⢠Explore West Street in Yangshuo, a lively town with more than 1,400 years of history. Walk through its bustling lanes filled with traditional shops, try local snacks, and experience the blend of old culture and modern charm.
Meet your guide at your hotel lobby (centrally located) around 8:00 am and start your adventure. It is about the cruise on the beautiful Li River and the old Yangshuo West Street. It’s an enjoyable journey for both your eyes and soul. When the river flows through Guilin city, it not only cuts out the ordered and special riverway but also forms the skin texture of this city, which endows Guilin with its unique characteristic: soft, clean, bright, and active.
Youāll board a 3-star cruise ship. The cruise lasts about 4 hours to Yangshuo, and a light lunch will be provided on the boat (you can also bring your own snacks if you like). During the journey, you will catch the picturesque scenery of this land – the green karst hills, quiet villages, the landscape on the 20 RMB note…

At about 13:30, the cruise ends in Yanshuo Town. Follow your guide to visit the famous West Street. Take a walk in this 1400-year-old street to find local crafts gathering. Also, admire ancient style buildings, see local people’s life, and try some local food if you like.
After that, board the private car and transfer back to the hotel in Guilin City. This is the end of your Li River Cruise Day Tour.
