About this activity

Escape the crowds on a full-day private excursion from Guangzhou to Huangyao, a serene ancient town in Guangxi Province untouched by mass tourism. Travel via comfortable round-trip bullet train and explore traditional architecture, local culture, and authentic Chinese villages with a personal guide and included lunch.

Huangyao Ancient Town is situated in Hezhou, Guangxi Province in China, which is a quiet and nice old town where there are few tourists. This private day tour will let you explore the town from Guangzhou by round-way bullet train. Chinese lunch is included, and pickup time is 8am from your centrally located Guangzhou hotel. Please note this is a long day tour.

Insider tips

  • ★Wear comfortable walking shoes—the old town is built on uneven stone paths with no modern infrastructure
  • ★Bring cash in Chinese yuan; few establishments accept cards in this remote area
  • ★Ask your guide to introduce you to local artisans; many welcome visitors into their workshops for genuine conversations
  • ★The town is genuinely quiet; visit early in your guide's route to experience it at its most peaceful before any other day-trippers arrive

Good to know

  • •Limited accessibility for mobility challenges—narrow, steep cobbled streets with no lifts or modern facilities
  • •Private tour means no large group delays; confirm guide language preference at booking
