Cruising on Li River <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cruising on Li River is the top thing to do during your Guilin tour<\/a>. The 83-km long Li River from  Guilin resembles a jade ribbon flanked by idyllic paddy fields and green forested hills, and dotted with pinnacled peaks, yellow shoals, bamboo groves, odd-shaped crags, deep pools and flying waterfalls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Li River is full of surprises which will ignite your imagination to fully appreciate the bestowed beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Book Tickets for Li River Cruises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Book a cruise ticket through the tourist desk at your hotel with a return transfer back to Guilin from Yangshuo. Or you may taxi from your hotel in Guilin to Zhujiang Dock (\u7af9\u6c5f\u7801\u5934) where most of the cruise boats leave for Yangshuo on a 4-hour cruise including lunch on board. <\/p>\n\n\n
