Your day starts with a convenient pickup from your Guilin hotel or train station. Your private guide and driver will meet you on time and take care of the journey, so you can simply relax and enjoy the changing scenery along the way. 

As you leave Guilin, the city gradually gives way to peaceful countryside, winding mountain roads, and traditional villages. During the drive, your guide will introduce the local landscape, farming traditions, and stories of the communities that have lived among these mountains for generations. After around 2–2.5 hours, you'll arrive at the Longji Scenic Area.

Explore the Amazing Longji Rice Terraces
Step into one of Guangxi's most iconic landscapes — the Longji Rice Terraces. Built along steep mountain slopes over hundreds of years, these terraces create incredible layers that change with the seasons. Depending on the time of your visit, you may see water-filled terraces reflecting the sky in spring, endless green fields in summer, golden rice fields in autumn, or misty mountain views in winter. Your guide will take you to the best viewpoints based on the weather and season, while sharing stories about the traditional farming techniques behind this impressive landscape. You'll have plenty of time to walk, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere.

Wander Through a Traditional Minority Village
Continue your journey into a local minority village, where you can experience the authentic side of life in the Longji mountains. Walking along the village paths, you'll discover traditional wooden houses, mountain views, and daily life that has remained closely connected with nature. Your guide will introduce the local customs, architecture, festivals, and traditions, helping you understand more than just what you see. For photography lovers, this is also a highlight of the trip — the combination of rice terraces, wooden villages, and mountain scenery creates unforgettable views at every turn.

Return to Guilin with Scenic Mountain Views
After exploring the terraces and village, relax during the comfortable drive back to Guilin. If you have a train departure or another travel plan, our team can arrange drop-off at your hotel, Guilin train station, or another convenient location. With transportation, local guidance, and itinerary planning taken care of, you can enjoy Longji Rice Terraces at a comfortable pace and experience the natural beauty and culture of Guilin's countryside.

Much more fun than I expected

I booked this mostly because my husband is obsessed with anything involving AI, but I ended up enjoying it just as much. The driverless taxi was the biggest surprise — sitting inside and watching the car make its own decisions felt a little strange at first! The robot dog was also hilarious. Our guide explained things without making it feel like a technology lecture, which I really appreciated.

Thanks, Eamon! We love hearing that the tour surprised you in the best way. The driverless taxi can feel a little odd at first, but once you settle in, it's a pretty memorable experience. Glad you both had fun exploring Shenzhen's tech side!

The trains made the route surprisingly easy

I had never traveled around China by high-speed train before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Once we got the hang of it, it was actually one of the easiest parts of the trip. Having someone meet us at the stations was especially helpful because some of the stations are enormous. We could just get off the train, find our driver and move on.

Thanks, Marlowe! Glad to hear our train journeys turned out to be easier than expected. Those big stations can definitely feel a bit overwhelming at first, so it's great to hear that having our driver there made things smoother. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the trip!

A Photographer's Kind of Day

If you like old architecture, bring a camera. Badaguan was probably my favorite part because every street seemed to have a slightly different look. The church and railway station were also great photo stops. I liked that the tour wasn't only about famous sights — there was plenty of time to notice small details along the way.

Thanks, Soren! We're delighted that the architectural side of Qingdao caught your eye. The city has so many small details that are easy to miss when you're in a hurry.

Definitely earned its reputation

I knew Mount Tai would be the big highlight for me, but it was still better than expected. The views kept changing as we went higher, and there was something really special about seeing the old temples and inscriptions along the mountain. The whole trip was also very well organized. We had enough time at each place without feeling like we were constantly watching the clock.
