📌 Program Overview
This 3-day / 2-night Longji Rice Terraces private tour is designed for travelers who want to combine Guilin scenery, Longji Rice Terraces, and Yangshuo countryside in one short route.
The itinerary adds Longji Rice Terraces to the classic Guilin and Yangshuo landscape experience. It is suitable for guests who want more than a Li River route and are interested in mountain villages, seasonal terrace views, minority village scenery, and rural landscapes.
This sample itinerary includes selected hotel accommodation, breakfasts, private English-speaking guide service during sightseeing, local private vehicle service, listed visits, Longji ticket arrangements, Yangshuo countryside arrangements, and pickup or drop-off according to the confirmed itinerary.
✨ Tour Highlights
• See Guilin scenery, Longji Rice Terraces, and Yangshuo countryside in 3 days
• Visit Longji Rice Terraces for mountain views, village paths, and seasonal terrace scenery
• Explore selected Guilin city highlights such as Reed Flute Cave, Elephant Trunk Hill area, or lakeside scenery
• Spend time in Yangshuo for karst peaks, rural roads, riverside views, and relaxed countryside atmosphere
• Travel privately with hotel stay, arranged vehicle, guide service, tickets, no group merging, and no shopping stops
👥 Who This Tour Is For
This tour is suitable for first-time Guilin visitors who want both the classic karst landscape and Longji Rice Terraces within a compact 3-day stay.
It is a good option for couples, families, photographers, nature-focused travelers, mature guests, and small private groups who want a stronger scenery route than a Guilin-and-Yangshuo-only itinerary.
Because Longji involves mountain roads, village paths, steps, and seasonal scenery, this route is best for travelers who are comfortable with some walking and a busier sightseeing rhythm.
🧩 Customization Notes
This sample itinerary can be customized based on arrival time, departure time, hotel preference, room arrangement, group size, luggage, walking ability, and preferred pace.
The standard route usually includes 2 nights in Guilin for easier access to both Longji Rice Terraces and Yangshuo. If you prefer to stay overnight in Yangshuo or near Longji, the hotel and transfer plan can be adjusted with a revised quote.
Longji scenery changes by season. Rice-field water reflections, green terraces, harvest colors, and winter views are different experiences, so the final route can be adjusted around photography needs, walking ability, weather, and road conditions.
