Descriptions:
Li River - Li River is like shining pearl embedded in China's super-sized land. It is one of the most famous scenic areas in China. There is a saying that the beautiful scenery of limpid water and charming mountain in Guilin top outshine its counterparts in elsewhere China. The Li River scenery is the centerpiece of Guilin's stunning beauty. Li River is situated in the east of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It is a tributary of the Peal River. Li River is originated in Mao'er Mountain and meets Xijiang Tributary in Pingle. It is 43-kilometer long.
Yangshuo - Nestled amongst the incredible karst landscape on the west bank of the Li River, Yangshuo is a very picturesque and scenic small town attracting parades of package tourists from all over the world. It is an ideal place out of modern turmoil, providing enjoyment of cycling, taking off to countryside, climbing rock, exploring hills and karst caves, which are all popular outdoor strategies to have a wonderful break on holiday.Day 03Yangshuo

Transfer back to Guilin. Visit the Reed Flute Cave and the Elephant Trunk Hill. Then you will be transferred to the airport for your homeward flight.(B+L)
Descriptions:
Reed Flute Cave - The Reed Flute Cave has not been found until the year of 1959. In 1959, the information of the Reed Flute Cave was informed to the outside world by the villagers who lived around the cave. Through exploration and development, the cave was opened to tourists in 1962. Today, it has become a hot scenic spot famed for the karst cave and the countryside scenery. The features of the Reed Flute Cave are 'two mores' - more dips of water and more karst products such as stalagmites and stalactites.
Elephant Trunk Hill - The Elephant Trunk Hill was made up of the pure lime stones around 360 million years ago. It's a pearl among the natural tourist attractions of Guilin. In 1986, a park was established on the site of the Elephant Trunk Hill and named Xiangshan Park. The park shows you a perfect combination of natural landscape and places of historic figures and cultural heritage. The major scenic spots in the park include Water-Moon Cave, Elephant Eye Cave, Puxian Pagoda, Hongfeng Temple and the museum of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom site.

Are you interested in the dragon bone terrace fields and the minority groups in Longsheng? Apart from Guilin and Yangshuo, you would have only 1-2 free days left. You can only consider some nearby sites.

Can we also include the show on the Li River!

Do you mean the Sister Liu Impression? It is a great show but the availability depends on the weather condition by a large extent. If it is rainy, probably the show will be cancelled.

Yangshuo great cafe recommendations
Just wanted to write for those staying in Yangshuo anytime soon......
We stayed for 5 days recently and as people in our late 30''s, we''re not into the late night party scene. I say this because Yangshuo surprised us with it''s streets of bars that blast techno music and awful covers from live bands until about 2am every night. If you can find peace and quiet, consider yourself lucky.
In any case, we thankfully found that Gui Hua Road is great for eating outdoors in a relaxed, fairly peaceful place and that the Yak Cafe, run by Andrew Lay and his wife Sula, is FANTASTIC! We can''t recommend it enough, especially for a great western breakfast, or an afternoon coffee, tea, or beer. We never ate dinner there, but the menu looked great!
Andrew hails from Canada, and Sula from China. Andrew believes in and understands the meaning of great service and great food, and if you''ve been in China like we were for 6 weeks, great service in particular is hard to find. In fact, getting our meals served at the same time in China almost never happened, but Andrew understands this, and to hear his earnestness in wanting to have the best cafe in Yangshuo and his commitment is inspiring. Plus he''s just a neat guy to chat with. We immediately felt welcomed and cared for, and it was a pleasure to listen to his story of coming to China and starting the business with Sula. We left Yangshuo feeling a real pride in eating there each morning and supporting their business and I promised I would write a review to alert other travellers to give their great cafe a shot.
Also of note, Kelly''s Cafe just a few cafes down from the Yak, serves great Chinese food, and Kelly is likewise super friendly.
Enjoy your stay in Yangshuo. It is beautiful. Just bring earplugs!

One of the highlights of my family's trip to China was biking and rafting along the Yulong River in Yangshuo Village. We started off from the beautiful Yangshuo Mountain Retreat where we were staying, and rented mountain bikes. From there we rode through the villages, stopping along the way to take photos and ended up 20km up river an ancient stone bridge. Some of the local kids were jumping off the parapet, which looked to be about 10meters+, into the clear water below. My son got up the nerve and jumped too! We crossed the bridge and biked about half way back on the other side, but the road was really rough in places so we decided to get a couple of bamboo rafts. We were told not to pay more than 20 yuan per person. It took us almost an hour to get back to Yangshuo Mountain Retreat, where after a hot shower we had dinner outside under the stars. Perfect! I strongly recommend you to experience it by yourselves on the free day!

A trip to Guilin culminates in a cruise down the Li River. Sitting in a cruise ship, tourists can take in the picturisque view along the river. In spring the view is more attractive--clear water, pastoral fields,and mist-shrouded hills rising above ground. One thing you should be reminded, the cruise ships usually provide lunch for tourists. My personal experience told me that the food was terrible and they can not compare to the instant/canned food. You'd better bring some food beforehand and after your arrival in Yangshuo, you may find a local restautant for dinner.
