In the morning, be transferred with our bicycles outside the crowded Guilin city and drives about one hour. We start our cycling into countryside directly and avoid the traffic, passing through quiet villages and small forest; we cycle into the perfect concrete roads built between local famer’s rice fields, surrounded by Karst scenery and small rivers.

Passing by the old street of local villages, we will witness the big changes between life nowadays and in the past. We enjoy biking on the perfect roads and will have enough time for rest and taking photos. In the afternoon, visit the famous Yulong Bridge and Yulong River, riders can enjoy an optional real bamboo rafting there for about 30 minutes. Then we continue our bike trip and arrive Yangshuo from simple paved road, surrounded by peticular views around Guilin and Yangshuo.

Your luggage will be delivered to your hotel at similar time when we finish our cycling.

Option B is recommended to skilled riders in non-rainy days.

  

Also starting the tour on the van to the starting point of our cycling, getting into peaceful roads in the painting-alike countryside which is composed of flower garden, chickens, ducks and buffalos, we soon cycle into trails hidden among villages, feeling so intoxicated with how we can find such an silent world so easily.

We finish the first 1/3 tour without too much troubles although there are few short slopes on off-road. Save energy for the rest part of this tour as we are facing steep climbs on muddy roads and macadam, a mixture of road surface on paved or unpaved cycling. Awesome scenery but hard climbs, we will have chances seeing the pouch hill, the Nine-horses Fresco Hill, we have to conquer over many mountains and big climbs today at a total climbing up distances over 14KM.
