4.5Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces(953 reviews) - Great place to visit Points of Interest & Landmarks • Historic Walking Areas • Lookouts
This is an amzing site to see. We went when the colour of the rice was changing from green to yellow , absolutely beautiful . There is a cable car to go up the hill but the climb is not to serious . If you are pressed for time take the cable car up and down otherwise enjoy the views and walk through the rice terraces.See more..

4.5Ping'an Village(356 reviews) - Worth a visit Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
We walked here when visiting the rice terraces. Very interesting to wander around and get a feel for life here. Lots of photo opportunities. Some places are looking very closed but some are open and welcoming. We had a drink in a cafe with a great view and the people were very friendly. See more..
4.5Lijiang Folk Customs Garden(291 reviews) - Beautiful Scenery & Boat Ride Tuesday: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
u have 2 options to visit this, either buy a guided tour which is a 4/5 hour ride down the entire river or a second tour which is an hour boat ride with only the main high lights of this river & the moutain scene that is on the 20yuan Note. or u can do a private tour yourself and but just the boat ride at teh end of the Liu River We opted for the half day trip that finished at Liu River. And the Moutains that are captured on The 20 Yuan Note. Beautiful Ride. Great Scenery. the boat ride took about an hour max. Keep a 20 Yuan Note in your person & do what most Chinese Touris did & hold it up when u pass the Mountains On the Note & snap a pic. All in all a great tour well worth it A must see i saySee more..
Strongly recommended to pay the extra and take this ride from the starting point. One of the clearest waters where the ride will pass through 7 river steps. Riding along with the water ducks, witnessing all the different ranges and rock formations. Best to take this ride towards sunset, you get to see all the beautiful still perfect reflections of the hills all around your raft.See more..
You cannot miss the giant butterfly as you drive/ride along the Yangshuo road from the city center to Moon hill. It is a great place for photography.See more..
It seemed like much of the area at the top was closed for maintenance so we enjoyed the gondola ride more than the actual mountain. The views at the top are very good and you can see the city and many of the mountain formations from the top. The gondola costs 55 one way or 110 round trip. We took the round trip because the hike to the top looked steep and undermaintained.See more..
4.5Sun and Moon Pagodas(232 reviews) - Great Night Cruise of Guilin Points of Interest & Landmarks
Travel is incomplete without a night cruise of these 2 pagodas in Shan Lake. Not only is Guilin famous for all its natural scenaries and rocks, China has cleaned up their waterways. Our cruise passed through crystal clear rivers where we can see fishes and rocks at the bottom of these rivers.See more..
5.0Xianggong Mountain(230 reviews) - Wow!!! Tuesday: 5:00 AM - 8:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lookouts • Observation Decks & Towers • Scenic Walking Areas
Amazingly beautiful!A must to see when in Yangshou, I can stand there for hours and just admire the landscape. I was fortunate to see it in fairly clear weather before it covered up with cloud and rain started , but once the rain stopped it was an awesome sight to see how the mist rise from the mountains and dissapear before the sun. Got realy nice photos of the mist between the mountain peaks. Just an awesome place!See more..
4.5Detian Scenic Resort(209 reviews) - Well Worth a Visit Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Waterfalls
First off let me say you need to be reasonaly fit to enjoy all features of this park. As a foreigner we found it necessary to obtain tickets at the visitor centre some 15kms distant from the park entry. There are ticket machines at the actual park entrance but these would not work for our Chinese guest and rejected all attempts as a foreigner. Similarly the online ticketing facility would not accpet foreigner details. The ticket booth personnel at the park entry and at the main visitor centre spoke no English. Entry includes a return bus trip to the park entrance. You can hire English speaking guides at the visitor centre. The guide (Chinese speak only) on our bus was excellent - even advising against shopping within the park where the goods were more expensive than the same goods in shops outside the park. He held the additional tickets for the boat ride up to the falls (30RMB) and also the mechanised 'path' (58RMB). There are 2 main, one way, visitor routes around the park. One is by foot, the other includes mechanised people movers at a considerable height above the park. These are rubberised belts that you sit on. Entry to the upward lift is via 2 flights of some 250 steps of stairway; frankly I gave up at the first staging area - half way to the top. The paths around the park are now paved and equipped with stairways (in wood and concrete, the latter with a timber appearance). These stairways are quite steep and numerous, hence the need for fitness. We travelled here by road from Beihai. Basically Highway S60 and then to County Road S325. We ran into a check point after being on S325; the officials were very friendly and we were passed through, after showing our visas, in no time. After hours on S60 the motoring around the county roads was a dream - much like the UK country roads\lanes. Gorgeous countryside everwhere, including off S60.See more..
