Itinerary

Li River Cruise & Yangshuo Day Trip

In the morning, your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel lobby. (Our guide will contact you in advance to confirm the pickup time). Prepare yourself for a relaxing half day river cruise that departs from Zhujiang Pier. The Li River has inspired poets, philosphers, scholars, and peasants with its remarkable karst landscape. Meader past these unique limestone formations that conjure up images of China from a bygone era. There will be ample opportunities for photos as you cruise to Yangshuo.

On arrival in Yangshuo, you’ll appreciate the slower pace and country feel of this small rural town. Take advantage of the opportunity to wander through West Street, reputedly the oldest in Yangshuo. Here you can sample the local food, have a coffee break and find your favourite souvenirs.

Learn more about how the Li River is a central tenet of local people’s lives when you board a bamboo raft and enjoy the opportunity to absorb the beauty of Yulong River Scenic Area from the water. Admire the gorgeous rural view with the karst mountains as the backdrop before you return to your Guilin hotel by car.

Tripadvisor score Chinatours Beijing with Linda Sun

March 2025

So far our experience with Chinatours has been excellent. Starting with the communication by email with Lora, to the time we spent with Linda (our local guide in Beijing).

Traveling to a country where the culture and language are so different from what we are accustomed to can be unnerving, but so far Linda, Lora, and our driver in Beijing, Mr Zhou, have kept us informed, put us at ease and made our visit as comfortable as possible.
