Guilin

Guilin lies along the Lijiang River and is home to a treasure trove of astounding natural landscapes and some of the most dramatic geographical formations in China. One such place is the 180 million-year-old Reed Flute Cave filled with karst stalactites and multicolored lighting, creating an otherworldly environment.

The wonder doesn't stop there: see how the reflection of the moon accentuates the Elephant Trunk Hill's famous arch above water, explore the lush stretch of the Longsheng Rice Terrace, and gaze upon the Sun and Moon Pagodas – twin structures of illuminating beauty at night.
