Guilin Zhangjiajie Tour: A 7-Day Customizable Adventure Through Karst Peaks and Avatar Mountains

D1 Guilin Arrival

Welcome to Guilin, one of the most breathtaking destinations in China! Upon your arrival at the airport or railway station, you will be warmly greeted by your local guide and driver, who will be holding a sign that reads "Your Way Holiday." After a brief introduction, you will embark on a scenic 2.5-hour drive to Ping’an Village in the Longji Rice Terrace area. This picturesque region, home to the famous terraced fields cultivated by local ethnic minorities for centuries, offers some of the most stunning landscapes in China. Upon arrival at the Ping’an Village Tourist Center, vehicles are not allowed to enter the village itself, so you will need to walk approximately 900 steps uphill to reach your hotel in the village. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes to make the walk easier. For travelers with heavy luggage or limited physical strength, hiring a local porter is a great option (extra cost on your own). Once checked in, you are free to explore the surrounding beauty at your own pace, soaking in the fresh mountain air and admiring the terraced fields stretching into the horizon. If your flight or train arrives after 5 PM, it is advisable to stay in Guilin for the night and transfer to Ping’an the next day to ensure a more relaxed journey.
