Itinerary

Guilin

Passing by

Meet your private driver and English-speaking guide at your downtown Guilin hotel, where they will help you load your luggage into the air-conditioned private car and briefly introduce the day’s itinerary and customization options before setting off.
Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangbishan)

one hour Admission included

Follow your guide to visit Elephant Trunk Hill first, Guilin’s iconic landmark shaped like an elephant drinking by the Li River. Your guide will take you to the best viewing spots, show you the Water Moon Cave under its "trunk", and share brief stories about the historical inscriptions here as you explore the scenic area together.

Elephant Trunk Hill is the landmark of Guilin. It has been a famous tourism destination since the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907). The hill looks like a giant elephant drinking water from the river.
Fubo Hill

one hour Admission included

Next, proceed to Fubo Hill, a famous karst hill by the Li River. With your guide’s accompaniment, you will appreciate its steep cliffs and ancient stone carvings, learn about the legendary "Fubo Sword" story, and enjoy the stunning panoramic views of the Li River and Guilin city from the hilltop.
Reed Flute Cave (Ludi Yan)

one hour Admission included

Then, head to Reed Flute Cave, known as the "Palace of Natural Art". Your guide will lead you through the underground cave, pointing out the unique shapes of colorful stalactites and stalagmites, and introducing the cave’s history and its connection to the classic *Journey to the West*.
Seven Star Park (Qixing Gongyuan)

one hour Admission included

After that, visit Seven Star Park, Guilin’s largest comprehensive park named after seven peaks like the Big Dipper. Your guide will take you to key spots, such as the ancient Seven Star Cave and cliff inscriptions, allowing you to enjoy the park’s lush greenery and rich cultural landscapes.
