If you want to see those postcard-perfect Chinese landscapes—endless karst hills, emerald rivers, and serene rice terraces—then Guilin and Yangshuo are the places to go. We spent three unforgettable days there, and here’s our tried-and-true itinerary and tips. First, the logistics! How to get there by train from Hong Kong It’s easier than it seems! We took the high-speed train from West Kowloon Station in Hong Kong. The journey to Guilin takes about 3 hours. The key is to buy tickets online in advance (foreigners can only use Trip.com) because popular routes sell out quickly. Great news for Russians: no visa is required for stays up to 30 days! The train itself is incredibly comfortable and clean, and the three hours fly by as you watch the changing scenery outside. You can also reach Guilin by train from other Chinese cities or directly by plane. Payments and communication: Don’t worry! Money: Alipay is widely accepted and can be linked to a foreign card. Cash is also used, but it’s good to have small bills for markets and minor purchases. Communication: English is rarely spoken. WeChat with its built-in translator was a lifesaver—just send a voice or text message, and it translates. It’s also helpful to learn a few key phrases before your trip: “hello” (ni hao), “thank you” (xie xie), “how much does it cost?” (duo shao qian). It’s easy to learn these in an evening, and locals really appreciate it! A personal driver is the best investment! We pre-booked a car with a driver for the entire second day (transfer from Guilin to Yangshuo with stops at attractions). It’s not too expensive if you split the cost among a group, and you get complete freedom of movement. The driver takes you right to the entrance, waits for you, and then drives you to the next stop on your itinerary. It’s much more convenient and faster than public transport. Day 1: The Magic of Guilin We stayed at a hotel complex right in the Shanhu Lake area (Swissotel), which was within walking distance of all the key spots. Reed Flute Cave Our first encounter with Guilin’s underground world. The cave is massive, and the colorful lighting turns the stalactites and stalagmites into a surreal show. Tip: Don’t allocate more than an hour for this. It’s enough to soak in the atmosphere without getting tired of the crowds. Sun and Moon Pagodas This is the city’s iconic landmark, located on the lake. The special feature of this place is its history: the Golden (Sun) and Silver (Moon) Pagodas were built during the Tang Dynasty to bring prosperity to the city. There’s even an underwater tunnel connecting them! The best time to visit is in the evening. When the lights come on, the pagodas reflect in the water, creating an incredibly romantic and photogenic scene. Day 2: Journey to Yangshuo and the Power of Nature Our driver picked us up from the hotel in the morning, and we set off. Rui Jin Peak and Cable Car This is one of the highest points in the region! The peak stands about 780 meters above sea level, and the cable car stretches over 1,500 meters. The ascent takes about 20 minutes, and the 360-degree view from the top is breathtaking.

After watching the Eternal Love in Yangshuo, I took a taxi directly from Yangshuo to Xingping Ancient Town. It was already 7:30 PM when I arrived. I had a quick bite and then took a taxi to the pier to participate in the Osprey Fishing event. It was super fun, very unique, and very interesting. I highly recommend it! 👍 After returning, I showered and went to bed. The next day, I went on a Li River cruise. A taxi cost 20 yuan. (Background image)
