Because it rained a few days ago, the Lijiang River water was still very mixed, but the scenery along the way was good. The interior decoration of the boat looks exquisite and comfortable, and there is also Luo Hanguo tea, the seats are spacious, and there are sockets to charge. I chose the 10,000-way number when booking on Trip.com, but the final randomly arranged Shengjing number, bought the upper cabin 360 yuan/person, the customer service notified the departure time at 9:40 one day in advance, it is suitable for me who don't want to get up too early, you can leave a little later, you have to pick up the ticket at Zhujiang Wharf half an hour in advance. The narrator will always explain during the itinerary, especially when the big scenery will remind everyone to take pictures on the roof of the boat. You can rest in the boat at other times, so you don't have to worry about missing it. The itinerary is said to be four hours, in fact, it takes about three hours to arrive in Yangshuo (almost 13:00), but it takes almost half an hour to stop the boat and dock. The buffet lunch is generally the same, but it is OK, not difficult to eat. There will be various packages to promote local fish, as well as perfume, poker, puzzles, etc. If you are not interested, just ignore it. The upper and lower cabins share a bathroom. At the end of the lower cabin, there are 3 rooms in total. I only used it once in the middle. It feels good and not dirty.
The warehouse and service are OK, that is, the designated location of the through train is waiting at 7:20, and the bus picks up people all the way. This is no problem. The most unbearable: after the pick-up, the road conditions are very good, the speed is not more than 60, the tour guide is selling the product all the way without stopping, the ears hurt the brain and the head is also buzzing, half an hour drive, it took 2 hours to get to the pier, Watching other buses one by one exceed, knowing that is the case, I must only buy the ferry tickets, and I drip to the pier.
The boat tour of the Lijiang River is a very classic journey. The four-star cruise is very comfortable and the scenery along the way is beautiful. The sofa seat is very large and comfortable to sit. Lunch has staple food, vegetables, fruits, etc. Although not very rich, you can at least eat.
VIP seats are good, four people just happen to be together, in the bow, rain can not go out can also see the scenery very clearly, there are two positions are upside down, the service can be, there is a waiter to add tea, no photos on the boat. There are snacks and perfume souvenirs, and the boat buffet at noon will be opened around 11:30.
The scenery is still great, I have been using Ctrip, I am very satisfied, and I have tasted the local food for free. The guide Qin arranged two second floor windows for us. The products recommended by the tour guide are the most famous local specialties. It is also very cheap, cheaper than online and physical stores.
It is still recommended to take a boat to feel the best in Guilin. The service is very good. I also ate a single fish on the boat. It was delicious. It was too hard to buy the ferry ticket. I could only take it in the hands of the travel agency in the city. Finally, I bought it on Trip.com. I still believe it. The scenery along the way is good. The seats are spacious.
The pick-up driver enthusiastically helps with the luggage
Very good, the luxury cruise ship has a good view. The buffet is also quite good, the dishes are quite rich, but you have to queue up in advance at the meal, there is basically nothing delicious in the back, and there are not many dishes to continue later. But you can eat enough