4.0Xingping Fishing Village(145 reviews) - Blast from the Past Tuesday: 7:00 AM - 6:30 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
The Xingping Fishing Village is the place that feels like a blast from the past. The buildings are ancient well preserved building that looks like pre-war building with national flags hanging. The shops are commercialised selling poor imitations of beer fish or local Guangxi dishes. There are also local souvenir shops selling most cheap looking over priced items. Nevertheless the area has a unique charm as it is surrounded by beautiful karst mountains and barren grasslands. When you blend the two together, there is a unique tranquil peaceful feeling you don't usually experience. My advice is to have a heavy late breakfast before you go there. The food and shops are forgettable. But the ambiance is worth the visit. To enjoy the calm and peace, you can also order coffee at cafes there, and just sip slowly to appreciate the joy of being in a blast from the past.See more..
4.5Guilin Merryland Resort(141 reviews) - First visit in Guilin Amusement & Theme Parks • Points of Interest & Landmarks
My first trip in Guilin, chosen to a non popular but historical city - XingAn. I have chosen Guilin Merryland Resort thru recommendation. It’s a rather old hotel and a distance away from the city but come with pretty nice environment with a golf course and theme park for kids. What I like about were the nice natural reserve and garden, fresh air on the morning very relaxing. Great for break away from City. Another plus point nice pool for me to relax. Room rate extremely reasonable. I will be back when I need a quiet and relaxing weekend break.See more..
4.0Daxu Old Town(130 reviews) - Nice old streets to discover Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
We went there in hot july. Easy to reach from guilin. Didi, buses, .. Small streets are near and along the river. Very old houses. Dont be afraid to go deep in the small streets. Some tourists shops or old chinese stuff... Some old houses can be visited for 2rmb Bus 306 is going back to guilin. 2rmb one way. Nice place to spend so spend some hours See more..
4.0Jingjiang Wangcheng City(88 reviews) - Decent Tuesday: 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
I came here with the expectations of the height of a chair but came out with the height of a mountain. The park itself was quite nice and the many buildings included many interactive displays and activities. It costs 100 RMB per person to enter (50 for under 6) and comes with a tour guide who will explain it in Mandarin along the way. This is very underrated and should be among the highest. The only downside would be the price as the ticket is very expensive but as Guilin's Non1 attraction, it sure is worth the priceSee more..
3.0Tall Banyan(88 reviews) - Impressive grandpa tree Tuesday: 7:00 AM - 6:30 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Historic Walking Areas
I visited this place on my bike ride to the moon hill. Basically it's a very old and a very big tree, apparently 1500 year old. I would say it's quite impressive, but it would be better if it's not fenced off and having 100s of tourists walking around taking photos. The entry fee is 20 Yuan, which is not bad but if it's a worthwhile investment to see an old tree, I'll leave it to you. Walk in walk out 5 min max, here are some photos, if you decide to bypass it.See more..
I started w ZhengYang BuXing Jie on the first day and was amused to see the many restaurants and local snacks stall. There are row and row of shops selling local snacks and souvenior.See more..
The trek to Dazai and Jinkeng Rice Terraces took more than 4 hours. It is a challenging trek along narrow mountain trails. The scenery however more than compensate for the stress on the knees due to the stone slabs trails. My guide, Mr Liao a Zhuang minority and the father in law of the Baike hotel owner walks like he is on a sunday stroll. He has to slow down considerably for me.See more..
4.0Huangyao Ancient Town(65 reviews) - Avoid staying inside the town Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
Please consider this: to prevent further worsening the environment of the ancient town, visitors'd better stay in a hotel just outside the town. With a day pass, visitors are entitled to unlimited entry to the ancient town so you can take photos, see the houses, eat in a local food stall or small restaurant or have or drink in a bar anytime on a day you like but please do not stay inside the town. There are dozens of family-run hostels. Just imagine, the ancient sewage facilities cannot accommodate hundreds of visitors using modern industrial products of shampoo or shower gel. Very sure, the untreated sewage will pollute the river of the town. Visitors who really like the town are very welcome to go to the town, but please avoid staying inside the ancient town for the sake ot the town. Let the younger generations have an opportunity to see this lovely ancient town (though the town is being more and more commercialised).See more..
