Is there luggage weight limit?

For the check-in luggage, passengers holding an adult fare or half fare ticket are entitled to a free baggage allowance of 40kg (88 pounds) for first class, and 30kg (66pounds) for business class, while20kg (44 pounds) for economy class. No free baggage allowance is granted to infants. If your luggage is over the limitation, you will need to pay for the excess weight, and some of the airports in China(such as Guilin airport) are quite strict with this.
For the carry-on luggage, total weight of carry-on baggage for each passenger may not exceed 5kg (11 pounds). First class passengers may carry up to 2 pieces. All other passengers may carry on only one piece. The size may not exceed 20x40x55cm. Carry- on baggage in excess of the limit is subject to an excess baggage fee and must be carried as checked baggage.

 

What items should I prepare for a tour to Guilin?

It is often rains in Guilin, so you'd better carry about an umbrella. We also recommend you bring some standing medicines, such as cold medicine and antidiarrheal.
Besides the things above, you can take the necessities according to the different seasons:

In Spring: In the rainy season, besides take the umbrella, you should wear the waterproof shoes. And it remains a little cold in Guilin, so it is wise to take a thin sweater with you.

In Summer: Take the anti-mosquito lotion, sunscreen, cool and refreshing oil with you to prevent be bitten by the mosquito and to prevent the sunstroke. If not take an umbrella, you'd better wear a sun bonnet to protect yourself from the sun's rays. Also not forget to take a thin coat, for the temperature difference is a little large between day and night.

In Autumn: The weather is still a little hot in Guilin, so you needn't to wear the thick coat in the day. But the temperature difference is a little large between day and night, sometimes you maybe need the thicker coat in the evening. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the air was heavy with the aroma of sweet osmanthus, if you are allergic to pollen, remember to take the anti-allergen.

In Winter: The temperature is low and the wind blowing hard in some days, so the dust coat, the gloves and other winter wear are needed to take. Though there has little snow in Guilin, but occasionally the road will be frozen in some very cold days, therefore, it is wise to wear a pair of antiskid shoes.
