 Li River cruise
The Li River cruise is started from Guilin to Yangshuo town. Water buffalo patrol the fields, fisherman float by on bamboo rafts, farmers reap rice paddies, children swim in the clear river. With its breathtaking scenery and taste of a life far removed from modern civilization, the scenery along the Li River became one of China's top tourist attractions.
 Elephant Trunk Hill
Situated at the west bank of Li River, Elephant Trunk Hill is regarded as the symbol of Guilin landscape, and the hill has a history of over 3.6 hundred million years. Resembling an elephant leisurely sucking water from the river with its long trunk, this hill is famous as Elephant Trunk Hill for hundreds of years.
 Yang Shuo
Located 90 kilometers south of Guilin City, this town is the downstream end of the cruise and is regarded as the best scenery in Guilin.
Yangshuo is a great place for hikes and cycling excursions. You will have a taste of the rural life by taking a close-up exploration to the country villages.
 Reed Flute Cave
Reed Flute Cave is a brilliant cave marked on almost all travel itineraries. Inside this is a spectacular world of various stalactites and stalagmites, stone pillars and rock formations created by carbonate deposition. Illuminated by colored lighting, the fantastic spectacle is found in many variations along this 240-meter-long cave.
 Fisherman and cormorants
Fishermen use the cormorants to catch the fish and return them to the boat. When the birds catch a fish they return to the boat and the fisherman removes the fish from their throat and places it in the basket. The secret is that the fisherman places a cord around the bird's neck to keep the bird from swallowing the fish.
