Living in a RURAL VILLAGE in Guilin, China
Growing up a Kiwi in NZ but born in China it has always been one of Peter's dreams to go back to the country of his birth and stay in a remote village nestled among spectacular mountains.
We took a high speed bullet train from Guangzhou to Guilin and got to turn Peter's childhood dream into reality by going to an old Chinese fishing-farming village from the Qing dynasty and staying there for 10 nights. Peter found an ancient Qing dynasty lao jia (old home) accommodation which was where we stayed at. It's located in a small village in rural Guilin, China with a population of around only 300 people.
It's a couple hours drive to get to the village. There is only one ferry to this rural Guilin village and one ferry back out. We mingled with locals, enjoyed the scenic beauty, peacefulness and all the simple everyday things in life. As a Chinese born Kiwi growing up with Western culture this has been a massive thing Peter always wanted to do so since quitting our jobs to travel the world. It's amazing to finally turn a childhood dream like this into reality and check a number of items off both our bucket lists.
This is the Lao Jia Airbnb accommodation for where we stayed in Guilin:
And if you're looking to book high speed trains while traveling in China, we used:
Special thanks to Hai Bo for being a wonderful caretaker during our stay and the rest of the team too like Mao sifu delivering us soy bean milk daily and inviting us to his home, Xiaomo for cooking us the delicious vegetarian meals everyday and also to Ayi for the homemade baozi and keeping our place clean too. Such warm and lovely people.

We found Paradise in Guilin, China
We traveled from Chengdu to Guilin to embark on a 3 day photography extravaganza. The guided tour required us to wake up at 2-3am every day to photograph sunrise in incredibly difficult to reach locations with gorgeous views and stay up all the way through the sunset to catch the best light. I wasn't prepared for how much I would love Guilin, it's absolutely beautiful there.

China Tours - Guilin, China
Guilin is celebrated for its picturesque limestone mountains and the meandering Li River.
An ancient Chinese saying describes the landscape in Guilin as the best scenery under heaven.
Its misty peaks rise as suddenly from the earth as trees in a forest, they surround the city like mountains floating in an imaginary sea.
With China Spree you are never far from the action, so your beautiful hotel is located in the heart of the city on a riverside avenue of the sweet-scented trees and walkway that overlooks the Li River. It's a great place for relaxation and meditation.
This part of the country encompasses China's most famous scenic landscapes.
While in Guilin we travel to Long Sheng for an off-the-beaten-path hiking tour of the spectacular Dragon Spine Rice Terraces.
Over the centuries, the drong and Yao minorities have sculpted 2,000 foot high peaks with remarkable step-like terraces. They use the terraces for growing rice. This transformation over time has created landscapes of utility as well as immense beauty.
In Spring, when the terraces are full of water, they resemble irregular silver ladders; and in autumn, when the rice ripens, the mountains turn into golden waves.
Visit the unique culture of local minorities and their villages where life has remained unchanged for thousands of years. We are able to hike between the villages following tiny stone paths carved out by the local people. This memorable journey is rarely included in the conventional itinerary.
A beautiful day waits! After breakfast, you take a scenic ride through the countryside, passing lush green fields and rice paddies, to reach the Bamboo River pier, where you embark on a memorable cruise down the picturesque Li River. The 40-mile trip has countless twists and turns and the scenery is reminiscent of classical Chinese landscapes—bamboo groves, sleepy villages, fishermen on bamboo rafts, cormorants, water buffalo, soaring karst pinnacles and mist shrouded peaks... your cruise concludes at Yangshuo, a rural town, amidst a haunting and surreal setting.
Time permitting you will have free time to explore this fascinating town on your own, followed by a tour on tuk-tuk to visit local farmers' fields and homes. Yangshuo's landscape of limestone hills, rice fields and lazy rivers is the very image of rural China, and ride on a tuk-tuk through this much-painted landscape provides a great way to experience the dramatic countryside, ancient villages and bustling local markets in a very intimate way.
Traveling back to Guilin in the late afternoon, en route, we will make photo stop to shoot signature sceneries of the countryside
If time permits, you will tour the Reed Flute Cave, nature's subterranean wonder filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Its name comes from the verdant reeds growing outside that are used to make flutes. The grand chamber known as the Crystal Palace, is an awesome spectacle.

Day 2 of the Guilin Photo Tour was packed with incredible photography opportunities. We spent sunrise with Blackbeard, another cormorant fisherman who lives in Guilin and then explored the area on a riverboat. We ended the day on Five Fingers Mountain where we watched the sunset. The next morning we spent sunrise with dozens of other photographers on Xianggong Hill.

Guilin China Travel Vlog | Caves and a Mountain Sunset (Episode 5)
This weeks travel vlog takes us in the city of Guilin, China and up the mountain Chuanshan. All is not as it seems!
We thought we were in for a nice day hike up one of Guilin's famous mountains, but instead found ourselves trapped on a show cave tour!
The bizarre and sometimes wonderful cave within Guilin's mountain, Chuanshan, isn't the only thing lurking within the cavernous depths of the mountain...
