Guilin and Tibet Tours

Located in southern China, Guilin is famous for its karst landscapes, winding rivers, and relaxed atmosphere. The Guilin–Yangshuo area is especially known for the Li River, limestone peaks, and traditional villages. You can explore attractions such as the Longji Rice Terraces, Ping'an Village, Reed Flute Cave, and the Li River, while experiencing the diverse cultures of local ethnic communities.

Tibet offers a striking contrast, with high-altitude landscapes, snow-capped mountains, and rich Tibetan cultural heritage. In Lhasa, you can visit iconic sites such as the Potala Palace, Sera Monastery, Drak Yerpa, and Barkhor Street before continuing to other parts of Tibet.
