentence History Summary: West Street has been a thriving commercial and cultural hub in Yangshuo for over 1,400 years, evolving from an ancient trading post to a beloved spot for travelers worldwide.
3. Silver Cave & Moon Hill Highlights
Next, hop back into your private air-conditioned vehicle for a 30-minute drive to Silver Cave (feel free to skip this stop and suggest other Yangshuo spots to your guide if you prefer). Step into this underground wonderland, and you’ll be greeted by a dazzling display of China’s classic karst cave scenery. Countless crystal-clear stalactites hang from the cave ceiling like stars cascading from the Milky Way, and the cave’s majestic, otherworldly rock formations make it a standout example of karst landscapes globally. Follow your guide to explore 28 incredible scenic spots inside, including the famous “The Three Wonders” and “The Three Treasures” that showcase the cave’s natural beauty.
- One-sentence History Summary: Formed over 100 million years through water erosion, Silver Cave has been a popular natural attraction since its development as a scenic spot in the 1990s.
On the way back, you’ll pass by Moon Hill—a distinctive karst peak with a large, moon-shaped hole piercing its center. Just let your guide know if you want to pull over for a quick photo op to capture this iconic landmark. Enjoy the rolling countryside views along the drive, with green fields and charming villages stretching as far as the eye can see.
At the end of the tour, you can choose to stay and explore more of Yangshuo on your own, or hop back in the vehicle for a comfortable ride back to Guilin.
