It was a worthwhile trip. The river spans two countries, the scenery is beautiful, and I feel the prosperity of our motherland. Vietnam has also developed tourism, but there are basically no tourists, while here people come and go.
Book your tickets in advance and you can enter directly from the ticket gate, which is very convenient! The waterfall is very magnificent during the flood season! It is worth watching 👍The only drawback is that the boat viewing project is too short and it ends before the experience!

The overall environment is very good, and it is very convenient to go back and forth by train. Just be sure to bring rain gear, it will be sunny and rainy, and it is best to wear waterproof shoes. The things inside are a little expensive, you can bring your own food
I personally think that Libo Xiaoqikong is more worth seeing than Huangguoshu Waterfall, but it may be a little bit worse than Jiuzhaigou, but it is also very beautiful. There are many things to play and many scenic spots, which are very suitable for checking in and taking pictures.

The scenery and environment are excellent. Qingxiu Mountain is so big that you can't finish it in one day, even if you take a small train or a sightseeing bus. The only complaint is that the small train or sightseeing bus charges per trip, instead of buying a ticket once and using it repeatedly like other scenic spots.
Qingxiu Mountain is also known as the Nanning Botanical Garden. The scenery is particularly beautiful and it is easy to make a blockbuster! The park is very carefully decorated. If you have time, you should go there again at night for a better experience.

The Xiangshan Scenic Area is truly a masterpiece of nature. Nature is so magical. The natural landscape of Buddha is breathtaking. The karst landforms on both sides of the Li River are eye-catching. It is a highly recommended tourist attraction.
Free entry, a "giant elephant" is located here, long nose here to drink thousands of years of water. The blue waves are rippling, crescent-like caves, during the boat, you can see the sky and water shadows lingering between the stone seams.

Guilin Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area is a landmark attraction in the center of Guilin. It consists of the Li River, Taohua River, Rong Lake, Shan Lake, Gui Lake and Mulong Lake. It is known as the "Venice of China". It combines natural landscapes with cultural landscapes. It is an excellent place to experience the artistic conception of Guilin "thousands of mountains surround the wild, and one water embraces the city".
Highlights
1. Best for night tours: The lights are bright at night, and the Sun and Moon Towers (Golden Tower and Silver Tower) are reflected on the lake, like a fairyland. The cruise ship passes through 19 bridges of different styles, such as the Glass Bridge and the Ancient Banyan Bridge, which are very visually impactful.
2. Water performances: Folk performances such as osprey fishing and ethnic songs and dances add fun. Some cruise ships are equipped with tour guides to explain the historical background in depth.
3. Lock experience: Due to the water level difference, the cruise ship needs to pass through the ship lift or lock, which is similar to the "Mini Three Gorges", novel and interesting.
4. Walking tour: The free lakeside trail is suitable for slow walking. The glass bridge of Rong Lake and the Sun and Moon Twin Towers of Shan Lake are recommended, especially for photography enthusiasts.
This place not only has a good cultural heritage, but also has beautiful scenery. It is very suitable to come here to play. While understanding the cultural heritage, you can also feel the beautiful scenery around you.

You have to enter the Duxiuwangcheng scenic area from the main gate. The ticket includes a tour guide. If you accidentally enter from the back door, you have to wait for the free shuttle bus to take you back to the main gate! The tour guide will take you to explain the various histories of Duxiuwangcheng and Guilin bit by bit. It is very informative. The famous saying "Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world" is engraved on Duxiu Peak. There is also an immersive experience, which is very good. Smart fare! It's a pity that the waiting time for the shuttle bus is a bit long. When the trip is over, the coffee shop will be closed, so you can only take it away!
The attraction is equipped with a tour guide to fully understand every wonderful point of the scenic spot, and know the origin of "Guilin landscape is the best in the world". If the tickets are cheaper, it is more worth playing!

Good service. Very good hardware facilities. The food is also rich and not expensive. The only thing is that the weather was not good that day. Everything else is very good.
After the purchase, the after-sales service was very fast. The staff immediately contacted to supplement the documents, arrange the sailing date, and pick up the tickets the next day. It was very clear and thoughtful. The dock staff helped to pick up the tickets, and the lounge directly checked the tickets and boarded the ship. The ship was neat and orderly, and the attractions were introduced one by one. The catering was equipped with snacks and special platters, and you could also order dishes. We brought our own food but didn't try it. The weather changed quickly during the voyage. It is recommended to bring your own raincoat, which is also sold on the ship. Overall, it is a comfortable and beautiful travel choice.

Cruise & raft on Li River
Saved by 1258 users5276 positive reviews
Verified User Reviews
Family, you must visit the Li River when you come to Guilin! This trip is really worth it!
From the moment I stepped on the cruise ship, I was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of me. The river water is clear and green, like a ribbon winding between the mountains with strange peaks. During the boat, every turn is a brand new landscape painting, and I really experienced the beauty of "people swimming in the painting".
The most impressive thing on the way was the Nine Horses Painting Mountain. The tour guide said that people who can see nine horses are very lucky. My eyes were dazzled and I could only barely find a few horses. It was so interesting. There is also a 20-yuan RMB background shooting location. When I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but take out the banknotes to compare and take pictures, and the sense of accomplishment was full.
The cruise service is also very considerate, the staff is warm and thoughtful, and they will introduce the attractions in detail. The only shortcoming is that there are a lot of tourists on holidays, and you have to seize the opportunity to take pictures. However, this has not affected my love for the Li River at all. It would be a great pity to come to Guilin and not visit the Li River. I strongly recommend it to everyone!

Because of the water level of the Li River, the performance was changed. But it was my first time watching it, so I didn't know what was different. It started at 8 o'clock and ended around 9:10. I can only say it was okay. I personally think it was not as good as Guilin Eternal Love. Audiences left one after another before it ended. (Bring mosquito repellent spray and fans, it's stuffy and there are many mosquitoes outdoors at night)
"Impression of Liu Sanjie" is a large-scale Guilin landscape live performance. "Impression of Liu Sanjie" is the core project of China Lijiang Landscape Theater. It is the first "landscape live performance" in China and the first work in the Impression series of tour guide Zhang Yimou.

It's good to bring children to play, and there are many activities arranged in the whole scenic area. However, there are a few projects that are not allowed for people under 1.4 meters. Also, don't book tickets through Ctrip. Not only are the prices high, but they also find scalpers, which is equivalent to subcontracting layers of seats. The seats arranged are at the edge, and the performance is very bad.
