Half-day cruise on Li River, also known as Li Jiang in Chinese, from Guilin to Yangshuo is the highlight of any visit to Guilin. The 80km stretch of the river offers breathtaking scenery as the river snakes through karst mountains, gigantic bamboo sprays, and picturesque villages -- sights that have inspired countless poets and painters for generations. In the summer, kids can be found swimming in the clean and clear river, often side by side with water buffalos taking a lazy bath.
