Guilin Chaping: Guangxi has its own Altay!

Guilin is truly a hidden gem—who knew Chaping could be such a fairyland on earth, and so easily accessible! This place feels nothing like typical Guilin, instead resembling Xinjiang with its vast alpine meadows, neatly arranged trees, and endless fields of yellow wildflowers. Xinjiang may be far, but Guilin is close! 📍Location: Chaping, Guilin. Navigate to Quanzhou Tianhu Chaping Hotel. 🚗Transport: Self-drive or join a tour (no public transport available). ⭐Difficulty: Beginner-friendly, very easy. ⏰Recommended visit time: 4-5 hours. 📒Must-wear: Sun-protective clothing, long sleeves/pants, and a hat—UV rays are intense here! Apply sunscreen to exposed skin. Bring trekking poles if you have them—great for photos! Pack snacks and water—no shops on the mountain for supplies.
