Guilin, China

Why Walk Guilin

Guilin and its surrounding countryside offer some of China's most spectacular walking scenery. The city itself sits along the Li River with limestone karst peaks rising directly from the landscape. Elephant Trunk Hill is the city's most iconic landmark, while the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area provides an illuminated evening walk through the center. The nearby town of Yangshuo is a base for exploring the karst countryside by foot or bicycle, with the scenic Yulong River area offering bamboo raft rides and quiet village walks. The Longji Rice Terraces, carved into mountainsides over 600 years, provide stunning hiking with views that change dramatically with the seasons. Reed Flute Cave showcases an otherworldly underground world of illuminated stalactites and stalagmites.
