Guilin Li River One-day Group Tour to Yangshuo

You’ll be taken to your cruise boat, where you will depart on your cruise of the Li River. Lunch will be served during the boat ride. Gorgeous karst peaks give you surprises at each bend of the limpid river under the blue sky. Water buffalo patrol the fields, peasants reap rice paddies, and school kids and fisherman float by on bamboo rafts. With its breathtaking scenery and taste of a life far removed from the concrete metropolis, the scenery along the Li River become one of China's top tourist destinations.

 Some of the highlights you will see on your 5-hour cruise will be Elephant Trunk Hill, a hill resembling an Elephant taking water from its trunk, Pagoda Hill, just a few minutes away from the Elephant Trunk Hill, Daxu Town, an ancient river town, and of course you will also see local fisherman and workers over their normal course of work. The cruise down the Li River offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the local population here.

Lunch buffet is provided on the upper deck of the boat.
 

The cruise will end at the town of Yangshuo, a lush and exotic county that is surrounded by mountains and a place that includes ethnic groups from all over Asia. We’ll take a little stroll down Yanghsuo’s West Street, the oldest street in Yangshuo with a history of more than 1,400 years. Situated at the center of Yangshuo County, West Street has become a window of eastern and western culture and the biggest "foreign language center" in China. West Street is the most prosperous district in Yangshuo, and, each year, approximately 100,000 foreigners come here on their travels or to attend advanced studies. (30 min)
 

We’ll drive back to Guilin, and on the way back we’ll make a pit stop for a little shopping at a local market. Ethnic minority groups largely inhabit this area, so the crafts and wares at the market will be unique and fascinating.
