More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light slices between limestone peaks as the Li River unfurls beneath the VIP deck — a slow procession of karst towers, fishermen and villages sliding past like pages in a geography book. Day one walks you through Guilin’s civic icons: Elephant Trunk Hill where the Peach and Li Rivers meet, the stair-stepped outlooks of Fubo Hill, the dripstone chambers of Reed Flute Cave and the mixed landscapes of Seven Star Park.
