Cruising on Li River is the top thing to do during your Guilin tour. 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.
Li River is full of surprises which will ignite your imagination to fully appreciate the bestowed beauty.
Zhujiang Dock （竹江码头) is about 25km east of Guilin city center with taxi fare around 100 yuan. You can buy your boating ticket on the spot at the ticketing office at the dock.
Now, follow me to have a glimpse of the picturesque Li River.
