Guangxi Travel Routes

Guilin · Li River · Yangshuo · Longji Terraced Fields

The core of Guangxi is the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo: 4 days to see the water, 6 days including the Longji Rice Terraces, 8 days to go further south to Beihai Silver Beach.

Provincial Routes and Cities

Guangxi offers the most quintessential Karst scenery in China: the Li River stretches 83 kilometers from Guilin to Yangshuo, the Longji Terraces reach their peak twice a year—once when irrigated in May and again when golden in September—and in the south, Beihai and Weizhou Island are the concluding sea destinations. This site organizes Guangxi into 4 days of highlights and 6 days for a deeper experience.

How to Plan a Route in Guangxi

We break Guangxi into 3 ready-made routes, covering short, medium, and long durations. Routes within the same province can be freely combined: if time is tight, take the shortest; if you want a deeper experience, connect two routes.

Pre-Trip Reminders

  • Popular attractions (Forbidden City, Mogao Caves, Jiuzhaigou, Zhangjiajie, etc.) have real-name entry limits, so it is recommended to book 15–30 days in advance.
  • High-speed rail tickets go on sale 15 days before departure; on peak season days, they sell out on the first day, so be sure to set a reminder.
  • High-altitude routes (Tibet, Qinghai, Western Sichuan) require a health statement; it is recommended to take Rhodiola 7 days in advance.
  • For seniors over 60 and children under 1.2 meters, please note when booking, as ticket prices and bed arrangements are different.
  • All itineraries can be adjusted according to month, duration, and companions; see "Custom Itinerary" for details.
