Guilin Day Tour for Li River Rafting and Yangshuo Countryside Biking
From Guilin city, first make a rafting trip down the Li River to Xingxing, for attractive karst scenery; then go biking into Yangshuo countryside, there offers a good chance to glimpse into a rural life in South China.
Tour Itinerary
Your tour guide will meet you at the lobby of your hotel in downtown Guilin at your preferred time (usually around 08:30 am), and drive about 1.2 hours to reach Yangdi
Take a motorized raft there, and start your rafting on the Li River downstream from Yangdi to Xingping. During the river trip, there offers the impressive scenery of karst mountains and clear water on both sides. You will come across Wave-stone View, Mural Hill, and Yellow Cloth Shoal. Near Xingping, the scenery on the back of Chinese 20 yuan note shows up there.

Asked by Jessica Shields
I am interested in this trip. I am traveling alone and would like to get a quote for this day trip with and without transportation to my hotel in guilin. I speak Chinese so I would be able to find my own way by buses if necessary. Could you give me the price for both ways? Also is there a way I can join a tour so the price is cheaper and I have more companionship? I am looking to go on June 1st or on June 7th. Thank you.
