Hi there,

We passed through Guilin during our trip to China, arriving by train from Beijing. The journey is quite long, but it actually became part of the experience: watching the landscapes gradually change, taking the Chinese high-speed train, and getting a better sense of the country’s vast distances. It was already a step of the journey in itself.

Once there, Guilin seemed like a nice place to catch our breath between big cities. The city isn’t huge, and there isn’t an endless list of things to see, but the atmosphere around the lakes, the Li River, and the karst mountains is really special.

In 3 days, you can already see the highlights without rushing: the Sun and Moon Pagodas, walks around the lakes, Seven Star Park with its monkeys, and possibly Elephant Trunk Hill—though we were a bit disappointed by the latter. Guilin is also a good base for heading to Yangshuo or the Longji rice terraces if you have more time.

We’ve put together our feedback, prices, visit times, and what we’d do (or skip) next time in this article, in case it helps you plan your stop: https://aventures-sans-mesaventure.com/que-faire-a-guilin-en-3-jours/

Hi, We just got back from a two-week independent trip to China in April 2025. The country can seem intimidating at first (language, transportation, payments), and the language barrier is very real, even in big cities. Our itinerary took us to Beijing, the Great Wall (Mutianyu), then to Guilin, the Longji Rice Terraces (Dazhai), and Wuhan. All travel was by train, subway, and DiDi (local Uber). We’ve put together our day-by-day itinerary and some practical tips based on our experience in this post—hope it helps for a first trip to China: https://aventures-sans-mesaventure.blogspot.com/2026/01/chine-itineraire-2-semaines.html Happy travels to those planning their trip!

Summary of my article: Visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum This museum is a deeply moving place that left a profound impact on us. Located in the heart of Peace Park, it doesn’t just recount history—it invites reflection on the consequences of war and the importance of preserving peace. Through poignant exhibits, multimedia testimonies, and striking artifacts like the tricycle of a child victim or the fossilized shadows, you grasp the full scale of the tragedy. Peace Park, with its iconic monuments such as the Genbaku Dome, the Cenotaph, and the Flame of Peace, extends this reflection in a solemn setting. In an article I wrote on the topic, I also explain how to organize your visit: transportation options, recommended routes through the park, and accommodations to fit every budget. And if you have extra time, I suggest exploring other must-see sites in Hiroshima, like the castle or Miyajima Island, to round out your stay. This is a place that moved and inspired us, and I hope my article will encourage you to discover it for yourself while carrying a message of remembrance and peace.

Hi there!

I’m reaching out because two friends and I are planning a one-year world cycling tour. We’ll cover 25,000 km across 30 countries, starting in September 2026. I’d love to share details about our route and budget through our Instagram account:

We’ll be adding posts as we continue our research (which is already well underway) to show you our gear, route, and budget—with plenty of practical details, of course!

Thanks so much to those who follow us—you’re helping us a lot, especially with finding sponsors!
