Location & Accessibility

Ocean Village sits in Lingchuan County, just a short drive from Guilin city in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Tucked between rolling hills and rice paddies, it’s easy to reach by car (about 1 hour from Guilin downtown) or via a scenic bus ride. Nearby Guilin Liangjiang International Airport and Guilin Railway Station make it accessible for travelers.

Nature’s Golden Canvas

Ocean Village is famous for its ginkgo forests, which blanket the area like nature’s artwork. These ancient trees line fields, cottages, and streams, creating a “where there are people, there are ginkgo trees” vibe. In late autumn (November–December), the leaves turn sunny yellow. When the wind blows, golden leaves flutter like butterflies, covering the ground in a glittering, jewel-toned carpet. Bring your camera—sunset here looks straight out of a fairy tale!

Off-the-Beaten-Path Charm

Unlike crowded tourist spots, Ocean Village feels peaceful. Stroll through narrow lanes where ginkgo trees lean over stone bridges and wooden houses. Local farmers often work in fields surrounded by golden-hued trees, offering a glimpse into rural Chinese life. The village’s simplicity contrasts beautifully with the dramatic colors of the ginkgo season.
