Half-day Guilin Heritages Tour On Foot With Local Snack Tasting

An old Chinese saying goes: East or west, Guilin landscape is the best, please join us to see different facets of the lovely city in South China.

We start at the Central Square of city downtown, and walk along the lake. When feeling a bit thirsty and tired, we will step into a lake-view tea house. Have some cups of hot tea and relax, listening to your guide, who let you know how to drink tea in a Chinese way.

After the tea break, we move on to see more about the local people’s way of life. Then walk slowly up to a hill at downtown to have a panoramic view of the city, and learn some unknown stories from the guide, which can not be found on internet or books.

Walk along Li River, and witness the fast development of the new district of Guilin. As you move forward, the guide will point out the oldest ground structure in Guilin, which is a stone-carved pagoda dated back to Tang Dynasty, about 1200 years ago.

A popular local specialty – Hammered Oil Tea Soup is followed, which is a snack food created by ethnic Yao people. After the energy refill, the guide will take you into an old city wall, which used to be a prince mansion during Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Walk to the East & West Lanes of the traditional architectural style to have a quick look of the small shops and restaurants. You can probably reward yourself with a Haagen-Dazs ice cream right here after the long walk.

Your fantastic trip will be concluded at the Central Square after a leisurely stroll through Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, where is a nice place for shopping and dining. Your guide will tell you the food options and good restaurants nearby.
