Overview
Day 1: Guilin - Xingping Your 2-day biking adventure begins in Guilin, where your guide will be waiting for you with your bike. Today, you will cycle a total of approx. 20 miles (32 km) beginning with a ride out of the city alongside the bamboo-lined Li River and through the peaceful village of DaXu. See displays of local rural life as you ride along charming old streets. Stop at the village of CaoPing and have lunch at a local restaurant (included) where we'll feast on seasonal local specialities. Then, take a 2-hour scenic ferry cruise down the Li River and admire views of the breathtaking karst mountains and the quaint riverside village. In the late afternoon, disembark in the quiet town of Xingping, a Ming Dynasty-era village with ancient streets and traditional architecture that’s rapidly disappearing in China. Mingle with the residents and watch a gorgeous sunset before heading to your overnight riverside accommodation. Lot's of eating options are available for dinner (own expense), both western and Chinese, so be sure to ask your guide on the best tips for eating out! Overnight: Water and Cloud Inn in XingPing Day 2: Xingping - Yangshuo In the morning, we'll cycle along the Li River before we take a ferry across the Li River once again and hop back onto your bike. Test your endurance on a 3-mile (5-km) uphill climb to reach a high point with picturesque aerial views of the Li River and the sublime karst scenery. Follow your guide for 10 more miles (17 km) to the town of Baisha. Here, visit a local market selling a variety of fresh produce. As you continue toward Yangshuo, ride alongside the striking Yulong River, a small tributary of the Li River, and see the ancient Dragon Bridge and Fuli Bridge. For more adrenaline-filled fun, stop for a 20-minute hike to Moon Hill, featuring remains of a limestone cave, to enjoy wonderful panoramic views of the countryside. Then, cool off with a refreshing dip in the Yulong River. After another 2 miles (4 km), arrive in the riverside town of Yangshuo to end of your 2-day adventure.
