Why this Guilin and Yangshuo board feels complete

Plan a flexible 4-day Guilin and Yangshuo trip with a city day at Elephant Trunk Hill and the Shan Lake pagodas, a morning Li River cruise to Yangshuo, sunrise at Xianggong Mountain and Xingping, and a slow finish with Yulong River rafting and the Ten-Mile Gallery. Book the cruise and the Impression Liu Sanjie show ahead, and pack a light rain layer for spring drizzle, especially in peak April-October months.
