The morning fog lifts off the Li River like a slow breath and the karst peaks lean forward, curious. Onboard the 4-star upper deck you feel the river nudging the hull, and the forward VIP seating frames each bend—limpid water, limestone teeth, and fishermen casting nets as if rehearsing for the light show.
