One Day Li River Cruise Tour

In the morning, your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel at around 08:30, and then escort you to the Pier to take the Li River Cruise to Yangshuo. The boarding time is scheduled at 9:30am, and the whole journey takes about 4 hours. With your guide's company and explanations, you will immerse yourself in the stunning karst landscape made up of the rolling hills, verdant forests, odd caves and tranquil villages along the Li River. Around noon, a simple Chinese box lunch will be offered on board by the cruise company.

After disembarking from the cruise at around 2 pm, you will take a leisurely stroll on the famous West Street. Then you could choose to tour around the picturesque countryside of Yangshuo by vehicle or bicycle. You will also have a chance to visit a local farmer's house. There is no better ways than the family visit to know the local people and see their daily life. At the end of this Guilin Yangshuo tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Guilin, and the duration is about 1.5 hours.

We will arrange the 3-star cruise ship which includes a simple Chinese-style box lunch on board, and according to our experience, it is the most popular and cost-effective one.

Stretching for 83 kilometers (52 miles) from Guilin to Yangshuo, the Li River is just like an emerald belt traveling past the lush karst hills, oddly-shaped peaks and peaceful rural villages. Cruising through the most breathtaking sections at Caoping, Yangdi and Xingping, you will get a chance to sightsee the gorgeous gallery made up of essential spots, including Wangfu Rock, Crown Cave, Mural Hill and Yellow Cloth Shoal which is printed on the 20 RMB banknote. You may prepare a 20 RMB in advance and take a photo together when traveling through this area. In addition to the constantly changing karst vistas, you may also encounter the local fishermen rowing a narrow bamboo raft and casting their fishing nets in the river, and the farmers working in fields with buffaloes. The essence of the Guilin's landscape could be found in Yangshuo, which is crowned as one of the most beautiful villages in China and blessed with mild and favorable climate all year round. During your private tour, you could go deeper into the rural villages and keep far away from the urban hustle and bustle. What's more, Yangshuo is also a biking paradise with plenty of village trails and paths for visitors to take in the idyllic scenery. If you are obsessed with that, we can arrange a cycling tour along the Yulong River for you to discover more hidden gems like the Moon Hill, Big Banyan Tree and Water Cave, which will add much joy to your 1 day Guilin Li River cruise tour.
