Morning mist lifts off the Li River as the sampan slips from Zhujiang Pier; limestone towers push up from the water like the ribs of some ancient creature, and the boat’s low wake dares the river to keep its secrets. On day one this private package pairs that quiet cruise with the soft bustle of Yangshuo; on day two it trades water for stone, visiting Reed Flute Cave and Elephant Trunk Hill beneath a Guilin sky.
