Li River Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The essence of Guilin's landscape lies in the scenery of Li River. Dubbed as the “best landscape in the world”, Guilin has appeared widely in elementary school textbooks. The two sides of the Li River have different mountains with different shapes. Among them, the most representative ones include the Nine Horse Mountain and the Yellow Cloth Shoal. The latter is featured on the back of the new 20 RMB notes. Visiting the Li River can be done by boat or bamboo rafts. The big boat is spacious but the bamboo raft is more exotic.

Yangshuo Guide: Understand everything in one article and have fun in the essence of GuilinTransportation🚗: It is recommended to take the high-speed train directly to Yangshuo, and note that the highlights of Guilin are mostly concentrated in Yangshuo. During the peak season, purchase round-trip tickets at least one week in advance to avoid competing with the 'special forces' of college students. For short-distance travel in between, if you can't get a taxi, you need to bargain with motorcycle taxis and private cars to avoid being overcharged. Accommodation🏠: It is recommended to stay in a riverside hotel on West Street by the Li River, where opening the curtains allows you to be greeted by mountains, with the Li River also within close reach, immersing oneself in nature. If you need to take night scene photos, staying in Xingping is even better. Routes/Check-in Spots💞: After exiting Yangshuo high-speed train station, turn left to the bus station and take a 5 yuan bus to Xingping Ancient Town; search for Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant on Baidu, and go down the steps opposite to experience the Li River landscape that appears on the 20 yuan note during the day. Those who come to Guilin for the first time will definitely be shocked, as if they are in the beautiful scenery from textbooks. After viewing the daytime scenery of the 20 yuan note background, search for Xingping Wharf on Baidu, take a ferry to the opposite wharf, casually find a private motorcycle or sightseeing car, and travel about 10 kilometers up the mountain to reach Xianggong Mountain Scenic Area (entrance ticket 60 yuan). It takes about 15-20 minutes to climb to the viewing platform to appreciate the essence of the Li River and the big bend ❗❗❗This place is a must-visit Return to Xingping from the wharf, go back to the 20 yuan check-in spot (Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant), and take photos of the Li River landscape around 6:20 pm, spending 20 yuan to take a photo with an old man on a bamboo raft, which is very wonderful! If you stay in Xingping, you can come back to take photos of the Li River night scene after 8 pm; if you stay on West Street, you need to get to Xingping bus station before 7 pm and take a 15 yuan bus to Yangshuo County. The next day, starting from West Street, you can rent an electric bike to ride through the Ten-Mile Gallery. Here are two recommended check-in spots—the big bridge at the Comprehensive Wharf and the dam near Jimah Wharf (navigate to Shuangliu Yiduting). If you can get up early (before 8 am), you can also go queue up to take a bamboo raftM1rr0r_3n1gm@t1c3

Picturesque cruise ride from GuilinGuilin is well known for its beautiful nature landscapes, especially for its world renowned river, the Li river. And to best enjoy the Li River, I will highly recommend take the river cruise which takes you from Guilin to Yang Shuo. I must say the views along the way are incredible. Remember seeing those Chinese paintings that has sea and mountains? This place looks exactly like that! It was really an eye opening experience for me. For the cruise ride, there are 2 options. The 3 star and the 4 star cruise, which you can choose from depending on your budget. There is also lunch provided during the ride, but just note that the meals are definitely not a highlight of the ride. The trip will take about 4 hours to reach the destination. One tip for those who are taking the cruise: Make sure to check the weather forecast and plan for a ride which has a good weather with no rain. Reason being the viewing deck of the cruise is not sheltered, so if it’s raining you will not be able to go out and enjoy the amazing scenery and most likely all of the incredible views will be blocked by the fog as well! #momentssg #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration #naturalwonders #chinaSeanjunhao83
The super detailed Guilin travel guide is here!!!Yangshuo is beautiful, but I won't come next time. I went to Guilin for two days and three nights, mainly staying in Yangshuo. Honestly, the landscape of Guilin is indeed beautiful, but I won't go there a second time. Must-visit spots: 1⃣️ Xingping Li River in Guilin (the background of the 20 yuan note), best visited in the evening. Didn't take photos on the bamboo raft, it seems to be 20 yuan for a minute or 10 minutes, too expensive so I didn't do it; took unlimited time photos for 10 yuan near West Street! 2⃣️ On the way, visited Laozhai Mountain, which is near Xingping Ancient Town. The road is really wild, and parts of it are steep and dangerous. We went there after it rained that day, danger level +++ Suggest that those who are not hiking enthusiasts choose Husband Mountain instead, the view from the top is indeed nice, but didn't catch a beautiful sunset. 3⃣️ For bamboo rafting, definitely start from Jimah Dock, fewer people and no waiting. Snagged tickets for 9 am, almost no one was queuing at the scene, and it wasn't very hot either Yangshuo delicacies: Sour stuff, duck feet pot, Guilin rice noodles, and snail noodles, basically had these, didn't try beer fish (really not interested) ❌ Rented an electric scooter to go to the Ten-Mile Gallery, but there were too many people and cars, and it was really extremely hot, got tanned a lot. Outfit: Suggest focusing on comfortable, bright-colored clothing, and do a good job with sun protection The scenery here is so beautiful with clear mountains and waters. Definitely a must-visit!!!

