About the programme

This trip is a route through the south and center of China, where the urban rhythm of a megacity gives way to karst landscapes, rice terraces, river cruises and mountains familiar from cinema. Ten days and nine nights add up to an unhurried movement from Guangzhou through Guilin and Yangshuo to Fenghuang and Zhangjiajie, with a return to Guangzhou. The flight is not included, but within the route the program provides for both trains, and transfers, and boat trips.

The first two days are a contrast: modern Guangzhou with Huacheng Square and Yuexiu Park, and then a transfer to Guilin. Then nature takes over: the Longji Rice Terraces, a cruise on the Li River to Yangshuo, the karst Reed Flute Cave and a climb to Fubo Hill. Each day here has its own character — from a contemplative cruise to a walk along the narrow streets of the old town.

The middle of the route is Fenghuang, where time seems to slow down among bridges, temples and ancient houses. Here too are the Southern Great Wall and the Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center. Then Zhangjiajie: the Grand Canyon with a glass bridge, Baofeng Lake, the National Park with the Bailong Elevator and Jiankunzhu Mountain, the Tianzishan cable car and a walk along the Golden Whip Stream.

The trip is completed by Tianmen Mountain with the Heaven's Gate and a return to Guangzhou. A night in a hotel before the flight home gives a pause to collect one's thoughts. The tour is suitable for those who are ready for transfers, want to see both a megacity, and village life, and mountain landscapes, and are not afraid to change hotels. The rhythm is uneven: after busy excursions there are calm evenings in hotels, and between cities — the road.
