When people think of rock climbing, they usually imagine indoor concrete walls and colorful little rocks — but that’s not the case here. The karst peaks at the resort serve as natural climbing grounds. Though not towering, these karst peaks are sheer and steep, with clearly defined rock joints, crevices, and pits — making them perfect for climbing. And if you’re new to climbing, don’t worry about safety — there’s a professional team of G.Os (Gentle Organizers) to guide you. Successfully conquering a peak forest and seeing Guilin from a whole new perspective — now that’s one cool experience. You’ll definitely have stories to boast about when you get back!
