Day1 Guilin — Li River karst
Touch down and just breathe — no rush today. Guilin is a soft landing, and your guide spends day one quietly working out your rhythm so the whole trip bends around you, not some script.

Day2 Guilin — Li River karst
Slow start or early one, totally your call. Reed Flute Cave is roughly the heart of today, and we leave plenty of breathing room so nothing feels rushed. Food-wise, hold out for Guilin rice noodles — worth it. And here’s the bit that’s properly ours: Zhuang and Yao folk song and Liu Sanjie tradition. Most tours can’t get you in the room — we can.

We’ll build today loosely around the Longji terraces at Ping An and Jinkeng, at your pace and nobody else’s. Expect a small surprise or two your guide pulls out depending on the day. bamboo-tube rice sorts the eating.

Day4 Longji — Longji rice terraces
Today’s the kind you’ll be showing people photos of later — a Zhuang and Yao village walk, with the freedom to slow right down whenever something catches your eye. Lunch or dinner usually circles back to bamboo-tube rice. And here’s the bit that’s properly ours: Red Yao long-hair custom and Zhuang brocade weaving with villagers. Most tours can’t get you in the room — we can.

Day5 Yangshuo — Yulong River & karst countryside
Ease into a Yulong River bamboo raft today. Nothing’s rigid — your guide flexes things around the weather and how you’re feeling, so it stays comfortable start to finish. And beer fish is exactly what you’ll want when hunger hits.

Day6 Yangshuo — Yulong River & karst countryside
Honestly, this is one of those days people bring up for years. We’ll point you at cycling the karst back-lanes — and since it’s all yours, you linger where it grabs you and wander off when you’re ready. Somewhere in there, beer fish, the kind locals actually line up for, not the tourist version. And here’s the bit that’s properly ours: cormorant fishing and Zhuang indigo craft with a fisher family. Most tours can’t get you in the room — we can.
