A heady mix of devastatingly beautiful landscapes, intriguing culture and sizzling hot cities. Yep – China is the destination when it comes to immersing yourself in the best of the old and new. Take an insiders tour from Hong Kong to Guilin for the ultimate Ying and Yang travel experience.
Begin in the urban playground of Hong Kong for a true taste of 21st century China. Hop over on the ferry to the downtown districts of Kwai Fong, Soho and Gough Street for quirky designer clothes, Chinese antiques and vibey al fresco dining.
After the hustle bustle and frenetic pace of the city, the mist-draped mountains, bamboo forests and ancient indigenous villages of Guilin await. An old Chinese saying even claims this scenery to be the “finest under heaven”. And we certainly don’t disagree.
Go the water way and meander along the Li River to Yangshuo or if your feeling slightly more intrepid head deep into the countryside for a stunning stay at the Li-An Lodge. This gorgeously ornate wooden structure, perched on the mountaintop of the ‘Dragon’s Backbone’, is the perfect place from which to spend your days exploring endless rice paddies and meeting the ethic people of the Zhuang and Yao minority tribes.
The perfect Asian adventure for the best of both worlds? Definitely.
