Your private driver will pick you up from your central Guilin hotel in the morning and transfer you to Mopanshan Pier to begin one of China’s most iconic river journeys.
1️⃣ Li River Cruise (Mopanshan Pier→Yangshuo，about 4 hours)
Enjoy a relaxing Li River cruise aboard a comfortable sightseeing boat as dramatic karst mountains glide past on both sides. The emerald-green water, reflections of limestone peaks, fishing villages, bamboo groves, and quiet riverbanks create a living Chinese landscape painting. This is one of the most scenic river cruises in Asia and the highlight of many travelers’ journeys to China.
2️⃣ West Street, Yangshuo
After arriving in Yangshuo, explore the lively West Street—a charming blend of traditional Chinese architecture and international café culture. Wander through stone-paved lanes lined with souvenir shops, local snacks, boutique cafés, and bars. Enjoy free time to shop, relax, photograph the ancient buildings, or taste Yangshuo’s famous street food.
3️⃣ Jinshui Cave (金水岩)
Step into the underground world of Jinshui Cave, known for its warm springs, glowing mineral pools, and massive rock chambers. Walk along illuminated pathways through limestone formations and enjoy the unique natural spa atmosphere.
In summer, the natural mud bath is refreshing and fun; in winter, the mud can feel cold as it is not heated.
4️⃣ Impression Liu Sanjie Show
End your day with one of China’s most famous outdoor performances — Impression Liu Sanjie. Set on the Li River with mountains as the backdrop, this stunning nighttime show combines traditional folk songs, dance, lighting effects, and local culture. More than 600 performers bring ancient Zhuang ethnic legends alive under the open sky, creating a breathtaking finale to your day.
After the show, your private driver will transfer you back to your hotel in Guilin or Yangshuo, concluding your unforgettable experience.
