Karst peaks and river mornings. Private guiding, your own vehicle, and an itinerary built around how long you actually have.
The karst peaks around Guilin are the landscape on the back of the ¥20 note and the reason Chinese landscape painting looks the way it does. The Li River runs through them from Guilin to Yangshuo, and the four-hour boat journey is one of the great river trips in the world.
Yangshuo itself is the place to stay — a small town of rice paddies, limestone towers and river bends, where the evenings are slow and the mornings are misty. Base yourself there rather than Guilin and the whole region changes character.
Three nights: one in Guilin or on the river, two in Yangshuo. Four lets you add the Longji terraces, which are two hours away and worth the trip.
