Day 3 Guilin - Xianggong Hill - Xingping - Yangshuo

We will transfer you to Xianggong Hill from where your Li River hiking begins. Today's arrangement is full of interests. You will hike and take ferry boat in turns and pass several ferries and villages to reach Yangshuo finally. You will have an immersed sense by visiting the essence of the Li River and the local villages. Without doubt, the itinerary will lead you to the dreamy rural scenery where you can indulge yourself in the blue sky and crystal water. After visiting all of the highlights along the Li River, you will reach Xingping where our driver is waiting for you. Xingping is an ancient fishing village with tranquil atmosphere, modest streets, and the unsophisticated and warmhearted villagers. You may walk along the stone walkway which is covered with emerald moss to get close to the simple folkway. After that, we will drive you to Yangshuo and the guide will help you check in the hotel. You may explore the West Street and choose a good restaurant to have dinner by yourself.

Meals: Western buffet breakfast, Lunch

Day 4 Yangshuo

We will transfer you to get close to the rural life - the villagers working in the fields with their buffalos and pieces of green rice paddies are in front of your eyes.

Afterwards, take a hiking trip along the Yulong River for about three to four hours.

Meals: Western buffet breakfast, Lunch
