Things to do in Guilin, Guangxi: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
Fascinating limestone hills and towers lure tourists from China and around the world to this city of 630,000. Popular sights include 120-hectare Seven Star Park, Reed Flute Cave, 200-foot high Fubo Hill and the much-loved Elephant Trunk Hill. Guilin is very popular as a starting point for Li River cruises to Yangshuo and for visits to the nearby minority villages of Yao, Miao and Dong. April, May, September and October are the best months to visit, as they avoid the extremes of heat and rain.

After you do a river cruise, you should try and take in the view of the mountains from above. My friends and I biked from near the sun and moon pagodas to the base of the mountain using ofo bikes. It took us about an 1 hour to bike there, and it is relatively flat except for the last maybe 400 meters. We then paid 110 yuan to take the ski lift up to the top where the views were absolutely magical. We tried to get a student discount as we had student cards from our university in Shanghai, but we didn't get a discount because we didn't study in Guilin (or this is atleast what we understood). We then took the ski lift down and biked back into Guilin downtown. It was really amazing and after spending 4 months in China, it was so nice to make my way into less populated areas, I would 100% recommend biking to the base of the mountain as you pass farms and cool cemeteries etc. on your way. Enjoy this beautiful sight!!

This was the old palace of one of the crown princes of the Qing dynasty. Very unique palace ground with a solo hill protruding in the middle of the palace.
