Full description

Take this Li River cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo which is the highlight of any trip to northeastern Guangxi Province. Gorgeous Karst peaks give you a surprise at every bend of the limpid river under the blue sky. Water buffaloes sprawl in the fields, peasants reap rice paddies, and school kids and fishermen float by on bamboo rafts. With its breathtaking scenery, life on the river is a taste of a life far from the bustling metropolis.

Your day will begin with a pickup at 8:00am in the morning from your hotel in Guilin. From here, you will travel to Zhujiang pier, where you will board the cruise boat. The cruise lasts approximately 4 hours (from 9:30am to 13:30pm). During this time you will enjoy stunning scenery of the Li River.

Finally, to finish the day, you will enjoy a stroll through downtown Yangshuo with a roam down to the famous West Street. Your day will end at approximately 3 pm, when you are dropped off back at your hotel.

Although we had booked and paid for the tour 2 months in advance, it was only the day before that we were contacted to inform us that it was not possible to purchase tickets for the scheduled date and time. Only after some persistence and being unable to change the date, we got tickets for the chosen day, but at a different time, which resulted in changes to our plans. Finally, the price paid was higher than other tour operators found locally. Apart from these issues, the river tour was very nice and lunch on board was also included.
