—Itinerary Introduction—

• Trip duration: 1 day

Guilin -- Elephant Trunk Hill -- Diecai Hill -- Reed Flute Cave -- Royal City -- East-West Alley/Xiaoyao Tower

• 8:30 Depart from the hotel for a 40-minute visit to Elephant Trunk Hill, the emblem of Guilin. Located at the confluence of the Li River and the Peach Blossom River, Elephant Trunk Hill resembles a giant elephant drinking water from its trunk, and is considered a symbol of Guilin's landscape. The Ming Dynasty Puxian Pagoda atop the hill resembles the hilt of a sword, and the Water Moon Cave between the elephant's trunk and legs creates the spectacular "Elephant Hill and Water Moon" scenery. The cave contains over fifty cliff carvings, precious relics of poems and writings praising Guilin by scholars throughout history.

• Visit the Diecai Mountain Scenic Area (approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes). Diecai Mountain consists of Siwang Mountain, Yuyue Mountain, and the two peaks of Mingyue and Xianhe. The mountain's rocks are layered and horizontal, resembling stacked brocade, hence its name. A wind tunnel runs north-south through the mountain. Climbing to the top of Mingyue Peak offers a 360-degree panoramic view of Guilin, with the Li River flowing around it, providing a breathtaking view of the city. It has been a popular spot for scenic climbing since ancient times.

• Visit the Reed Flute Cave scenic area (approximately 1 hour). Reed Flute Cave is a karst cave masterpiece, named for the reeds at its entrance that can be used to make flutes. Inside, stalactites and stalagmites create a dazzling array of fantastical landscapes such as "Lion Ridge at Dawn" and "Crystal Palace." Having undergone thousands of years of geological sculpting, it is hailed as a "Palace of Natural Art" and has hosted over a hundred heads of state from home and abroad, making it a shining pearl among Guilin's karst caves.

• The Wangcheng Scenic Area (approximately 1 hour 50 minutes), the former residence of the Ming Dynasty Prince of Jingjiang, is where the famous saying "Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven" originated from the cliff face of Duxiu Peak. Wangcheng was the residence of Zhu Shouqian, a grand-nephew of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. Centered around Duxiu Peak, known as the "Pillar of the South," the city features bluestone paths, ancient trees, and well-preserved city walls and Chengyun Gate, telling the story of the princely life over six hundred years. It is a microcosm of Guilin's history and culture.

• Enjoy a leisurely stroll through East-West Alley and Xiaoyao Tower (approximately 1 hour). East-West Alley is the only remaining historical street in Guilin from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Climbing Xiaoyao Tower offers panoramic views of the Li River and the city skyline. East-West Alley retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with shops lining both sides of the cobblestone streets, where traditional time-honored brands and modern cultural and creative products coexist harmoniously. Xiaoyao Tower was first built in the Tang Dynasty. From the tower, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful Li River and the cityscape of Guilin, experiencing the perfect fusion of history and modernity.

• We will take you back to the hotel at 5:00 PM.

*Hotel pick-up and drop-off area: Guilin, from Qixing Wanda Plaza in the east to MixC in the west, from Wayaoyao in the south to Beiji Square in the north.
