The Lijiang River tours between
Guilin and Yangshuo are an extremely popular way to see the
natural scenery along the Lijiang River, which is one of the
best in China. However, the tours can be on the expensive side
with a one way ride to Yangshuo costing roughly US$45 and some
trips costing as much as US$89 (but including a bus ride back to
Guilin). These prices also include lunch on the boat. 
Tickets can be booked through SinoTour or bought at the branch
office in Guilin. The boats leave in the early morning at about
8 or 8:30 am. For the best sections of natural scenery are near Yangshuo, if
you plan to spend a lot of time in Yangshuo, then you may wish
to skip the Guilin Lijiang River tour and take one of the
minibuses that leave Guilin South Railway station, where trains
from some major cities in China such as Beijing and Shanghai
(and all destinations north) arrive. The bus should cost you
some US$1 and it is the most convenient way to reach Yangshuo. |
