Présentation

En quoi consiste ce voyage

Most Guilin programmes put the river into one four-hour cruise and give the rest of the time to Yangshuo's shops. This one walks the old bank from Laocuntou to Lengshui village, takes a quiet electric raft through the Xingping–Mashan stretch the 20-yuan note was painted from, and sleeps in Xingping instead of driving back to the city. Day three is the countryside side of the same landscape — the Yulong River by e-bike, and the Li River's great bend from the top of Xianggong Mountain.

Jour par jour

  1. 1

    Jour 1 — Arrive Guilin: Elephant Trunk Hill and the four lakes

    Met on arrival and into the city · Elephant Trunk Hill, the city emblem, where the trunk and its reflection close into a full moon — the cave Xu Xiake rated the finest on the Li River · The Puxian pagoda on the summit, Tibetan form on a Han hill · Optionally a fifteen-minute bamboo raft for the close view of Water Moon Cave · After dark, the Four Lakes cruise through eighteen bridges on the Tang and Song moat, past the Sun and Moon pagodas — at 42 m and 350 tonnes of cast copper, the taller of the two is the tallest copper tower in the world.

  2. 2

    Jour 2 — Li River: the bank on foot, then the raft to Mashan

    Walk the old riverbank from Laocuntou to Lengshui village, the stretch Xu Xiake covered — field paths, an old ferry crossing and the Qinglong spring, with Nine Horses Painting Mountain on the far bank · The villagers are descendants of Hunan settlers and will tell you the story · Afternoon on a near-silent electric bamboo raft from Xingping down to Mashan, through the Yellow Cloth reflection on the back of the 20-yuan note and past Xingping fishing village · Out again at dusk for the cormorant rafts on the water · Night in Xingping.

  3. 3

    Jour 3 — Yulong River by bike, Xianggong Mountain, then the station

    E-bike the Ten-Mile Gallery through the rice and the phoenix-tail bamboo to the thousand-year banyan of the Liu Sanjie song fair · Field lanes to Shuierdi pier, running alongside the Yulong raft line · Fifteen minutes up Xianggong Mountain for the 360° platform over the river's great bend, at its best while the mist is still in the peaks · A set of China Post's 2022 “Guilin Karst” stamps for each family · Transfer to Guilin West station, about an hour and a half.

Notes opérationnelles

Ce qu'il vaut mieux soulever avant de chiffrer, pas après.

  • The raft runs Xingping to Mashan, not the full cruise route. In low water, roughly January to March, the operator shortens it or substitutes a boat — we flag which before you quote.
  • The riverbank walk is a half-day on uneven field paths and shingle. It is exactly what separates this from a cruise-deck itinerary, so say so and check mobility before you sell it.
  • Bamboo rafts carry a per-raft passenger limit and stop running in high wind or heavy rain. The covered alternative is not the same day.
  • Sample itinerary. Dates, hotel ladder and net rates are quoted against your brief.
