• Reed Flute Cave (Ludi Yan) - Nestled in the hillside of Bright Hill in Northwest Guilin, near the Peach Blossom River, Reed Flute Cave is approximately 7 km from downtown. The cave derives its name from the reeds growing near its entrance, which are ideal for making flutes. Spanning 800 meters, it takes about fifty minutes to explore. Opened to the public in 1962, it is one of the most visited caves in China and globally, often referred to as the “Art Palace of Nature.” Inside, visitors can marvel at numerous stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone curtains, and stone flowers, all illuminated by colorful lights that create a breathtaking spectacle. These formations are named based on their appearance. The Crystal Palace, where illuminated stalagmites reflect in the cave’s natural lake, is among the most impressive sights.

• Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangbishan) - This majestic hill stands on the banks of the Li River, resembling an elephant drinking from the water. It is a symbol of the region and a testament to the power of erosion and time. Its unique shape makes it a must-see for visitors, often captured in photographs as a memento of the river journey. Local folklore enhances its charm, with stories that animate the hill and make it a vital part of the cultural landscape.

• Daxu Old Town - Located on the north bank of the Li River, about 30 km southeast of Guilin, Daxu Old Town was built during the Ming dynasty and boasts a history of over 1,000 years. It is one of the four ancient towns of Guangxi. The town originated at the beginning of the Song dynasty. Its 2 km street is paved with cobblestones, flanked by single-eave, old buildings with gray bricks and tiles. These structures, mainly from the Ming and Qing dynasties, are renowned for their magnificence, refinement, and practicality. Visitors can enjoy the narrow street with old-style shops, herb shops, and traditional buildings, offering a delightful taste of local style and national features. The residents maintain a relaxed lifestyle. Once a bustling trading center, the town quieted after the 1930s as railways and highways replaced river shipping.

• Caoping Hui Ethnic Country - The Li River, flowing through the scenic landscape of Caoping, offers a serene and breathtaking experience. As you cruise along the river, you’ll witness misty mountains, lush greenery, and traditional water villages. The riverbanks are dotted with fishermen in conical hats, using cormorants to catch fish, a scene unchanged for centuries. The water is so clear that the reflections of the surrounding karst peaks create a mirror-like effect, making it a photographer’s paradise. The Li River at Caoping is not just a river; it’s a living gallery of nature’s artistry, where time seems to stand still, showcasing the beauty of China’s natural heritage. An electric boat ride of about 50 minutes offers a stunning view of the karst limestone hills.
