      Who it’s for — and why

      • Two full days in the Longji Rice Terraces area allow ample time to absorb the layered contours at a relaxed pace, with no need to rush between viewpoints.
      • The private Li River cruise ships offer quiet, seated observation of Huangbu Reflection and Nine Horses Mountain—no climbing or walking required.
      • Yulong River Rafting is gentle and slow-moving, with flat stretches ideal for those who prefer calm water over exertion.
      • Daxu Ancient Town and Solitary Beauty Peak Prince City Scenic Area feature level pathways and shaded, low-step access throughout.
