Guilin Li River Scenic Area Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The elementary school Chinese textbook's phrase "Guilin's scenery is peerless in the world" refers precisely to cruising the Li River. With its majestic, uniquely shaped peaks lining both banks, this area represents the essence of Guilin's landscape. Spanning a hundred kilometers like an unfolding scroll painting, every bend reveals scenes resembling classic Chinese ink wash paintings. The Li River Scenic Area features emerald peaks flanking winding waters, steep gorges with cascading waterfalls, lush islets amid rushing rapids, and extraordinary caves with striking rock formations. Along its course lie dozens of famous attractions: Chinese tallow tree beach, nine oxen and three islets, bat mountain, waiting husband rock, grassland scenery, crown cave, embroidered hill, half-side ferry, immortal's millstone, Yangdi scenery, carp clinging to cliff, wave stone wonder, lower dragon bay, chicken coop mountain, eight immortals crossing, five-finger mountain, climbing turtle, nine-horse mural hill (featured on the 20 CNY banknote), camel crossing river, court tablet hill, Xingping's finest view, snail hill, fishing village, dragon head mountain, and more.
The main ways to explore the Li River scenic area are by boat, bamboo raft, or hiking, including three-star and four-star Li River cruises, bamboo raft tours, and Xingping fishing village boat tours.

Other visitors' reviews of Guilin Li River Scenic Area
Show More ReviewsA boat trip on the Li River truly reveals the meaning of "sailing on emerald waves, a person traveling through a painting." The river is clear and calm, the boat moving slowly forward, with karst peaks rising one after another on both banks. The mountains are diverse in shape, some solitary peaks rising abruptly, others forming continuous, staggered ranges. Bamboo groves line the riverbanks, their leaves drooping towards the water, the green trees covering the mountainsides in distinct shades and depths. The river reflects the distant mountains and clouds, its surface shimmering with delicate light. As the river bends, the scenery transforms once more. The Nine Horses Painting Mountain's weathered cliffs are like a painting, the Yellow Cloth Reflection mirroring the landscape, the scenery featured on the 20 RMB note slowly unfolding before your eyes. Occasionally, fishing boats dot the riverbank, a thin mist rises and falls, and the distant mountains are shrouded in a light haze, like a flowing ink painting scroll. As the journey unfolds, the mountains and waters shift and the scenery changes with the boat. Everywhere you look, there is a poetic landscape, making you feel as if you are immersed in a landscape painting, surrounded by the unique beauty of the southern mountains and rivers.
