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.

Our 5 city tour started in Beijing with Rita as our guide. She was eager, energetic and had the best snacks waiting for us upon arrival! She had great recommendations for restaurants and feedback on the local spots. She definitely set the tone for our 11 day trip and made our stay in Beijing enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for everything, Rita!

Apr 2025 • Couples

China Tours was amazing to work with. They were so accessible and accommodating to any challenges. They planned the sites based on the day and conditions and experience. The driver and the guide were very nice and helpful. They take great care in assisting and they are very personable to make you at ease. I highly recommend their private tour options. The sites were amazing and I will continue to use them for other cities. My experience at Beijing was extraordinary.
