If you prefer less rainfall and warm to mild, mostly sunny days, autumn—spanning from September to November—is the ideal time to visit.

 

This pleasant weather creates a perfect setting for couples looking to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, or other special moments in a romantic atmosphere.

 

The best time to explore Guilin is during April, May, September, and October. With average temperatures ranging from 25 to 28°C, these months offer comfortable weather and moderate rainfall, ensuring ideal conditions for sightseeing.

Spring (March to May) brings light drizzles that swell the Li River, enhancing its mystical charm. The misty rain and fog create an ethereal atmosphere, making a Li River cruise feel like gliding through a dreamlike landscape. By April, the Longji Terraced Fields glisten with water, reflecting the surrounding mountains in a mesmerizing display of natural beauty.

​

Autumn (September and October) ushers in cooler, drier days, perfect for appreciating Guilin’s scenic wonders. The Li River appears even more pristine, providing stunning views as you float toward the iconic 20 Yuan banknote spot near Xingping Town. It’s also harvest season, where the golden rice fields of Yangshuo paint a picturesque countryside scene, ideal for cycling. Meanwhile, the Longji Terraces burst into a breathtaking cascade of gold, offering a spectacular sight and a joyous celebration of the harvest.
