Li River, one of Earth's most beautiful wonders
Originating in Mao'er Mountain in Xing'an county northeast of Guilin, the Li River winds its way southeast for about 437 km, passing through Guilin, Yangshuo, Pingle, Zhaoping and finally meets Xi River in Wulin. It boasts the largest and most beautiful scenic area in China and attracts thousands of visitors each year.
The 83-km-long waterway from Guilin to Yangshuo is like a masterpiece. The landscape is decorated with rolling hills, steep cliffs, fantastic caves, leisurely boats and is lined with bamboo.
Most people who love Guilin scenery will also have a crush on the fishing scene: poling on a little bamboo raft, the fisherman light the kerosene lamp with a cormorant standing next to him and are ready to catch the fish. This classic scene is rarely to be seen since people who make a living out of fishing are less and less.

📍 Li river, Guilin
🚘 We took an hour-long Didi drive from Yangshuo west street to the Li River ticket area, where we bought a package including rides to the park and back, plus bamboo rafting for four.
🌧️ Despite the rain and a long queue (over an hour), the bamboo rafting was fantastic—longer and more enjoyable than expected, with stunning views. ⛰️
📸 After rafting, we explored nearby and found locals with 🦅 for photos. The area wasn't crowded, perfect for taking photos with the beautiful mountain and river backdrop.

Bamboating on The Li River
The Li River is one of China’s most beautiful destinations. Running for roughly 80 kilometers through Guangxi province, it is surrounded by thousands of karst mountains formed through millions of years of weathering and erosion. The bamboo raft drifts peacefully along the river as the tranquil scenery surrounds you. With the sound of water trickling and cicadas cicada-ring, this mode of transport along the river offers a pure moment of quiet with nature. Depending on where you go, the length of the trip differs. Be sure to try it out more than once at different parts of the river. You will be expected to wear a life jacket but the boat guides don’t mind if you take it off for a photo op.
