Guilin

Guilin is one of China’s most attractive small cities thanks to its dramatic limestone karsts, the slow flow of the Li River, and the many osmanthus trees that line its streets and paths.

A jumping-off point for cruising the Li River, Guilin also boasts its own attractions. Most spectacular of these is the Reed Flute Cave, where vast underground caverns are adorned with dramatic limestone formations, all a well-established part of Guilin folklore.

In the evening, join your Travel Indochina tour leader for a stroll along the riverside night markets, sample some of Guilin’s exquisite local food, or cruise the Li to watch the fascinating practise of cormorant fishing.
