Li River cruise, Yulong bamboo rafts, cycling karst lanes and Xingping sunsets
Five active-but-easy days around Guilin and Yangshuo: the Li River cruise to Xingping's ¥20-banknote bend, bamboo-raft drifting on the Yulong, cycling the moon-lit karst lanes, the West Street cafe scene and a morning walk above the Longji terraces before flying out.
Fly into Liangjiang (KWL) or arrive by HSR. Evening lakeside walk of the Two Rivers circuit past the sun-and-moon pagodas.
Morning boat from Zhujiang wharf down to Yangshuo: villages, cormorant fishermen and the peaks of the ¥20 note. Drop bags in Yangshuo for a West Street evening.
Morning bamboo raft below the dragon-bridge weir, afternoon cycling the Yulong village loop; sunset on the river bank.
Bus to Xingping for the banknote-bend viewpoint, or ride the loop around the Laozhai hill; evening fish-beer dinner on the water.
Early bus to the Longji terraces' Ping'an village for the layered stair views before the two-hour transfer back to Guilin airport (KWL).
