Yangshuo's landscapes are the main draw, but a custom tour lets you experience them on your terms. Maybe you want sunrise at the most photogenic spot, a quiet hike away from the tour bus crowds, or a mix of outdoor adventure and local food. After years of guiding travellers here, I've learned that the perfect day in Yangshuo looks different for everyone — and that's exactly why pre-packed tours fall short.
That's the difference a custom tour makes. You're not just visiting Yangshuo — you're exploring it with someone who's been doing this for 15 years, who knows which ticket queues to skip, which restaurants to book, and which hidden corners are worth your time. Tell me what you want from your Yangshuo trip, and I'll build a day — or a week — around exactly that.
Explore the natural beauty around Yangshuo with a small group and experienced local guide. Includes transport and lunch.

We took Peng's recommended Guilin-Yangshoo itinerary and it was perfect. The Li River cruise, the rice terraces, cycling through the countryside — every day was a highlight. She booked a hotel with a view of the karst mountains that I'll never forget.
