About This Experience

Guilin transforms after sunset. The karst peaks that dominate the daytime skyline become dramatic silhouettes, while the lakes and rivers come alive with colourful reflections. A night stroll through the city centre reveals a completely different side of this iconic landscape.

What to Expect

The lakeside promenade around Shanhu (Fir Lake) and Ronghu (Banyan Lake) is the heart of Guilin's nightscape. The Sun and Moon Pagodas glow golden and silver on the water's edge, creating perfect reflections. Walking along the waterfront, you'll encounter illuminated bridges, local musicians, and the quiet beauty of karst peaks lit against the night sky.

Practical Tips

• The Twin Pagodas are most photogenic just after sunset during blue hour
• Bring a camera with good low-light capability
• The lakeside walk is flat and accessible, perfect for an evening stroll
• Street food vendors line the pedestrian areas near the lakes