4.0Jiuxian Ancient Village(61 reviews) - This is why you come to Yangshuo Points of Interest & Landmarks
We ended up in Jiuxian because our lodging was here, but frankly, anyone that comes to china sees plenty of cities. You come to Yangshuo to see the area that Jiuxian is. Mountains, rivers, rice paddies, greenery, hikes, peaceful farming village. NOTHING COMMERCIAL. It is amazing and should be a UNESCO world heritage site. All this and you can get excellent lunch or dinner or just a drink in a cool environment at the Secret Garden hotel if you are not staying there.See more..
4.0ShangShui MeiShiJie(58 reviews) - Fun spot Points of Interest & Landmarks
A very lively, fun spot to wander, try local foods and mix with the locals. Many of the side streets have market stalls for faux antiques and souvenirs and others have street food vendors and small shops. Wherever you wander, there's something to see and you'll get some great food, although don't count on anybody speaking English or the menus being in anything but Chinese.See more..
3.5Guilin Central Square(58 reviews) - Nice place for quick pics Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
Visted during a morning walk... There's a large underground shopping center- selling mostly clothing.See more..
4.5Beihai Old Street(46 reviews) - A unique architecture Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
It is not common to see preserved buildings in China. This old fishing "town" is full of charm, and this old traditional street is just nearby the sea. A great place for a relaxing time, full of culture.See more..
3.5Jinhu Square(44 reviews) - Pretty but boring Points of Interest & Landmarks
The statue is pretty impressive, but the fountain only gets turned on during festivals and for visiting diplomats. Otherwise, this is a pretty plain plaza with no real attractions. There's a Starbucks or a McDonald's cafe nearby where you can buy some coffee, and in the evening there's usually some terrible singing. However, it's useful to note that the Vietnamese visa office is just across the street above/behind the Bank of China building.See more..
4.0Guanyan Scenic Resort(40 reviews) - Little adventure with train and boat in karst caves Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
Nearly 1-2 hours visit to this karst cave in Guilin. There is a little train that can take you for a round of visiting . Also small boats provided for the underground river travel. No any light during the boat travel. A small flashlight and life jacket are provided to you. It is quite interesting to visit a karst cave in this way.See more..
3.5Beihai Underwater World(35 reviews) - Nice!!! Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
This was actually a lot better than we were expecting it to be. Very well laid out and a lot on display. We also enjoyed the 4D cinema next door.. Definitely worth a visit if you have the time.See more..
3.5Beibuwan Square(32 reviews) - A place to sit and relax Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
It's an ordinary square, but it is quite active. There are people dancing, singing, relaxing, and just enjoying themselves. Take some time and have a seat.See more..
3.5Beihai Ocean Garden(28 reviews) - More history than fish Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
It's not cheap but there is a quite a bit to read and see. The beginning gives the history of the world then a certain amount of sea plants and some ocean species swimming around. You can even touch the fish in the tanks. Then later there is a museum bit giving the history of the great explorers. Oh and a shark.See more..
4.5Dalongtan Scenic Resort(27 reviews) - Just beautiful and no one knows about it Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Game & Entertainment Centers
This park is equal to or even better than anything I saw in Guilin, and admission is FREE. It has so many hills with incredible views if you want to enjoy a hike or find a quiet spot to relax, and the air is unbelievably fresh. Another reviewer called it "Liuzhou's lung" and I'd have to agree! In the spring, you can see the peach blossoms blooming, and in the summer the array of butterflies is fantastic. If you climb up one of those hills and sit down for a moment, often a butterfly will land on your shoulder or knee.See more..
4.0Guangxi Medicinal Botanical Garden(24 reviews) - TO LEARN OR DIE...HEHE. Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Beach & Pool Clubs
This gardened is very well planned. I enjoyed also eating a healthy lunch at the restaruant there. Great food!See more..
3.5XingNing Lu BuXingJie(24 reviews) - Good area for shopping Points of Interest & Landmarks
Lots of mid-sized shops in this area. Mostly selling clothes etc. but they also have a huge Xinhua bookstore on there. It's probably 5 stories tall and has something for western customers too. I did not find restaurants where I would have wanted to eat but they did have McDonalds there though. In the evening it can be filled with people and super noisy. Go there at noon.See more..
