Li Jiang River Cruise
We have included additional details of this excursion, because as based on feedback it seems to have been one of the most popular excursions we offered on 2007.
If you can possibly include this short river cruise while in Guangxi province (Guilin) it will enable you to see the beautiful countryside and the mountains that surround the water while experiencing the river culture of Southern China.
Water buffalo often patrol the fields, you will see peasants reaping rice paddies, and school kids and fisherman will float by on bamboo rafts. You stand a good chance to see the fisherman with their famous cormorants; these cormorants are good-sized birds that enjoy diving underwater in search of fish. Fishermen use the cormorants to catch the fish and return them to the boat to sell them in the Local Markets.
Your Guide will collect you from your hotel taking you to the departure point. The cruise on Li River starts from Guilin at 8:00, and finishes around 11:00 - 13:00 depending on the water level.
The Li-River cruise is a non-stop cruise from Guilin to the village of Yangshuo. You will enjoy a buffet lunch on board. After you arrive in Yangshuo, the clients will browse in the West Street Market before you return to Guilin by car.
Extra time in the countryside around Yangshou can easily be arranged with your English-speaking guide, please ask us when we prepare your itinerary.
