Li River · Karst peaks
The classic Chinese landscape — cruise the Li River, cycle through Yangshuo's karst countryside.
The viewpoint for the first great bend of the Li River — a sunrise favourite with wide, open views, made for photographers.
The very best of the Li River — the 20-yuan banknote view, Yellow Cloth Shoal and Nine Horse Fresco Hill are all here. Choose a 4-hour cruise from Mopanshan or a 1-hour bamboo raft at Xingping.
The symbol of Guilin — the hill that looks like an elephant drinking from the river. Free to visit, best in the evening, and the classic photo is from Gate 3.
The Li River cruise runs four hours from Guilin to Yangshuo past the peaks on the twenty-yuan note. Which pier, which boat class, which side of the deck, and when the water level changes the route.
Guilin has three railway stations, an airport 30 km west, and two very different ways to reach Yangshuo. Which station and which route you pick changes the trip by hours.
“We used YOUXIAOER for a custom honeymoon across Zhangjiajie and Guilin. The concierge handled every detail in advance, and the whole trip flowed seamlessly. Pure-play experience, just stunning scenery and great food.”
