Tour Itinerary
Day 1Arrival at Guilin (L, D)
Take a flight from Qingdao to Guilin by yourself. Upon your arrival, our local guide will pick you up at the airport and transfer you to the hotel. Then drive to visit the highlights in Guilin – Reed Flute Cave, Yao Mountain and West Hill. Reed Flute Cave is a brilliant cave marked on almost all travel itineraries. Yao Mountain is the highest hill (903.3 meters above sea level) in Guilin. It offers very different views in each season. You can easily get to the top of it by the 1,416 meters long cable car and get a wonderful view of the peaks and surrounds. West Hill is one of the most famous hills in Guilin. But it is always non-touristy and not like the other crowded scenic spots in the town. Lunch is in a good local restaurant where you will have a good chance to try Guilin cuisine. Return to your hotel in late afternoon. After fresh up, have dinner in a local restaurant and then walk along the lakes to enjoy the colorful city.
