Today's highlight: A natural scroll of mountains and rivers intertwined
✷The beauty of the Li River is best known for its ultimate scenery, described as "the river is like a green ribbon, and the mountains are like jade hairpins." Strange peaks are arranged on both banks, each with a different shape – Elephant Trunk Hill is like a giant elephant drinking from the river, Nine Horse Fresco Hill is like a galloping divine steed, and Yellow Cloth Reflection mirrors the mountains and rivers, creating a magical artistic conception of "water flowing in the sky, and boats cruising in a painting." The river water is as clear as jade, winding through the karst peaks, sometimes calm as a mirror, sometimes shallow and gurgling. With changing light and shadows, every frame is a wonderful annotation of ink wash painting.
Note: To issue tickets for the Li River cruise, you need to provide the first page of your passport (the page with your photo and name). Please send it to customer service via WeChat, email, or WhatsApp after booking.





Reviews
Despite it being the peak of Golden Week congestion, we were able to communicate via WeChat from discussing the meeting point the day before to the bus pickup for our return, making our cruise very comfortable. The onboard meals were also plentiful and satisfying. However, in China, all minor communications are done through WeChat, so it might be quite inconvenient if you don't register for WeChat in advance.
The boat trip itself was great, and the onboard service, including lunch, was also excellent. What really stressed us out was the journey to and from the boat. On the way there, we couldn't understand anything, and it also turned out to be a sales trip. It was a good thing a fellow traveler was able to help us at the pier; otherwise, we would have been lost because our passport number wasn't transmitted correctly. On the return journey, we had to wait forever and weren't sure where we were supposed to be picked up. Since it was still incredibly hot, which no one can help, we were quite exhausted, hence the lower rating.
