Customize this journeyThe journey, at a glance
A route to make
your own.
A compact, active route from Guangzhou into northern Guangdong’s limestone country. Tea-garden experiences and Dongtian Wonderland lead into an overnight around Yingxi, followed by Gulong Gorge. The original programme is ambitious for two days; the final activity selection must match your pace and the available time.
- Discuss a T3 tea-garden visit and seasonal hands-on tea activities.
- Visit the balloon camp as a photo stop, not a guaranteed flight.
- Explore Dongtian Wonderland and countryside scenery.
- Request rafting, waterfalls and selected Gulong Gorge attractions.
Who this journey suits
Active travellers who want tea landscapes, caves and a possible rafting day.
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 · T3 / Yingxi / DongtianTea hills, a balloon camp and cave scenery
Travel from Guangzhou towards T3 Tea Garden. Tea tasting and hands-on tea activities can be arranged where available, followed by a proposed photo stop at the Letian balloon camp.
The source continues through countryside stops around Xiao Zhaozhou Bridge, Heshun and Guanyin Valley before Dongtian Wonderland. Settle into the Yingxi area for the night.
Confirm seasonal tea activities, camp access and cave opening. The balloon stop does not include a flight; trim stops if necessary to reach the cave in time.
02Day 2 · Gulong GorgeGulong Gorge and the return to Guangzhou
Continue to Gulong Gorge for a proposed rafting experience when operating and suitable. After time to change and rest, discuss a Qingyuan-style steamed chicken meal.
The afternoon suggests waterfall scenery, Yuntian Boba glass-viewing areas and a cliff-coaster option before returning to Guangzhou. Choose a realistic combination of activities rather than assuming every attraction can be completed.
Rafting and rides depend on operator rules, weather and tickets. Agree a non-rafting plan where needed and confirm the return time.
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
This is an active, transfer-heavy two-day proposal, not a low-effort sightseeing break.
A balloon-camp photo stop is not an included balloon flight.
Outdoor operations and eligibility must be checked before confirmation; do not rely on old brochure height or weather rules.
A few useful answers
Before we begin.
Does the balloon camp visit include a flight?
No. The day-by-day source specifies taking photos at the camp. A flight would need a separate, confirmed request and is not part of this displayed proposal.
What if I do not want to raft?
Discuss a sightseeing alternative at Gulong Gorge. Its timing, tickets and any waiting arrangements must be agreed with the rest of the group’s plan.
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.
