From Avatar's floating peaks to the Terracotta Army — one iconic sight from each of our seven destinations.

The viewpoint for the first great bend of the Li River — a sunrise favourite with wide, open views, made for photographers.

The very best of the Li River — the 20-yuan banknote view, Yellow Cloth Shoal and Nine Horse Fresco Hill are all here. Choose a 4-hour cruise from Mopanshan or a 1-hour bamboo raft at Xingping.

The symbol of Guilin — the hill that looks like an elephant drinking from the river. Free to visit, best in the evening, and the classic photo is from Gate 3.
