Dear Irene,
May is a good time to visit Guilin and Yangshuo. Suggest traveling after the Chinese Labor Day holiday to avoid domestic crowds.
Early May is part of the green season, so you may have some rain, but it’s usually light and helps create beautiful scenery — especially for the Li River cruise and the Longji Rice Terraces.
I’ve sent you a detailed itinerary and quotation by email. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts.
