Choosing this experience

The sightseeing sequence shown for 5-Day Guilin and Yangshuo Highlights with Longji Hiking Tour brings together Yulong River and Longji Rice Terraces across 5 listed days. Keep the journey between Yulong River and Longji Rice Terraces visible in the 5-Day Guilin and Yangshuo Highlights with Longji Hiking Tour brief, so their visit allowances are considered alongside the arrival, departure and any connecting travel.

Compared with 7-Day Complete Package for Guilin, Yangshuo and Longsheng, this itinerary keeps the sightseeing brief to Yulong River and Longji Rice Terraces; the other programme also lists Two Rivers and Four Lakes waterfront. The decision about adding Two Rivers and Four Lakes waterfront should include its actual visit and connecting travel, rather than assuming it fits inside the allocation already used for Yulong River.
