Looking for a great place for your next family trip in China? Guilin is a perfect choice! Don’t just follow a common tourist plan. Try something active and fun here, and you can make wonderful and unforgettable memories with your family.

First, take a hike along the beautiful Li River. Forget the busy tourist boats, walk slowly, enjoy the fresh air, and see how local people live and work along the banks. Isn’t it more interesting than just sitting on a boat?

Next, visit the terraced rice fields (梯田) in the mountains. They look like big green steps! See how farmers use the land in a smart way, and the views are amazing. Can you imagine planting rice here?

Do you like adventure? Explore a quiet cave! Inside, you can see strange and fantastic rock shapes. Play a shadow game with your family’s hands—it’s really fun! Guilin is also great for outdoor activities. You can try biking, rock climbing, or stand-up paddleboarding (桨板运动). How cool is that?

For a relaxing day, visit a small farm. Children can play with friendly animals like dogs, ducks, and goats. Parents can rest and enjoy a drink on the soft lawn. Want to try a traditional handicraft? Meet a local artist by the Li River, learn to paint simple Chinese pictures like bamboo or mountains, and then make your own paper fan to take home. It’s a perfect souvenir (纪念品)!
