Itinerary

  1. Mopanshan Wharf

    Mopanshan Wharf is the main departure point for Li River cruises from Guilin to Yangshuo. Located approximately 25 km (15 miles) from downtown Guilin, it is about a 40-minute drive away.

    Please arrive at least 40 minutes before departure. Our English-speaking staff member will welcome you at the wharf and help you get ready for your cruise.

  2. Li River

    4 hours Admission included

    Glide quietly along the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo, through a landscape shaped by nature over millions of years.

    As the boat moves gently downstream, limestone peaks rise along the river, with reflections shifting across the water as the light changes. Villages, farmland, bamboo rafts, and everyday riverside life unfold naturally along the banks.

    With every turn of the river, the scenery reveals a landscape where mountains, water, and countryside exist in quiet harmony. Shaped by time, the Li River reflects the unique character of Guilin’s karst landscape.

    Along the way, some of the river’s most recognisable views appear, including the scenery featured on China’s 20 RMB banknote.

    A journey through one of China’s most distinctive river landscapes, from Guilin to Yangshuo.
