The Li River cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo is the centerpiece of any trip to northeastern Guangxi Province. 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, 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.

During the pandemic, to take our deluxe cruise you need to provide the Chinese green QR code and the Covid vaccination certificate. There is no requirement to take our bamboo boat. The bamboo boat ends in Xinping where you can take a local bus to Yangshuo if your hotel is in Yangshuo. Both types of boats during the pandemic do not have English-speaking tour guides on board due to the lack of foreign tourists.