just cruising....Guilin and the surrounding areas have many naturally beautiful attractions to visit, and top of the list has to be the scenic Li River. With its jagged-shaped hills slicing into the sky, clear water and lush vegetation, it is a true heaven on earth. Having been here before in 2018, when it was full of people, we took the opportunity to visit again together as a small group. We were lucky with three things-the weather was excellent, there were no tourists and also COVID travel restrictions had just been removed completely. It proved to be perfect-timing indeed, as we will unlikely be able to experience such a unique set of circumstances ever again. To get here, you will definitely need a private car. The best thing to do is stay in Guilin and rent your own car for the day, or just hire a driver-which is what we did here. It is around a 2-hour drive here, so definitely suggest arriving early at around 9am for this special sightseeing attraction, although there was nobody here when we came. Usually large tour groups can take a large boat up the river, but this wasn't available on the day we came, so we rented two small boats for our group of 5 people. Each boat seats 4 people, so we had to pay for the 3 empty seats at 63¥ per seat, but was well worth it, considering we had the whole place to ourselves! It is also worth mentioning not to eat around here as it tends to be expensive, just drive around 10km away and eat lunch elsewhere. Another thing is that you can combine the Li River with several other attractions on the same day, therefore maximizing your time and money. Definitely, I would recommend visiting here, usually it's one of the busiest tourist destinations in China, but we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to have it to ourselves for just one day! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #2023travelwishTheTravelShow13

The Lijiang River is so beautiful. It is really Guilin's landscape is the best in the world. If you don't come, you will not have experience.～ You will have a beautiful view all the way: Nanling interrupts the Lijiang River, the blue water flows east to this time, the green mountains on both sides of the Straits are relatively out, and the cruise ship is on the Japanese side.～
All the way on the water, all the way to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Straits, beautiful, a while to the bow to punch in the photo, a while to the stern to see the scenery far away, the river wind blows, the bus is very good, recommended
It’s really beautiful 8, the rain is misty, and it feels more like it rains. It’s really beautiful here. I will come here again if I have the opportunity. The Samsung boat is very convenient. The tour guide will come to the hotel to pick you up.
The pick-up driver enthusiastically helps with the luggage
Is it worth going here? The answer is yes. Four-star cruise ship or Samsung? *If the silver is abundant, four stars are preferred. I decided to go 2 days in advance, and the price I saw on Trip.com was more favorable, so I decided directly. Subsequent dispatch and WeChat, has been very patient to help solve my concerns, the first time I came here, there are many problems, live in Guilin, how to arrange the round-trip on the same day? *Scheduling can arrange a bus pick-up, you can also take a taxi by yourself. Because of our location of the hotel, 9:40 boat, the scheduled bus will depart at 7 o'clock, and I will take a taxi after considering it. The driver who had eaten the hotel breakfast came at 8 o'clock. No traffic jam for 40 minutes. 2. It’s almost 1 o’clock to Yangshuo. The next itinerary is Eternal Love. The scheduling is great. Really, I have set Eternal Love together. The price is cheaper than my online. The location is 4 rows in the middle (no one sits in the first three rows, because there is water during the performance) Ctrip’s service is very good. I have integrated the official website and the public, choose the best offer.
Because it rained a few days ago, the Lijiang River water was still very mixed, but the scenery along the way was good. The interior decoration of the boat looks exquisite and comfortable, and there is also Luo Hanguo tea, the seats are spacious, and there are sockets to charge. I chose the 10,000-way number when booking on Trip.com, but the final randomly arranged Shengjing number, bought the upper cabin 360 yuan/person, the customer service notified the departure time at 9:40 one day in advance, it is suitable for me who don't want to get up too early, you can leave a little later, you have to pick up the ticket at Zhujiang Wharf half an hour in advance. The narrator will always explain during the itinerary, especially when the big scenery will remind everyone to take pictures on the roof of the boat. You can rest in the boat at other times, so you don't have to worry about missing it. The itinerary is said to be four hours, in fact, it takes about three hours to arrive in Yangshuo (almost 13:00), but it takes almost half an hour to stop the boat and dock. The buffet lunch is generally the same, but it is OK, not difficult to eat. There will be various packages to promote local fish, as well as perfume, poker, puzzles, etc. If you are not interested, just ignore it. The upper and lower cabins share a bathroom. At the end of the lower cabin, there are 3 rooms in total. I only used it once in the middle. It feels good and not dirty.
