From the karst peaks of Yangshuo to the thousand-year-old rice terraces of Longji, this route unveils the two faces of Guilin in Guangxi. Cycle through the landscape in Yangshuo County, drift along the Yulong River on a bamboo raft or scale the cliffs at Yanbang Via Ferrata for a bird's-eye view. In Longji, the Shuyang Festival is in full swing: villagers honor the fields with rituals and transplant rice seedlings. As night falls, torches wind up the mountain, bonfires blaze, and the Red Yao women perform their iconic long-hair dances. CGTN host Julian Waghann and Filipina singer Eliza Arce journey through it all, from sweeping aerial vistas to the warmth of village life, offering a guide to the rhythm of Guilin.
