Reviews
Well organized with smooth pickup and transfer. Lunch spot chosen was a bit of a disappointment (over an hour wait for orders to arrive) making the afternoon rushed, but the driver/guide was tactful in prioritizing the checkpoints. Mid-November weather was pleasant but still very crowded everywhere in Yangshuo especially with local Chinese tourists. The raft at Yulong River was the highlight - peaceful and fun at the same time. Slippers and shorts recommended for an enjoyable ride.
nice driver and itinerary
The tour was amazing. Guilin is beautiful and we stop in every point of interest during our trip. Perfect day.
Professional and courteous in managing the tour ref. Ms. Manni
The tour guide was patient and polite, and the introduction was detailed. The itinerary was very well arranged. He often helps us take photos and is very responsible. Will participate again if have the chance.
The guide wasn't a guide but a driver who dropped us off at various points with little explanation about the timing.
River Li cruises are very beautiful.
Good to know
- Pickup service range: Free door-to-door pickup from hotels within Guilin city (east to East 2nd Ring Road, west to Qinghemeibang, north to Guilin North Railway Station, south to South Railway Station). [For some hotels, guests need to walk to the nearest meeting point to board the bus. Please consult customer service for details.] Additional fees will be incurred for locations outside of these areas. The specific amount will be communicated and confirmed with you by our customer service team after the order is confirmed.
Time arrangement: The group tour departs around 7:00 AM and usually ends around 6:00 PM, returning you to your hotel or the original pickup point. We will inform you of the meeting time again one day before the tour. Please arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before the scheduled meeting time.
[Special Tips for Yulong River Rafting]:
- Every tourist must wear a life jacket before getting on the bamboo raft and must not take it off during the ride. Please keep your electronic products safe.
- According to Yulong River Scenic Area regulations, pregnant women, people with disabilities, etc., are strictly prohibited from riding Yulong River bamboo rafts. Children under 1 meter and the elderly over 70 years old cannot ride double bamboo rafts. If there are people who cannot ride, you can choose the Yulong River 8-person bamboo raft, or switch to free hiking along the Yulong River. Please contact Klook customer service in advance.
- Yulong River double bamboo rafts are manual bamboo rafts and can carry 2 tourists. Rafts depart with at least 2 people. If there is a single person, they will need to pay for an empty raft (because real-name ticketing is now in place, the scenic spot does not provide raft sharing services). The empty raft fee for a single person from Shui'edi to Gongnong Bridge is 100 yuan, and the empty raft fee for a single person from Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian is 160 yuan.
- Rafting duration is for reference only. The raft workers are managed by the Yulong River Scenic Area, and the actual bamboo raft ride duration depends on the raft worker's paddling speed on the day.
- Guests taking the Yulong River double bamboo raft who weigh 200 pounds individually need to charter a raft. The combined weight of two people cannot exceed 320 pounds.
- In case of holidays [especially the Spring Festival, May Day, and National Day Golden Week], the Yulong River Wharf will select the rafting section according to the current scenic area traffic conditions. If the bamboo raft queuing time is too long or tickets are temporarily suspended, you can switch to other equivalent scenic spots or refund the price difference and change to hiking sightseeing.
Warm reminder: Due to winter weather factors and annual routine inspection and maintenance of facilities and equipment, "Impression Sanjie Liu" is scheduled to suspend performances from January 18, 2026, to February 18, 2026, to fully carry out inspection, maintenance, and upkeep work on the performance equipment; normal performances will resume on February 19, 2026 (the third day of the first lunar month).
