Li River, as one of the most popular attractions in China can be found on every travel itinerary of Guilin. Starting from Mao' er Mountain, which is located to the north of Guilin, the river winds its way for over 430 kilometers (267 miles). The 83-kilometer (52 mile) waterway from Guilin to Yangshuo with its various karst peaks could almost be a painting. Green mountains, rural villages, verdant bamboos and water buffalos patrolling the riverside create a stunning landscape. Each bend of the river brings travelers an astonishing view; as such you might find you run out of film. A river cruise is a must for every traveler who comes to Guilin.
Famous attractions along the river include Mural Hill, Crown Cave, Half-Side Ferry, Yellow Cloth Shoal and Xingping's Landscape.
