The ultimate, tried-and-tested itinerary is here! It seamlessly connects Guihai Qinglan + Guilin city + all must-visit spots in Yangshuo. Transportation is worry-free, pitfalls are avoided, and you can enjoy your trip without staying up late to plan👇
📍Recommended route
Day 1 Guihai Qinglan for great photos → Guilin city for food and sightseeing → Day 2 Xingping CNY 20 backdrop photo op → Xianggong Mountain → Yulong River bamboo raft → Day 3 Ten-Mile Gallery → Yangshuo West Street
🚗Transportation
· Guilin city → Guihai Qinglan: A 20-minute taxi ride from the city center, costing about CNY 15–25, is the most worry-free option.
· Guilin – Yangshuo: Take the 40-minute high-speed train from Guilin Station to Yangshuo Station, then transfer to a bus to the county town. Avoid unlicensed taxis at the station.
· In Yangshuo, renting an e-bike for CNY 30–50/day is a must for convenient travel.
· Xianggong Mountain: Carpooling, chartering a car, or self-driving is recommended. From Xingping, you can take a CNY 5 ferry + sightseeing bus up the mountain.
🏞️Attraction tips
✅Guihai Qinglan
Known as "Guilin's Little Switzerland"! 3,600 mu of grassland is surrounded by karst peaks, with lakes reflecting the mountains—the healing vibes are off the charts. Best time to visit is 8:00 AM or 4:00 PM. Tickets are CNY 35, and 2–3 hours is enough for a visit.
✅Guilin city
No need to rush around! After returning from Guihai Qinglan, stroll through Dongxi Alley for Guilin food, enjoy the night view of Two Rivers and Four Lakes, and just view Elephant Trunk Hill from a distance. It's all about a relaxed pace.
✅CNY 20 backdrop photo op
Navigate directly to "CNY 20 Viewing Platform." This free spot faces the exact same scenery. On a sunny day, hold up a banknote for a comparison shot—it looks amazing.
✅Xianggong Mountain
Climb to the top to overlook the first bay of the Li River. The layered karst peaks look like an unfolded ink painting! For sunrise, we recommend carpooling and leaving in the early morning. It's less crowded and beautiful, and it's legendary during the sea-of-clouds season.
✅Yulong River bamboo raft (must-do)
Choose the Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian highlight section! One raft seats two people; solo travelers can share a raft.
✅Ten-Mile Gallery
Just take it slow on an e-bike! The rice paddies, karst peaks, and streams along the way form a painting, and the sunset at Gongnong Bridge is stunning. We recommend leaving after 4:00 PM to avoid the harsh sun.
✅Yangshuo West Street
Go at night! It's just an ordinary commercial street during the day.
❌Hard-learned tips to avoid pitfalls
1. For bamboo rafts, choose Jinlong Bridge.
2. Don't trust low-priced one-day tours; they are traps.
3. When renting an e-bike, take photos of the whole vehicle to check for damage and check the battery level to avoid being scammed for scratch fees when returning it.
4. Don't just walk into any bar or travel photography shop on West Street. Ask about prices clearly to avoid hidden costs.
6. The timed electric carts at Guihai Qinglan are expensive. The CNY 30 per person sightseeing bus or walking is more cost-effective. The pet park requires a separate ticket; buy it only if you need it.
The right way to experience Guilin and Yangshuo is never about rushing between attractions. Strolling slowly through the landscapes and enjoying the food is the only way to do justice to this world-class scenery. Save this guide, and you can avoid all the pitfalls even on your first visit~
