Review the 4-hour Li River cruise from Guilin, with karst peaks, village scenery, buffet lunch, hotel pickup, and practical booking advice.

“Loved it but would have preferred a Chinese/ English speaking guide to have information as we cruise. With the qr code it was a bit difficult to follow. Eventually is quite expensive for just a car ride to the pier and the cruise. With an English speaking crew that explain ms the scenery and the traditions of the areas we see it could have been more value for money.”
