Great experience - not to be missed but take a poncho if sky threatens rain. The journey is about 20 mins up and 20 down. We were soaked as it rained heavily half way down. Great views of the locality. When the local lads turn 18 they are expected to walk up - about 6 hours. Taboggan ride down from... More

We went mid April on a very clear day (blue sky) with a temperature around 18-20 degrees, so we were hoping to have a nice view. Unfortunately the hills were all covered by the fog. I dont know at what kind of weather and what time of the year one can go to get a good view but mid April... More

I enjoyed getting out of the city and seeing some different scenery. The ski lift ride up the mountain was enjoyable, private and allowed us to see different places and things. The cavern was most beautiful and was very attractively illuminated. This alone was worth the trip. The toboggan slide to get to the bottom was something different and fun.... More

It is one of the most beautiful Karst caves in China and consists of a varieties of glamorous stalactites, stalagmites, stone curtains, stone flowers and stone pillars formed in different geological periods, some as high as tens of meters, imposing, spectacular, mysterious and exquisite. It is radiated by fantastic lighting and spotlights like diamonds and silvers. It never fails to... More

Our cab driver took us here. We were a bit unsure about it until we actually got onto the chairlift, where we experienced some absolutely breathtaking views of the scenery. Once you arrive at the top, there's an area to walk around and take in the beauty. You can then head back down - half way down there is a... More

Good place where you could enjoy the bird view of Guilin and it's significant mountain view. However, one should beware of scam: Tour guides would lead visitor to a small temple to get ribbon for wish making. Visitor is told, in order to get rid of bad luck, he/she should make donation to the temple. My personal advice is, just... More

As an official resident of Guilin,moto-bike up-downhill become one of my "drug".When summer comes or luckily coming aross a sunny day,there's no doubt for me heading to Yaoshan Mountain with my moto-friend. We also have barbecue-picnic on mountain top at night.Girls and boys like this kind of activity deeply,especially for single ones.It's an enchanted moment when a girl/boy admiring in... More

It was kind of scary riding their open cable car up and down Yaoshan. It was foggy at the mountain top even if downtown Guilin was clear & bright sunny day. The place needs more development. The trader from Xiamen selling different kinds of mushroom & tea at the entrance of the cable car station was such a good salesman... More
