About Guangxi

Guangxi, in southern China, is a land of dramatic karst landscapes, lush rice terraces, and vibrant ethnic cultures. Its most iconic feature is the otherworldly scenery along the Li River, where towering limestone peaks rise from misty waters—a view immortalized in Chinese art. Beyond natural beauty, Guangxi is home to diverse ethnic groups, including the Zhuang, China’s largest minority, whose traditions enrich the region’s festivals, cuisine, and daily life. Visitors are drawn to Guangxi for its mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation: hike through the Longji Rice Terraces, explore the underground rivers and caves of Guilin, or unwind in the ancient town of Yangshuo, a hub for cycling, rock climbing, and river cruises. The region’s accessibility from major Chinese cities, combined with its unique blend of nature and culture, makes it a compelling destination for both first-time and repeat travelers to China.
