DAY2 Photographic Paradise: Magnificent Longji【Long Hair Yao Beauty - Terraced Fields Scenic Qixing Ban Yue - Rare Scenery of Jiulong Wuhu】- Stay in Guilin Without Moving

Rest for a night and enjoy a buffet breakfast

Take a ride to Longji Rice Terraces via the highway, ensuring a safer and faster journey, reducing your travel fatigue, and enhancing your comfort during the trip.

Huang Luoyao Village is located within the Longji Scenic Area, where the Jinjian River flows through the village, creating a picturesque landscape. The village is inhabited entirely by the Red Yao ethnic group, who have a traditional custom of letting their hair grow long. Their long hair, songs and dances, and traditional Red Yao attire have become vibrant elements of the local folk culture.

Visiting the Longji Rice Terraces, Ping'an Village is a classic destination. This area was developed for tourism relatively early, and the facilities for eating, drinking, and entertainment are more complete. There are 170 households with a population of over 700, predominantly a Zhuang ethnic village, mostly inhabited by families with the surname Liao. The terraces are composed of small plots, offering a quiet and beautiful landscape. In autumn, when the crops are ripe, the scenery transforms into a golden sea, and the autumn rice terraces are exceptionally beautiful. The viewing platforms in the scenic area are primarily "Qixing Banyue" (Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon) and "Jiulong Wuhux" (Nine Dragons and Five Tigers), but it requires some imagination to enjoy them. "Qixing Banyue" refers to the seven small hills left from the farming year that look like seven little stars accompanying the moon-like terraces. "Jiulong Wuhux" indicates the nine small ridges branching out from the main ridge of Longji, while five slightly prominent hills resemble five tigers, surrounding and guarding this land.

【VIP Treatment - Li River Star Ferry, Upper Deck Seating, 4.5h Tour of the Grand Li River~】 (Amazing Views, Close-Up of Mountains and Rivers)

The green water ripples and the blue mountains greet us; a slight cloudy day with thin mist lingering on the mountain tops, everywhere is a scenic view, ready to be captured in a painting. A sightseeing boat glides on the river, accompanied by a bamboo raft with four onlookers beside it. The people on the boat wave in greeting, and those on the raft cheer in response, enjoying the journey together along the river, each witnessing the wonders in harmony.

The elementary school Chinese textbook has a passage titled "Guilin's Scenery Tops the World," referring to a tour of the Li River. The peaks on both sides of the Li River are majestic and towering, with various shapes, embodying the essence of Guilin's scenery. "A hundred miles of the Li River, a hundred miles of gallery," every scene is a typical Chinese ink painting. The Li River scenic area features green peaks flanking the river, clear waters winding around, canyons and cliffs, cascading waterfalls, green oases and perilous shoals, beautiful caves and stones, presenting countless landscapes, with dozens of well-known attractions distributed along the river.

Yinzi Cave is a typical karst landform, with the entire cave running through twelve mountain peaks, gathering stalactites from different geological eras, resembling the Milky Way slanting down from the night sky, shimmering with a silver-like glow. The saying that "visiting Yinzi Cave ensures a lifetime of wealth" has also attracted many tourists eager to explore.

The large-scale landscape immersive performance "Impression Liu Sanjie" is directed by renowned directors Zhang Yimou, Wang Chaoge, and Fan Yue, with national playwright Mei Shuaiyuan as the chief planner. It encompasses the landscape of the Li River, the cultural diversity of Guangxi's ethnic minorities, and the creations of elite Chinese artists. It is the first new concept of a "landscape immersive performance" in the country, pioneering the way for large-scale immersive performances in China and becoming a model for the successful operation of the domestic cultural industry.

DAY4Yangshuo Half-Day Leisure Tour【Relaxing Bamboo Rafting on the Yulong River + Free Time by the Riverside】

Wake up from sweet dreams and enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast

Drifting is the recommended way to enjoy the Yulong River. Riding a bamboo raft on the Yulong River, the scenery on both sides is picturesque and very enjoyable. Sitting on the slow-moving bamboo raft, you can see the rolling mountains and pastoral landscapes on both banks. Along the way, you will also pass small towns and many ancient bridges, with a clear river surface below, creating a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

The Yulong River drift has 6 docks along the way, listed in order as follows: Jinlong Bridge Dock, Yulong Bridge Dock, Jiuxian Dock, Jima Dock, Shui'edi Dock, and Wanjing Dock.

After the tour, you will have free time by the banks of the Yulong River. You can choose to rent a bicycle at your own expense for a cycling experience, or you can hike to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the Yulong River, allowing enough time for you to take photos.

Yulong River is a tributary of the Li River located in Yangshuo. The water is crystal clear, making it easy to capture picturesque photos resembling traditional Chinese landscape paintings. Compared to the scenery of the Li River, Yulong River offers a more gentle landscape and is often referred to as the "Little Li River."
