Day 1 Hong Kong – Guilin (Meal: Dinner)
Guilin is a beautiful city in China, situated in the northeast of the Guangxi Zhuang Region on the west bank of the Lijiang River. Its name means “ forest of Sweet Osmanthus”, owing to the large number of fragrant Sweet Osmanthus trees located in the city. The town centre is surrounded by two rivers and four lakes and studded with shear sided karst mountains. The city has long been renowned for its unique scenery. Arrive at Guilin and visit Fubo Hill an impressive shear sided rock and a park containing historical stone carvings and Buddhist inscriptions. On top of the hill, you can view the most exquisite scenery.

Day 2 Guilin – Longsheng – Guilin (Meal: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Visit Longsheng with its famous Longji rice terraces. Longji means 'Dragon Backed Mountain'. The terraced rice paddy fields on this mountain have created an intricate pattern on the hill side and when the paddies are full of water in spring, it is said to resemble the scales on the back of a dragon. The fields are beautiful all year round as the rice grows and matures, changing colours as it does so. This ingenious construction makes best use of the scarce arable land and water resources in the mountain area. The terraces were first built in the Yuan Dynasty and completed in the Qing Dynasty.

Day 3 Li River Cruise – Yangshuo (Meal: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Take a river cruise down the Li River and wind through some truly spectacular limestone formations to Yangshuo. Along the 100-kilometer stretch of the Li River, mountain peaks rise into the sky; water buffalo patrol the fields, peasants reap rice paddies and school children and fisherman float by on bamboo rafts. With its breathtaking scenery and taste of a life far removed from the concrete metropolis, the scenery along the Li River has become one of China's top tourist destinations. Disembark and transfer to hotel in Yangshuo.

Day 4 Yangshuo – Guilin – Hong Kong (Meal: Breakfast/Lunch)
Visit some famous attractions in Guilin. Seven Star Park is the largest country park with extensive views of Guilin City. The Reed Flute Cave is an enchanting water-eroded cave housing a spectacular world of impressive stalactites stone pillars and rock formations created by carbonate deposition. Situated majestically on the western bank of Li River, the Elephant Trunk Hill contains a large natural arch resembling the trunk of an Elephant dipping into the river and is a landmark of the Guilin landscape. After lunch, transfer to the airport for the flight back to Hong Kong.
