Transfer from Yangshuo to Ruyi Peak & Round way cable car ticket
I asked Andy in e-mail if he could arrange for me a private round way afternoon transfer from Yangshuo to Ruyi Peak, but I did not know the arriving time to Yangshuo of my Li River Cruise boat (I booked for the Li River Cruise at an other operator). Andy said no problem, he just asked me to send him a message with my boat number in the morning when I depart from Guilin, and the driver will wait for me at Yangshuo Pier. When I did it in the morning, he asked me to send him my passport number for the booking of the Ruyi Peak cable car ticket. And when my boat arrived to Yangshuo Pier in the early afternoon, the driver was there and was waiting for me. We got into the car and after a 40 minutes drive we arrived to the Ruyi Peak cable car station. The driver collected my round way ticket at the ticket office and said (with translator app) that he will be waiting for me at the parking area. After that I visited the Ruyi Peak. There were no crowd but it was a common weekday. The magical landscape around Yangshuo with the many of the karst hills comes into our sight during the cable car ride. Then we can reach the peak with a short uphill hike. To reach the peak we have to walk across a 150 m long suspension bridge first, which is quite awesome but really secure and enjoyable. On the peak itself there are three panorama terraces established, the highest-seated one is a round terrace providing a 360 degrees panorama view to the marvelous scenery of the many of the karst hills around the peak. Because I had short of time in the afternoon and I still had to get back to Gulin, I took only a short trip in the Ruyi Peak Area, but it was really worth it. After visiting the panorama terrace I got back to the cable car station in the shortest way (walking through the suspension bridge again) and descended with the cable car down to the entrance of the area. There the driver was waiting for me in the car and then he transfered me back to Yangshuo. He asked me where could he drop me off in Yangshuo, and when I said I had to catch a bus which takes me back to Guilin, he took me to the stop of the long distance bus. He even helped me there to buy the ticket for the bus (from a lady who sold the bus tickets), and he was kindly waited with me till the bus arrived and I got on it. I am really thankful to Andy and his Driver for organising and carrying out this perfect private tour for me in a short time, and I highly recommend them in Yangshuo if someone would like to visit the amazing Ruyi Peak Area.

Guilin beauty by cable car
Travel Guilin with a different experience....Amazing view and excellent infrastructure. Complete the full course to appreciate the beauty of nature and dragon like infrastructure.

Half-Day Yangshuo Ruyi Peak with the English Speaking Driver from Guilin Hotel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guilin.
How much does Half-Day Yangshuo Ruyi Peak with the English Speaking Driver from Guilin Hotel cost?
+
Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Guilin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half-Day Yangshuo Ruyi Peak with the English Speaking Driver from Guilin Hotel take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Guilin is not rushed.
Is Half-Day Yangshuo Ruyi Peak with the English Speaking Driver from Guilin Hotel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Guilin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Yangshuo Ruyi Peak with the English Speaking Driver from Guilin Hotel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half-Day Yangshuo Ruyi Peak with the English Speaking Driver from Guilin Hotel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Yangshuo Ruyi Peak with the English Speaking Driver from Guilin Hotel?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Guilin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Guilin and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Yangshuo Ruyi Peak with the English Speaking Driver from Guilin Hotel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Guilin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Guilin?
+
On Outty we rank every Guilin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 1 Day Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo with Private Guide & Driver, 1-DAY Private Longji Rice Terraces and Minority Villages Tour, Longji Rice Terraces with Minority Village Private Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Guilin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Guilin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
