- Combine Huangchuan river scenery with a Yao cultural visit.
- Try a proposed soy-milk workshop and T3 tea-garden afternoon.
- Finish with Yongqing Fang, Cantonese tea and Guangzhou’s riverside tram.

The itinerary
Let the days unfold.
A reference plan, with room for your own interests. Final visits and timings are agreed in your proposal.
01Day 1 · GuangzhouArrive in Guangzhou
Settle into your hotel after arrival. Keep the rest of the day free for a short neighbourhood walk or a meal nearby, depending on how you feel after the journey.
Confirm arrival transfer and hotel arrangements.
02Day 2 · Gulong GorgeFrom city streets to Gulong Gorge
Leave Guangzhou for Gulong Gorge and spend the day with its canyon, waterfall and glass-viewing scenery. Choose the activities and amount of walking to suit your party.
Stay in the gorge area rather than returning to Guangzhou tonight.
Confirm the attraction package and accommodation; rafting is not automatically included.
03Day 3 · LianzhouLianzhou’s underground landscape
Travel towards Lianzhou for its Underground River. Cave passages and the proposed boat section reveal another side of Guangdong’s limestone scenery.
Continue to the proposed Yao-culture hotel, where an optional bath can be discussed as a leisure experience.
Confirm the boat section, hotel and bath arrangements. No therapeutic benefit is promised.
04Day 4 · Huangchuan / Yao villageHuangchuan and a Yao cultural encounter
Begin with a proposed cruise through Huangchuan Three Gorges, then devote the afternoon to Yao village culture. The source mentions Youling and an Impressions of the Guoshan Yao programme, while its detailed schedule uses a more general village description.
Your final plan will name the village and any booked performance, rather than treating different venues as interchangeable.
The exact village, cultural programme and performance must be confirmed; do not assume both villages or every show.
05Day 5 · Yingxi / T3 Tea GardenSoy milk, village scenery and tea
Continue to Yingde for a proposed stone-ground soy-milk workshop and tofu meal. Explore the countryside around Xiao Zhaozhou Bridge and Xiaoyulin Dam, with Heshun Cave included in the suggested route.
T3 Tea Garden and Camel Peak views provide the late-afternoon focus before dinner and a countryside overnight.
This is a full day. Confirm workshops, meal, access and pacing; Camel Peak is a photo stop, not a promised climb.
06Day 6 · GuangzhouGuangzhou old streets and the riverside tram
Return to Guangzhou for a proposed Cantonese tea meal at Tao Tao Ju, then explore Yongqing Fang, the Cantonese Opera Art Museum and Bruce Lee’s Ancestral Home as access allows.
The late-day proposal shifts to Zhujiang New Town, the riverside tram, Huacheng Square and exterior views of Canton Tower. It does not add a tower ascent or evening cruise automatically.
Confirm museum opening, meal reservation and the actual tram boarding point and route.
07Day 7 · GuangzhouDepart from Guangzhou
Check out and leave according to your confirmed flight or train arrangements. Keep any free time local so the final transfer remains comfortable.
Confirm the departure point and transfer timing.
Before you decide
The practical details.
Your confirmed quotation specifies the services included in your journey.
Where you stay
The accommodation plan is a proposal. Exact hotels, room types, occupancy and availability are confirmed in your individual quotation.
Getting around
Arrival and departure points, vehicle arrangements, intercity travel and guiding are specified in your quotation. International travel is not automatically included.
Make it yours
Discuss your preferred pace, rooms, meals and activity choices with us before confirming. Changes depend on availability and may affect the quotation.
Good to know
The exact Day 4 village and cultural programme need confirmation because the source uses different names.
The Guangzhou finale is a tram-and-waterfront proposal, distinct from the existing cruise version.
Baths, performances, workshops and food arrangements are individually confirmed.
A few useful answers
Before we begin.
How does this differ from your other seven-day Qingyuan route?
This version returns to Guangzhou for the Cantonese Opera Art Museum, Zhujiang New Town and a proposed riverside tram ride. The other version ends its city sightseeing with Beijing Road and a Pearl River cruise.
Which Yao village will we visit?
The source names Youling in its outline but uses a general village description elsewhere. Your confirmed itinerary will specify the actual village and any booked performance.
How is this journey priced?
This is a reference itinerary, not a fixed-price package. Your dates, party size, rooms, transport, activities and guide arrangements determine an individual quotation. Only services listed in that confirmed quotation are included.
Is an English-speaking guide included?
Guide language, guiding days and driver-only sections must be agreed in your quotation. An English itinerary does not mean English-speaking guiding is automatically included.
Can you adapt the pace and meals?
Tell us about walking preferences, children’s ages and dietary needs before we prepare a proposal. We will check feasible changes with the relevant venues; specialist meals and accessibility are not assumed.
