From Guilin to Yangshuo, the Li River cruise was the absolute highlight of our trip—100% worth the 2

Everyone says “Guilin’s mountains and waters are the best under heaven,” and there’s no better way to soak in this natural masterpiece than placing yourself right in it—on a boat. 🏞️

The Li River is a 63km waterway flowing through iconic scenery: Elephant Trunk Hill, Yangdi reflections, Nine-Horse Fresco Hill, and the famous 20-yuan note view. Cruising down the river offers the most comfortable way to enjoy these classic landscapes. 🌊

Here’s a handy guide for anyone planning to hop on a Li River cruise:
🚢 Cruises come in 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star options. This post covers the 3-star cruise.
🕘 The 3-star cruises depart daily at 9:30AM (an extra 9AM slot during peak season), and run every 30 mins until the last boat at 12:35PM. No afternoon departures.
🛳️ Seating is not assigned; all passengers sit on either the upper or lower deck. The top deck is open-air and perfect for sightseeing.
