The best time to visit Guilin
Guilin experiences a long rainy season that typically spans from December to April, although the exact duration may vary each year. Consequently, the best time for photography is generally between May and October, with September and the middle of October being particularly favorable.
It is important to note that Guilin tends to be quite crowded during public holidays such as the May Labor Holiday (May 1-5), National Day Holiday (October 1-7), and the summer holiday period from July to August. This holds true not only for Guilin but for the entire country of China.
If you seek our recommendation for the best time to visit, we would suggest considering June, September, and the middle of October as ideal options.
For those interested in capturing the mesmerizing beauty of the yellow rice terraces in Longji, the best time window is relatively brief, spanning from the end of September to October 15th. During this period, you can witness the stunning transformation of the terraces, making it the ideal time for photography enthusiasts.
