Witnessing the lifestyle of the villagers will make you feel as though you have traveled back in time by several hundred years.

Next, you'll visit a rebuilt village name Dong Li Ancient Village, which is near the mountains and nearby an important tributary (Chao Tian River) of the Li River. This village preserves the old dwellings style of Northen Guangxi.

Visit the most famous cave in Guilin — Reed Flute Cave. It is called a “natural art museum” due to the numerous beautiful stalactites and stalagmites inside it.

The two rivers in the name relate to Guilin’s two major rivers running through the city: the Li River and the Peach Blossom River.
