Amazing scenary cruise
This cruise is a must if you are in the area! Not only a transportation between Guilin and Yangshuo but a wonderful and unique experience. It's a 4 hours trip and you have lunch included. We took the 4 stars boat in VIP and I would say is worth it.
You can book a ticket with an agency or buy the tickets at the tourist office where you will sabe some money.
Guilin's peole are very kind and you can find amazing places with top views. Yangshuo has a vibe that not many places have!
This cruise was one of the top things to do in the area together with Yangshuo that was incredible!

Li River Cruise in Guilin
The ticket cost RMB65 for a journey of 1.5 hours. The boat is quite comfortable with a lower and upper deck. The cruise along the Li river covers most of the mountains surrounding Guilin and the Elephant Trunk Hill. There are snacks and beverages available for sale but recommended to bring your own beverages or snacks on the boat. Besides explaining about the scenic sights, the tour guide is also busy promoting food and beverages and souvenirs for sales. If you have visited
most of the scenic spots in Guilin or do not have
much time to spend in Guilin, this excursion can be omitted from your itinerary. #lijiang #cruise

Li River - not just a bomb when on 20Y notes in your pocket 😉
Early morning pick-up at the hotel and transfer for about 45min to port.
Check-in as smooth as always, given you got your passport ready for inspection.
Three Star Cruise boat fair enough and totally sufficient as one spends significant time on the top deck to indulge in the very special scenery, which can also be found on the 20Y note.
Along the way - Bamboo boats, Fishermen, local ferries and plenty of breathtaking mountains, forests… .
Lunch Boxes provided, but own can be brought without any problems. Do not forget sunscreen or a hat on sunny days - along with a longsleeve for the arctic temps in the cabin
Not the cheapest treat but well worth it!

Mesmerizing Li River 🏞
Yangshuo is one of the five most beautiful scenic places in China. With that, the best, most beautiful, and more ideal way for both a transfer and a sightseeing experience during your natural scenery exploration in Guilin is to take the Li River crouse from Gulin to Yangshuo (However, there is no Li River cruise back from Yangshuo to Guilin at present.
Li River offers the best chance for your complete appreciation of the picturesque Guilin Karst mountain landscape in total leisure. With the soft breeze, you will encounter the marvelous scene of the Nine-Horse Fresco, a famous lively image on the back of the 20 RMB note. There are two comfort levels of cruises 3 stars and 4 stars.
Suggested:
I suggest staying 1 or 2 nights in Gulin and then taking an early morning cruise to Yangshuo and staying another 2 days there.

To book the Li River cruse tickets, you can book through the official platform of Li River Cruise, however, which can only be completed on the Official Account on WeChat.

China’s Flag in the Wind
As we celebrate China’s National Day, let’s embrace the beautiful flag as it blows majestically in the wind!!! And what better place to see the flag fly, than on the Li River!?! Indeed, taking a Li River cruise is the perfect way to see the amazing natural scenery surrounding Guilin. I have taken this trip three times now, and each time I love to capture a dramatic photo of the Chinese flag blowing majestically in the wind. This is also a perfect place to introduce guests from abroad to China. I took a Swedish friend here recently and he loved it.#flagship #China #Nationalpride #guangxi #yangshuo
