Guilin guide
Guilin: the Li River cruise to Yangshuo
Karst peaks reflected in the water, the scene on the 20-yuan note and the Longji rice terraces.
A cruise on the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo, between karst peaks rising from the water, is the most cited experience in Guilin; the landscape at Xingping appears on the back of the 20-yuan note. The cruise takes about four hours, and spring and early summer bring misty peaks and full rivers.
In the city, Elephant Trunk Hill and the Reed Flute Cave are the classic sights. A day trip to the Longji rice terraces, carved into the mountains by Zhuang and Yao villagers, is spectacular from May to October.
