The Tour of Guangxi will close out the Women's WorldTour calendar in 2023. The one-day race is held on October 17 in Guilin on the same day as the final stage of the men's six-day Gree-Tour of Guangxi.
The women's event returns after a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is held several days after the conclusion of the Tour of Chongming Island, won by Chiara Consonni (UAE Team ADQ).
The one-day race is suited to the sprinters or could see a reduced field sprint given the mid-race climbs. The previous three winners were Maria Vittoria Sperotto won the inaugural event in 2017, Arlenis Sierra won in 2018, and Chloe Hosking won the last held edition in 2019.

The riders then descend into the last 30km, which are flat before the finish in Guilin.
