Guiln, China Elephant Cave Natural Formation Landscape Travel Sight

Xiufeng

Xiufeng District lets you slip behind Guilin's tourist curtain and into the rhythm of everyday Chinese life.

Family-run shops serve authentic Guilin rice noodles at budget-friendly prices in this walkable area. Simple guesthouses and converted courtyard homes offer intimate stays with genuine local hospitality. Most attractions are within easy walking distance, though public buses run every 20-30 minutes if you need them.

Ten Mile Gallery

Ten Mile Gallery treats you to a front-row seat of nature's most spectacular show - dramatic limestone karst mountains jutting from the earth like something out of a fantasy novel. Bamboo rafts drift along the emerald waters of the Li River while traditional fishing villages dot the shoreline. Hikers and photographers flock to spots like Moon Hill and the Yulong River Scenic Area to capture those pinch-me-I'm-dreaming vistas. Local family-run guesthouses offer authentic stays with home-cooked meals featuring fresh river fish. Getting around means embracing the outdoors - rent bikes to explore or hop on a bamboo raft to see the landscape from water level. Morning mist creates magical photo ops before the day's adventure begins.
