Philippine Citizen Visiting Guilin

Hi I'm a Philippine citizen. I would like to visit Guilin for 6 days so I don't need a tourist visa yet? There is no direct flight from the Philippines to Guilin so I have to do a connecting flight to Guangzhou then to Guilin. Will I be required to have an entry permit because of this donestic connecting flight? Do I need to contact local travel agencies in Guilin prior to my arrival for the visa exempt?
