Amazing scenic hike

Thomas_W, Apr 2026

Perfect balanced day. Smooth transport with pickup and drop off from our hotel in Guilin, excellent English speaking driver/guide, a stop off halfway at a tea plantation to pick some tea (this was a great experience) and learn about how the different types of Chinese tea are made, even getting to try a few. A quick stop off to walk through the Zhao village (this was long enough) and then the highlight of the day: a hike through the Ping'An village (where we also ate lunch at the end) and up through the Longji Rice Terraces. The hike is a loop taking about 2.5 hours at a leisurely pace with stops for photos. There are toilets on route and it is very well signposted. We appreciated being able to do the hike by ourselves without a guide. The views of the rice terraces are wonderful and the Ping'An village was so interesting to walk through. Highly recommend doing it this way. We also talked to some fellow European tourists there who had made their own way to the terraces (bus/taxi) and were stuck with no way of getting back to Guilin, so this highlighted the importance of booking a tour like this.

Buy this experience because it was in English. Completely worth it! Our guide Andy was so nice with us and showed us everything we had to see and also drove us to a typical restaurant on our way back. Even if it was so crowded, he made the tour in the opposite direction of the rest of the tourists so it was almost empty (perfect photos).

Unmissable excursion if you are in Guilin

Great excursion full of beautiful landscapes. The rice terraces are truly something you can’t miss while in Guilin. The trip included pick up from the hotel. Our guide Hill was really good and helped constantly to facilitate tickets, orderings and payments. Pleasant cable car to the top of the mountain and a visit to a traditional village where ladies never cut their hair. The show in the traditional village, entry to the park, cable car and lunch are not included in the price so that’s something you should consider (about 350 yuans more).

Our driver and guide Colin was very kind to us. He took us to the rice terraces and upon returning to Guilin we also passed a tea plantation. Highly recommended to go spend the day.

Fantástica experiência

Alberto_Z, Sept 2024

Passeio imperdível para quem vai até a China. Os campos de arroz são uma verdadeira obra de arte. Além disso, conhecer as minorias étnicas também é uma grande experiência. O motorista foi muito atencioso, cordial e pontual, excelente experiência.
