On this adventure, we'll also get to enjoy the sights & sounds of 2 beautiful cities as well ie. XIAMEN & FUZHOU during our transit stop!

Our scenic breathtaking adventure begins in Guilin, a city renowned for its picturesque scenery. From there, we journey to the peaceful Quanjiazhou Village and set off on an unforgettable picturesque hike along the Li River.

Meander through quiet paths and rolling hills with panoramic views that lead to Xingping — home to the stunning Jiumahua Shan or “Nine Horse Painting Hill” and the image on China’s 20 Yuan note. This immersive hike from 2hrs to 4hrs (doable for most fit hikers) offers one of the most scenic hiking experiences in all of China. Thereafter, we'll hop on a bamboo or pipe raft that will ferry us across the picturesque Li River for a thrilling ride. Continue our riverside hike for another 1.5 hours (5 km/3 miles) to arrive at Xingping, which boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in the area.

On this adventure, we'll also get to explore the tranquil countryside of Yangshuo by bicycle, gliding past rice paddies, ancient banyan trees, Moon Hill, and charming rural villages along the Yulong River. With cool October weather and minimal crowds, this is the perfect time to soak in the peaceful charm of the region at your own pace and enjoy the autumn foliage.

Other Guilin’s famous natural landmarks that we'll beexploring includes— the Reed Flute Cave, Elephant Trunk Hill, and Fubo Hill etc. — each offering stunning photo opportunities and a chance to reflect on your adventure.

This picturesque 6-Day adventure is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and those who crave authentic off-the-beaten-path experiences combined with serene landscapes, cultural charm, modern city architecture wonders and a touch of rural adventure.

Whether you're hiking riverside trails or cycling through countryside backroads, this trip promises you memories that you will remember for a lifetime.

GUILIN and YANGSHOU are famed for their wallpaper photos of surreal karst mountains, mirror-like rivers, and timeless rural charm. In autumn, the landscape transforms into a golden wonderland — clear skies, crisp air, and soft sunlight enhance the dramatic scenery. It’s the perfect season for hiking, biking, and river walks amid rice fields turning gold and hills wrapped in mist. With fewer crowds and ideal weather, autumn offers the most photogenic and peaceful experience of Guilin’s natural beauty. Whether cruising the Li River or cycling through the Yulong Valley, every turn reveals a postcard-perfect view.

XIAMEN is a charming coastal city known for its colonial-era Gulangyu Island, scenic seaside walks, and rich Minnan culture. With its tree-lined streets, vibrant art villages, and mouthwatering seafood, Xiamen offers the perfect blend of history, nature, and local flavor — ideal for a relaxing and enriching stopover.
