FLEXIBLE ROUTE IDEA
Guilin — Yangshuo · 5 days
The route begins with Guilin's river city and then slows down among Yangshuo's karst peaks, Yulong River paths and working villages.
This is a planning framework, not a fixed group tour. Stops, transport and daily pace can all be changed.

Suggested route rhythm
The day ranges below show a comfortable starting rhythm. Exact trains, flights and driving time are arranged after your dates are confirmed.
Main interests
- Days 1–2
Guilin
Use Guilin as the river-city gateway, with karst viewpoints and a measured transition toward Yangshuo.
Continue to: Yangshuo · Li River cruise or private car
- Days 3–5
Yangshuo
Slow down for the Yulong River, village lanes, field paths and weather-dependent cycling, walking or boat time.
Arrival and departure
Arrive through Guilin, then continue to Yangshuo by Li River cruise or road transfer. For departure, allow roughly two hours back to Guilin airport or rail station, or use Yangshuo station only after checking its out-of-town transfer.
Why this route works
Yangshuo receives more time because weather, river conditions and countryside light matter; boat, cycling and walking options remain interchangeable.
