Welcome to China. In the morning your guide meets you at the Xi'an train station or in your hotel lobby, holding a Your Way Holiday sign. The first day is spent in and around Xi'an before the trip flies south to Guilin. Your guide and driver handle the transfers, so you can settle in and start the sightseeing straight away.
First stop is the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, about a 40-minute drive from the city. The clay army was made to guard Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, around 210 to 209 BCE, and thousands of life-sized soldiers, chariots and horses still stand in their excavation pits, each figure with a different face. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the sight most people come to Xi'an for.
After the museum the guide stops for lunch at a local restaurant serving Xi'an and Shaanxi dishes. Tell the guide about any dietary needs and they will help you order from the menu; lunch is at your own cost. Your driver stays on hand to carry you on to the afternoon.
In the afternoon, the Xi'an Ancient City Wall, a fortification begun in the 14th century under the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming dynasty. Among the largest and most intact old city walls in China, it runs roughly 14 kilometres around the centre and stands about 12 metres high. The broad walkway along the top can be walked or cycled, giving a clear view over the ramparts, gate towers and the streets below.
At the end of the day your driver takes you back to your hotel for the evening. The guide is on hand for any questions and confirms the next morning start; the evening is free to rest before the flight south.
Early in the morning your driver takes you to Xi'an airport for the roughly two-hour flight to Guilin. On arrival your local guide greets you at the exit with a Your Way Holiday sign, and the sightseeing begins the same day. Guilin is the gateway to the karst country of northern Guangxi, and this first day keeps to the sights around the town.
The first stop is Elephant Trunk Hill, a rock formation at the meeting of the Taohua and Li rivers that looks like an elephant lowering its trunk to drink. The stone arch and the pool below it make it one of the images most associated with Guilin. It is an easy short walk, and the guide explains the hill and the river trade that once passed beneath it.
At midday the guide stops for lunch at a local restaurant for Guangxi home cooking, including the rice noodles Guilin is famous for. Tell the guide about any dietary needs and they will help you order; the meal is at your own cost. It is a relaxed break before the afternoon.
In the afternoon, visit Reed Flute Cave, a long limestone cavern lit with coloured lights that has drawn visitors for centuries. Stalactites and stalagmites take on shapes that gave the cave its nickname the Palace of Natural Arts, and many of the formations carry old names and inscriptions cut into the rock. The walk inside is on paved paths and can be busy at peak times.
Your driver takes you to your hotel in Guilin, where the guide helps with the check-in. The evening is free to rest or walk by the river. Tomorrow the tour heads out to the countryside, so the guide confirms the pickup time before you settle.
After breakfast your guide takes you to the river for the Li River cruise, the highlight of the Guilin days. The boat run of about 83 kilometres from Guilin toward Yangshuo passes a continuous line of karst hills, many of them named from their shapes. It is a slow, scenic journey with open deck views; bring a warm layer for the wind on the water.
The Li River valley is the classic Guilin landscape: green karst cones rising straight from the banks, bamboo rafts on the water and crops in the terraces between. This is the stretch that appears on the twenty-yuan note. Your guide points out the named formations and any cormorant fishing rafts as you pass, and there are pauses to photograph the hills from the bank.
After the cruise you reach Yangshuo, a small town set among karst peaks in the river country south of Guilin. It is known for its caves, riverside temples and the hills that rise close around it. Compared with Guilin it is quieter and easy to get around on foot or by bicycle, and your guide can point out the better viewpoints and the shorter walks out into the fields.
You have free time in Yangshuo to explore the town and the countryside around it. The settlement has a long history, and the karst scenery can be seen from the river path or the low hills just outside. Many people hire a bicycle, take a short bamboo-raft ride on the Yulong River, or simply have coffee at a riverside cafe; the guide can arrange or suggest whichever suits you.
In the evening the guide takes you along West Street, the old pedestrian lane through the centre of Yangshuo that has been a market street for centuries. It is lined with small shops, tea houses, craft stalls and restaurants, and is liveliest after dark. It is a good place to browse and pick up dinner at your own cost.
After the Yangshuo days your driver takes you back to the Guilin airport or the train station, depending on where you go next, ending the three-day Xi'an and Guilin tour. Allow time for the drive back from Yangshuo; the drop-off point and timing are arranged around your booking, and the guide helps with your luggage before you go.
