Take the family to Guilin Taohua River and spend a quiet afternoon strolling along the water's edge. There's something about being by a river that makes you feel calm and peaceful.
This flowing body of water is free to visit, which is welcome news if you're on a budget. Guilin Taohua River is located in Xiufeng. Once you've seen this place, Elephant Trunk Hill, Seven-Star Park and Reed Flute Cave are in the area and also worth a look.
