The scenery of Guilin has been called “the most magnificent under heaven.” It is famous for the verdant beauty of nearby mountains, elegant waterways, magnificent crags and fantastic caverns.

With the airport pick-up, we are on to the symbolic centre of the city, Elephant Hill. Resembling an elephant drinking water through its trunk, this monolithic hill is approximately 3.5 million years old, with stairs to climb for a bird's eye view of Guilin.

At Fubo Hill, you will stroll along the pathways to see intricate carvings and stone Buddhas dating back to the Tang Dynasty.

Then it is on to Reed Flute Cave, where nature has sculpted the “Palace of Natural Arts”, beautiful stalactite and stalagmite formations.
