You step off the high-speed train into Yangshuo with the limestone peaks filling the windows like someone rearranged the horizon overnight. The guide meets you at the station and in a short drive you are at Xingping old town, where the Li River threads through karst teeth and a familiar 20 RMB banknote view waits framed by bamboo and a slow, silver river.

Children under 1 meter and travelers over 70 are restricted from the bamboo boat; the tour notes this for safety reasons.
The tour may be unavailable during major Chinese festivals like Labor Day or National Day due to lack of train tickets; check dates in advance.
The Li River valley has supported fishing and rice cultivation for centuries; the region’s imagery influenced classical Chinese landscape painting and banknote design.
