About Guilin for Solo Travelers
China's most painterly landscape — limestone karst peaks rising from rice paddies and the Li River, best experienced by solo travelers who cruise downstream and then cycle through the countryside at their own pace.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Guilin's karst mountain landscape along the Li River is one of China's most iconic — the Li River cruise to Yangshuo is best booked through your hostel, which naturally groups solo travelers together. Yangshuo itself (the end of the cruise) is excellent for solo exploration by bicycle. Download WeChat and WeChat Pay before arrival as cashless payment is universal. VPN is essential for Google Maps and Instagram.
