Itinerary
1
Yulong River
The Yulong River is a major tributary of the Li River. Rafting there allows another excellent vantage point from which to experience the Guilin limestone mountains at their best. Local people use rafts as daily transportation up and down the river between house, markets, and rice paddies.

Moon Hill
1 hour
Moon Hill is somewhat the symbol of Yangshuo, from a distance it’s actually just a mountain with a hole in it – shaped like a moon – but it’s the nice hike up with the rewarding view from the summit that justifies it status as a must visit spot in Yangshuo. The hill is covered by dense trees and bamboo giving the hill a rich lush feeling which during the sunny summer days, offers some welcome shade from the sun. After you have conquered the more than 800 stairs leading to the moon shaped cave, where climbers can be seen showing off their skills on the overhanging cliff, you are just a few steps away from the main platform near the top that offers great views over the landscape and Yangshuo town.

Li River
1 hour
Located in the northeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the Li River is a jewel among natural landscapes in China. At 437 kilometers long, it is the world’s largest and prettiest karst landscape destination, being credited as the essence and soul of Guilin scenery. The most enjoyable part is the 83-kilometer-long voyage on boat between Guilin and Yangshuo, passing through the extraordinary sceneries frequently compared with traditional Chinese landscape painting. The most notable is the reflection of mountains, solid rocks being endowed by water with dynamism, spirituality and life. This river has attracted men of literature and poetry for as long as it has flowed.
