China Hot Air Ballooning – Guilin/ Yangshuo China

Outback Ballooning, Australia’s longest established and favourite international ballooning company has recently established a joint venture near Guilin in China. The combination of the spectacular scenery, consistently reliable weather and highest standard of operation is certain to see this become the world’s premiere ballooning experience.

Now for the first time international visitors will be able to experience this truly spectacular area from the air in balloons operated to the highest international standards. China Hot Air Ballooning is the only ballooning operator able to offer this security. China Hot Air Ballooning combines the local knowledge of Yangshuo’s longest established balloon company with the modern expertise and international standards from Australia’s Outback Ballooning.

With this team we can guarantee you the safest and most rewarding balloon flight available in Yangshuo. Yangshuo is perhaps China’s best known tourist town with its sensational mountain landscape. It has inspired Chinese artists and poets for centuries. From the balloon you will witness stunning views of the hills interspersed by century old farms. The Guilin / Yangshuo Valley with the Li river meandering through hundreds of limestone hills is one of the world’s iconic sights.

Transfers from Guilin and Yangshuo will be part of the world class service. The service will include English language speakers on site for all pre and post flight briefings. Group transfers will be accompanied by interpreters to assist guests from their accommodation to the balloon launch sites amidst the Yangshuo hills. ‘The incredible Yangshuo landscape can only be truly appreciated from the air’ We also have DVD’s with a video presentation, CD’s with photos for print, brochures and other promotional material available on request, just email us at sales@chinahotairballooning.com
