Guilin is renowned for the beauty of its landscapes and the wealth of its culture.

Located closeby:

• The city of Guilin is 45 km from Club Med.

The landscapes of Guilin are among the most beautiful in China. The enchanting beauty of its karstic landscapes give their characteristic shape to the banks of the River Li, attracting millions of visitors from China and around the world. The city gets its name from the osmanthus, a local tree that gives pretty red or white flowers from June to July. Guilin means “the osmanthus forest”. Travel time: a 45-minute drive

• Yangshuo is 60 km from Club Med.

The western world discovered this town thanks to the backpackers who would stop over on their travels through China. It is now a thriving destination for shopping and tourists, with music playing on every street corner and terrace cafés. The surrounding area is beautiful and well worth exploring. Travel time: a one-hour drive.