4.5Mingshi Rurality(23 reviews) - Stunning and quiet beauty Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
We stayed one night in Mingshi rurality during our 4-day self guided tour of this part of Guangxi. This place is really easy to get to from Daxin (Check you my other review of Detian for travel details). It might sound exaggerated, but this is one of the most beautiful places to watch a sunset in China. This is not only because of the natural beauty of the karst landscape, but also due to the quiet serenity and relatively small crowds. There is still a country calmness and charm to this place. Eating at one of the local restaurants is a culinary experience in itself. Try their open roasted duck and pork in particular, as well as their pickled root vegetables, very unique to this part of the world!See more..
4.0ZhuHai Lu BuXingJie(23 reviews) - Full of history and good experiences Points of Interest & Landmarks
Interesting and beautiful environment - good for strolling with family or friends - not a typical view on Modern China of These daysSee more..
3.5Changshou Village of Bama(22 reviews) - Changshou village located at Bapan or Ping An village Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
It is a small village in between BAIMO Cave and BAINIAO GROTTO scenic area. If you are rushing for time, you may consider joining a tour group travel from Nanning for 1night 2 days trip.The tour will consist of visiting Baimo Cave, Changshou village, and Bainiao Grotto, with stay overnight at Bama. Changshou village is nothing much to see except you can visit some old age people. I joined the tour from Nanning and they brought us to visit 2 homes and take photo with the 2 old people (103 and 106 years old). Changshou village has nothing much to see but Baimo Cave and Bainiao Grotto has much scenic spots to see and experience.See more..
I didnt know about this tower before travell to SanJiang. But when i entered it i was shocked. Such a great structure! I had only 20' after lunch, so make sure that u have more time to for exploring.See more..
3.5Yangmei Ancient Town(21 reviews) - Definitely worth to see Ancient Ruins • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
Been there last week, it was amazing to see all this ancient buildings. There is hardly any commercial activities in the town, so that's what makes this place worth to travel. People there are very kind if you talk to them, they even invited me to watch TV with them on the street. And you can notice there are so many chickens and cows on the street, they are as free as human being there. There are not many visitors in the town, but Yangmei ancient town is full of history and spirit. Highly recommend to visit.See more..
4.0Pingxiang Friendship Gate(19 reviews) - Just a border crossing..... Tuesday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
....with nothing else. Train drops you off in Pingxiang, and you take an automobile taxi, a motorbike ride or in the back of what is basically a tuk-tuk with some labourers and catch a ride to the border there! Walk up a big hill, sopend a while at the Chinese side trying to get out and spend a LONGER while aty the Vietnamese side trying to get IN (UNLESS you had the foresight to accidentally leave a $5.00USD bill in your passport. That sort of accident can cause you to be cleared through Vietnamese Customs and Immigration almost immediately!!!!!) - I DIDN'T KNOW THIS, so, after about 90 minutes and a Taiwan bus tour group who got there AFTER I had arrived at the gate were being processed BEFORE I was, I started pounding on the glass and threatening.......suddenly - I was cleared! :-)See more..
4.5Green Lotus Peak (Bilian Peak)(19 reviews) - Tricky to find path and it’s sketchy but well with it Mountains • Points of Interest & Landmarks
Took a while to find the path - go up concerte steps heading to massage place - keep going up and the turn left into dirt trail (see pics below) It’s a big of a scramble and not for tourists without the right shoes and cab hike steep slippery terrain - we went day after rain and it was super slick Well worth the trek - view from top is spectacular See more..
4.5Mt. Xishan Scenic Resort of Guiping(15 reviews) - buddhist shrine and nice view Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
West Mountain is famous for strangely-shaped rocks, lush green trees, alluring fragrant tea and sweet spring water. It is also the best-preserved buddhist shrine in guangxi with time-honored buddhist temples, pavilions, pagodas and halls.See more..
3.5No.53 Boundary Marker(13 reviews) - vietnam-china boundary marker Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
To get to the vietnam-china boundary marker, one needs to walk through the no.3 platform, the highest waterfall viewing platform. From the waterfall, it takes around 20 mins to the marker. One can opt for a pony ride at 30 yuan per ride. Random stalls are set up along the trail. There is a flea market selling Vietnamese products at the boundary marker. Products sold are almost the same for all stalls. Vietnam coffee, slippers, decorations etc. Price negotiating is a must as prices are set randomly. A good deal comes with good bargaining skills. See more..
