Day Cruises in Southern China

Take a leisurely half-day cruise up the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo. You'll pass by limestone peaks, bamboo groves, rice farmers, and fishermen along the way, then stroll West Street on arrival. Hotel pickup is provided from Guilin if you choose to stay at your destination, or upgrade for a round-trip transfer if you'd prefer to return.

Weave your way along the beautiful Li River and explore the luscious Chinese countryside on a full-day tour from Guilin. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, capture fantastic photographs of the spectacular scenery as you sail down the calm river for four hours; feast on freshly caught fish and local specialties on board for lunch; and disembark to immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of street vendors in a rustic village. Peruse bespoke boutiques selling fine Chinese paintings and precious jade jewellery and enjoy convenient round-trip transportation from your Guilin hotel.

Li River is renowned for its incredible natural sights, including the immense karst mountains that tower over the water, and river cruises are a popular attraction in the region. Instead of battling the crowds and rushing to organise everything in Guilin, however, you can book a full-day river cruise that picks you up from your downtown hotel and drops you back in Guilin at the end of the day.
