- Li River Cruise: A cruise along the Li River between Guilin and Yangshuo is an unforgettable experience. Li River is the soul of a tour of Guilin. As you take the cruise along the river to Yangshuo, it is like sailing down a painting scroll with picturesque landscapes, such as the reflections of oddly-shaped peaks, limped waters, green hills, shepherd boys sing songs and fishermen going fishing, making everyone gasp in admiration. The scenery is charming and graceful, with clean waters lingering around and queer peaks reflected in water. That’s why former people described it as “one hundred meters of the Li River, one hundred meters of an art gallery”.