5.0Crystal Palace of Bama(12 reviews) - A beautiful cave worth visiting Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Caverns & Caves • Geologic Formations
I have visited about eight limestone caves in China, and I like the Crystal Palace most. The cave is bigger than other caves; it is deep, wide and tall. The stalagmites and stalactites come in various sizes and shapes, and are illuminated by colorful floodlights. A good point about the cave is that the paths are covered with non-slip mats, and hence you don't have to worry about slippery rocks. We all agreed that this beautiful cave is worth visiting.See more..
Its a short steep climb, but once you reach the Diecaishan Stone the views of the Li River are gorgeous. Ask your tour guide to take you here, you'll love it.See more..
Great place to see the local culture at night. People of all ages gather here, which is great to see. You can watch the dancers who are amazing, to just stroll around listen to the music and eat from the various nearby food stalls. See more..
4.5Wanwei Beach(10 reviews) - Comfortable long beach, a heaven for seafood Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
Although the temperature is not very low in the end of November, but the sun play hidden cat with us so blue sky, white clouds and beautiful sunshine is just a fantasy. Fortunately there are few tourists thus we enjoyed a quite leisure weekend at the golden beach. The next day we rent a fishing boat and expected a rewarding journey with plenty of fish and shrimp as ingredients for lunch, but facts proved that it is our imagination. It seems that wet cold weather is not suitable for sea fishing. But anyway, we purchased seafood in the nearest seafood market and handed over to restaurant for processing. Of course we must highlight that the seafood is really fresh and delicious and equally important cost-effective!See more..
4.5Guantouling Tourism Zone(10 reviews) - Very interesting if you look around you Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
At first look, not so interesting but if you take your time there are a few very interesting aspects to Guantouling Hill and surrounding area. You can see traditional boat building of the local fishing boats, there is a great beach where hundreds of couples have their wedding photos taken and my favorite is the working Buddhist temple. The temple has a wonderful atmosphere and it’s a good place to relax. The building of the temple and the landscaping of its surroundings is an ongoing project. Continuing to the top of the hill you can have a view of the whole of Beihai city. Going down the other side of the hill there are more OK beaches and a few cafes. The hill is at the western tip of the peninsula on which Beihai is built. You can have a very pleasant day out.See more..
4.0HangYang GuangChang Jie(10 reviews) - Something for everyone! Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Hang Yang Mall is huge (and a little confusing). Loads of restaurants and coffee shops. Lots of trendy shops. Walmart in the lower level. Very busy and crowded most of the time.See more..
4.5Liuzhou Qishi City(9 reviews) - Amazing insight into some of Asia's strangest collectibles Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
I like some of these viewing stones even more that I like bonsai, and the viewing stone market in Luizhou is a great place to see them. Most years there is an international stone festival held here. The market is interesting to wander around for half an hour but i was particularly impressed by one gallery at the front, where they had some really beautiful examples at crazy prices. "Gao Jian Shang Shi Hui Sho ([tel] 13978067895" Take a number four busSee more..
4.5Huashan Rock Painting(8 reviews) - Unique Rock Paintings Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Ningming Huashan Hot Spring International Hotel (very good!) where we stayed chartered a boat (400rmb) for us to see these incredible over 2200 years old rock paintings. It is best to see them from the river, the viewing terrace is a bit far away and tourists were not allowed on the one close to the rock. The boat trip is beautiful and relaxing and takes about 3-4 hours.The boat itself was very basic, but fine. If you have the opportunity, go to the Guangxi Museum of Nationalities in Nanning before visiting the site. The museum gives you excellent information about the Zhuang people (and their predecessors) and the rock paintings. Our skipper was quite knowledgeable too, but he only spoke Chinese. It is obvious that this site is being prepared for mass tourism, it is on Unesco's Tentative List. So go as soon you can!See more..
4.5Mt. Putao Scenic Resort(8 reviews) - Beautiful sunset - a must if you like great view point. Points of Interest & Landmarks • Civic Centres
One of the best view I saw in yangshuo area. We went for sunset. You have a 360 panoroma. Very impressive . Not easy to find!See more..
We came here by accident and were really happy we did. On Didi this place came up under “botanical garden” so we hopped in and off we went. About halfway through the drive we noticed we were heading away from the Guilin botanical garden in the north of the city. We decided to stick it out and see where we ended up. The gardens were really quiet with only a few other people walking through. It’s really large and full of winding forest paths up and downs, little ponds and pagodas all over. We walked for two hours and didn’t see it all. Do bring your own water and snacks as there are no vendors (another plus!).See more..
