Whether you’re coming into Guilin by train or plane your guide will be waiting for you – just keep an eye out for a sign with your name on it! The drive to our start point in the village of Pingan, nestled in the heart of the Longji Rice Terraces, will take around two hours: plenty of time to go over the week’s itinerary and answer any questions you may have. After all the gear is sorted, it's a 20 minute walk up to the guesthouse - we'll have porters on hand to help you with your gear if needed. Accommodation for the next two nights is in a local guesthouse with all amenities and some of the best food in the region. After check-in, you can head up to one of the viewpoints for sunset over the intricate network of rice terraces. We'll meet for a banquet dinner and celebrate the start of the adventure with some local specialities and perhaps some locally made rice wine!
