• Daxu Old Town - Explore Xiongcun, a village with a rich history spanning over 1,000 years. Once a bustling town, its prominence has waned over time. The former vibrancy has given way to charming old houses, moss-covered stone steps, and elderly residents who share the village’s ancient tales. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit a local family’s home and immerse themselves in their tranquil way of life. Observing the villagers’ lifestyle offers a glimpse into a bygone era, as if stepping back several centuries.

Next, explore the reconstructed Dong Li Ancient Village, nestled near the mountains and close to a significant tributary (Chao Tian River) of the Li River. This village maintains the traditional architectural style of Northern Guangxi. Visitors can witness various handicrafts, such as pressing oil with a flying hammer, weaving cotton cloth, forging iron, and wine-making. As urban development progresses, some of these crafts are becoming rare.

• Reed Flute Cave (Ludi Yan) - Time: 14:30-16:30

Discover the renowned Reed Flute Cave in Guilin, often referred to as a “natural art museum” due to its stunning stalactites and stalagmites.

Illuminated by colorful spotlights and casting fascinating shadows over the cave’s small pool, it resembles a magnificent Chinese painting. A karst cave of this magnitude and with such exquisite natural formations is a rare global phenomenon.

Reed Flute Cave has become a symbol of Guilin, attracting over 180 international dignitaries, including two former U.S. presidents, Nixon and Carter.

• Gunanmen - Time: 17:00-18:00

The “two rivers” refer to Guilin’s major rivers: the Li River and the Peach Blossom River. The “four lakes” denote the city’s main lakes: Ronghu (Banyan Lake), Shahu (Chinese Fir Lake), Guihu (Osmanthus Lake), and Mulonghu (Wood Dragon Lake). These rivers and lakes are interconnected in a circuit.
