Why Guilin, China is the Most Beautiful Place on Earth
A land of majestic mountains, sleepy lakes and mysterious caves – we guarantee that after seeing these dreamy photos of Guilin, the ‘land of the dragon’ will be your next go-to travel destination… Here’s why:
Welcome to Guilin, an alien landscape of viridescent epicness…
Located in the far south of China along the vast expanse of the River Li, discover dramatic landscapes of towering limestone karst hills…
Rainbow-colored caves…
Breathtaking tea plantations…
And some extreme sunset porn…
In the center, you’ll find two enormous lakes, the Shanbu (Cedar) and Ronghu (Banyan) – you probably recognize them from those really cutesy HSBC adverts…
The lakes were formed from a massive medieval-era moat that once surrounded vast swathes of the city…
Nicknamed the ‘pearl of China,’ the beautiful mountainscape covers an area of 10,734 square miles – colossal, huh?
In fact, the place is so gorgeous that for hundreds of years, children’s textbooks and the odd folk tale proclaimed that Guilin’s magical landscape ‘is the best under heaven’ (we totes agree)…
So, what are you waiting for Culture Trippers! Grab your passport and max out your credit card, because this natural beauty is hands-down gonna be your new BFF…

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.
Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.
Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.
We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
