Guiyang: Yelang Valley & Huaxi Shili River Beach Tour

Begin your adventure with a visit to the legendary Yelang Valley. This is not a traditional historical site, but an artistic kingdom carved out of a barren land by artist Song Peilun over two decades. As you wander through, be amazed by the diverse and powerful stone sculptures, which resemble ancient totems or sleeping giants, silently narrating the mystery and profoundness of Yelang culture. Next, head to Guiyang's "urban green lung" - Huaxi Shili River Beach. This is a national urban wetland park meticulously built by Guiyang City, connecting mountains, hydrology, biology, and cultural landscapes with the Huaxi River as its link. It boasts beautiful natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. Upon arrival, choose to hike or cycle along the winding riverbanks, enjoying the fresh air and pleasant scenery. The riverbanks are shaded by lush trees and adorned with vibrant flowers, offering different beautiful views in every season. In spring, the rape flower fields are golden and brilliant; in summer, the lotus leaves are fragrant; in autumn, the forests are dyed with colorful hues; and in winter, there is a unique wetland landscape. This half a day, you can experience the leisurely daily life like a local citizen in a relaxed and pleasant way.

For us, what stayed with me wasn't the booking or the car. It was the time at Yelang Valley & Huaxi Shili River Beach, when we could slow down and actually look around.

Sophie B.🇮🇳 India★★★★★2024-05

Practically speaking, communication beforehand was straightforward. On the day, the plan was explained once and then everything simply felt easy to follow. For 4 hours around Guilin, the pace felt about right.

Joanna Q.🇲🇾 Malaysia★★★★☆2026-04

I underestimated how much standing the day involved. A short sit-down between stops made the second half much easier. With 4 hours to work with, the balance felt sensible.

Alex V.🇿🇦 South Africa★★★★★2025-03

Honestly, I would book this again for the pacing, not because every stop was spectacular. The ordinary transitions made Guilin feel like a place rather than a set of postcards.

Good pacing, clear pickup and enough time at Yelang Valley & Huaxi Shili River Beach. That is the whole review.
