A cruise along the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo is one of China’s most iconic travel experiences. The towering limestone karsts, misty peaks, and serene waters have inspired poets and painters for centuries.

• Take a Li River Cruise, passing famous formations like Nine Horse Fresco Hill and Yellow Cloth Shoal.
• Try bamboo rafting in Yangdi or Xingping, a peaceful way to glide through the stunning landscape.
• Explore West Street in Yangshuo, a lively hub filled with cafés, boutique shops, and local eateries.

Tip: The best time for a Li River cruise is spring or autumn, when the mist adds a mystical charm to the landscape.
