About this activity

Escape Guangzhou for a full-day immersion into rural Guangdong, combining a thousand-year-old Yao ethnic village with an underground river cave system. This private tour showcases both cultural heritage and dramatic geology, with traditional architecture and a scenic boat ride through an 1,860-metre cavern.

At 7:30am, your guide will meet you at your hotel lobby in the centrally located Guanzhou hotel with a signage writing your name. Then, you will take 3-hour ride to the well-persevered  Thousand-year Yao Village where you will see the Yao girls dressing up traditionally, and the old wooden houses on the hill. 
Afterwards you will have lunch at local restaurant before visiting the  Lianzhou Underground River that is natural cave with a length of 1860 meters, and you will take a boat on the underground river to view the stalagmite, stalactite, rocks and waterfall in the huge cave.
Later you will be transferred back to your Guangzhou hotel where the tour concludes.
