The Great Beauty of Li River Here comes the ultimate guide to exploring the Li River
A must-visit for anyone traveling to Guilin — the Li River🏞️, how should one enjoy it
Method One: Boat tour on the Great Li River🚢
Boat tours on the Great Li River are generally divided into☑️ three-star and ☑️four-star boats, with the scenery along the river being the same for both, but the boarding docks differ. The entire journey takes about 4️⃣ hours.
💰Ticket prices vary, and the meals provided on board differ as well; three-star boats usually offer a simple meal🍽️, while four-star boats provide a more comprehensive buffet lunch👩🏻🍳
The reason why the boat tour is called the Great Li River is that you can see all the beautiful scenery of the Li River throughout the journey🏝️🏝️
Method Two: Bamboo rafting on the Li River🚣♀️
Divided into 1⃣️ bamboo rafting on the Great Li River and 2⃣️ bamboo rafting on the Small Li River
Bamboo rafting on the Great Li River starts from Yangdi Dock and ends at Xingping Dock;
For bamboo rafting on the Small Li River, there are several options: Yangdi Dock to Nine Horses Painting Hill Dock, Nine Horses Painting Hill to Xingping Dock, and round trips from Xingping to Chaobanshan Dock
Method Three: Xingping boat tour on the Small Li River🛥️
Take a small boat in Xingping to tour the Small Li River, with a ⏳duration of about 90 minutes. 🚏The dock route is Xingping to Fishing Village and back, where you can see the reflection of the Yellow Cloth Shoal, the scene depicted on the 20 yuan note💴.
The boats in Xingping are smaller, and for those who have higher requirements for the boat cabin environment, it is recommended to take a three-star or four-star large cruise boat👍🏻
Method Four: Hiking along the Li River
Generally, you can choose to start hiking from Yangdi Dock to Nine Horses
Then, depending on time, decide whether to continue hiking to Xingping or take an electric cart to reach Xingping🛤️. It is safer to hike along the Li River with a local who is familiar with the route and experienced👷🏻♀️
Method Five: Biking along the Li River
Biking on the east bank of the Li River, near the Mopanshan Dock, along the Li River trail, you will have the chance to pass through villages and fields, eventually reaching Daxu Ancient Town🏡
Method Six: Overlooking the Li River from the mountaintop⛰️
🦩There are several mountains from which you can see the entire panorama of the Li River, and Xianggong Mountain is highly recommended for its safety and beautiful scenery. Xianggong Mountain is located within Xingping Town, Yangshuo, and you need to take a car🚗 to the foot of the mountain.
Usually, you either charter a car or join a tour group, then climb the stairs from the foot of the mountain to the top to see the panoramic view of the Li River.🌳 The view of the Li River from the top varies with the weather,
On a clear day, the entire Li River meanders and reveals its surface, on a cloudy or rainy day, you may have the chance to see the Li River surrounded by rain and mist

Yangshuo Two-Day Two-Night Travel Guide
🌞 Yangshuo Two-Day Two-Night Travel Guide 🌳✨
Time Suggestion: Yangshuo, a place that makes one's heart flutter. It is best to choose a time when the weather is warm, and set aside two days and two nights or two days and one night, so that you can fully experience the charm of this beautiful place.
🗺 Specific Itinerary 🚶♂🌄
**D1:**
In the morning at 10 o'clock, depart from Foshan, and take the much-anticipated high-speed train. At noon, at 12 o'clock, the sunshine sprinkles on Yangshuo Station, and the warm breath hits you in the face. After exiting the station, there are several options to go to Xingping Ancient Town: taking a taxi for about 18 yuan, or taking a direct bus for only 5 yuan. After arriving at Xingping, it's advisable to first enjoy an authentic lunch, then stroll on the stone streets of the ancient town, feeling the sediment of history, looking for the background spot of the twenty yuan bill to record the wonderful moments. Wander by the Li River, casually taking intoxicating photos. Around three or four in the afternoon, end the exploration of the ancient town and take a direct bus to Yangshuo County to check into a homestay (bus fare 15 yuan).
The homestay I chose is close to West Street, comfortable and convenient. After checking in and resting for a while, at six-thirty in the evening, I stepped out of the homestay again, blending into the lively atmosphere of West Street, tasting all kinds of delicious food, and feeling the exotic atmosphere. As night falls, I found a bar, ordered a drink, and quietly listened to the music, enjoying the tranquility of the night.
**D2:**
The next day, in the morning, the sunlight through the curtains sprinkles on the bed, waking up a beautiful day. We set off from the homestay to Ruyi Peak, about a 25-minute drive. The scenery from the top of the peak is breathtaking, making one feel as if they are in a fairyland. Although the ticket is a bit expensive, it is worth a visit, especially in clear weather, the photos taken are simply stunning.
At noon, we descend the mountain to enjoy a delicious lunch, then head to Shuierdi Wharf to prepare for the thrilling and romantic experience of bamboo rafting. The bamboo raft travels on the rippling Li River, with picturesque scenery, making one feel relaxed and happy. After reaching Gongnong Bridge Wharf, I chose the Ten-Mile Gallery, cycling or walking along the way, feeling the natural wonders.
As night falls, I returned to the West Street bar, spending a pleasant evening with friends, talking about life and sharing the bits and pieces of the trip.
🍽 Food Section 🍜🥢
In addition to enjoying the local specialties, I also recommend Guai Ge Dingguo Rice, a restaurant near Shuierdi Wharf, which is affordable and delicious, very authentic. Don't just pursue Beer Fish; sometimes, street food is the most authentic enjoyment!
🍹 Bar Section 🎶🥂
If you like quiet, you can go to the end of the alley Xiaoma's Heaven, where the music and drinks are very good, especially the singer, who has a beautiful voice. If you want a more lively atmosphere, the bars on West Street are also a good choice, and the prices are more affordable, suitable for the taste of young people. However, remember to stay sober and be careful of drink solicitors.
🏠 Homestay Section 🏡
Choosing a homestay a little further from West Street, you can enjoy a quiet resting environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and feel the tranquility and beauty of Yangshuo.
Looking forward to your trip to Yangshuo being a wonderful experience! 💼🌟
