Houtung

"Li River cruise is among the most memorable of China’s excursions. "

Admire Guilin's innumerable scenic spots, immortalised in paintings, music and poetry since time immemorial

Houtung's Favourite Tours in Guilin

Guilin has always been famous in China for its scenery and eulogised in innumerable literary works, paintings and inscriptions. One of the most fascinating sights, in the evening, is the cormorant fishermen using their long bamboo rafts working with big diving birds.

Li River Cruise is among the most memorable of China’s excursions. The 45 mile journey to Yangshuo glides through a landscape of the natural beauty including mist shrouded crags and bamboo groves which have inspired painters and poets for many centuries. The river is a perfect complement to the peaks which are identified by fanciful names such as 'Painting Brush Hill’, 'Five Tigers Catch a Goat Hill’, 'Looking for Husband Rock’ or 'Nine Horse Hill’. One of the most fascinating sights, in the evening, is the cormorant fishermen using their long bamboo rafts working with big diving birds.

Reed Flute Cave One of the most extraordinary sights Guilin has to offer is the underground Reed Flute Cave with its multi-coloured lighting and fantastic stalactites and stalagmites.

Elephant Trunk Hill on the bank of the Li River resembles an elephant dipping its snout into the river.

Yangshuo Surrounded by 18 peaks, Yangshuo is like a blooming lotus flower. The nature and rural scenery in this small mountain town is reputed to be Guilin’s best.

Fubo Hill slopes into the Li River in the east and looms over the ground in the west. Waves run back wherever they meet the rocks thus it gets the name.

Longsheng Minority Area Longsheng is located in the mountainous region in the northeastern part of Guilin. It is attractive for its natural beauty and the colourful ethnic Chinese cultures and customs.
