Four-Star Li River Cruise Ship (Yangdi-Caoping or Caoping-Yangdi section)
This section represents the essence of the Li River's landscape. Karst peaks rise continuously along both banks above the clear, emerald-green water.
Li River Scenic Area
The Li River is famous for its "four unique features": green mountains, clear water, mysterious caves, and beautiful stones. Classic sights along the way include the Nine-Horse Mural Hill (a cliff face resembling nine galloping horses) and Yellow Cloth Shoal Reflections (where the river is mirror-calm, perfectly reflecting the peaks).
20 RMB Background Viewing Platform & Xingping Ancient Town
- 20 RMB Background Viewing Platform: Located near Xingping Pier, this is the actual site featured on the back of the 1999 edition 20 RMB note.
- Xingping Ancient Town: This town boasts over 1,700 years of history, retaining its ancient flagstone streets, old-style houses, and historic piers, offering a tranquil and leisurely atmosphere.
Ten-Mile Gallery
This is not a gated attraction but a scenic corridor along National Highway 321. It is best explored by bicycle or slow-paced vehicle.
Moon Hill Scenic Area (exterior view)
The area is named for the natural, moon-shaped arch piercing through the hilltop. As you walk or cycle past, the perspective changes, making the arch appear to transform from a crescent to a full moon.
Yulong River Scenic Area (8-person bamboo raft leisure drift/2-person bamboo raft)
Known as "Little Li River," the Yulong River has gentler currents and a more serene and secluded atmosphere than the main Li River. During the peaceful drift, you'll pass by ancient water dams, banks lined with Phoenix Tail Bamboo, rustic villages, and water buffaloes wading in the water, creating a serene "Shangri-La" vibe.
Approximately 17:00: The tour will conclude at a convenient drop-off point within Yangshuo County.
