Guilin is regarded as the most picturesque city in China. Two crystal-clear rivers meander through the city, which are encircled by hills with unusual and bizarre rock formations.

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 away from the metropolis, the scenery along the Li River is one of China's top tourist destinations.

A one day cruise tour includes the bus pick up, boat cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo, lunch and the bus tour back to Guilin in the afternoon.
