Guilin & Yangshuo
Karst mountains rising from jade rivers like a scroll painting come to life.
The Li River landscape has inspired Chinese painters and poets for over a thousand years. Limestone karst peaks pierce the mist, cormorant fishermen cast their nets at dawn, and rice paddies glow emerald between the towers of stone. Yangshuo offers the intimate counterpoint, cycling through villages where life moves at the pace of the river.
We also reach the Xingping river bend of the 20-yuan note, Elephant Trunk Hill, and the Reed Flute Cave, arriving via Guilin (KWL).
