What to expect
- The Two Rivers and Four Lakes (Li River, Taohua River, Rong Lake, Shan Lake, Gui Lake, Mulong Lake) are the soul of Guilin City's water system. A boat tour offers a panoramic view of the classic landscape of "a thousand peaks standing in the wild, and a river embracing the city." The cruise activity focuses on "traveling on the water and wandering in a painting," connecting natural landscapes, historical culture, and dazzling night scenes to create a multi-layered touring experience.
- A night cruise on the Two Rivers and Four Lakes offers views of the mountain and water scenery of Shan Lake, Rong Lake, Gui Lake, Mulong Lake, the Li River, and the urban section of the Taohua River. Tour the core scenic belt of Guilin and experience a ring-city water system comparable to the water city of Venice.
- During a night tour of the Four Lakes, the cruise ship cuts through the tranquil lake surface. The Sun and Moon Twin Towers of Shan Lake shine in gold and silver in the lights, the ancient bridge complex of Rong Lake is like crystal carving, the Osmanthus trees along the Gui Lake are adorned with star lights, and the overhanging eaves of Mulong Lake Song City are gilded. Suddenly, the fishing lights sway, and the millennium-old cormorant fishing performance takes the stage. With a whistle from the fisherman, the cormorants break the water to catch fish, and the light and shadow dance with the water waves, outlining a night banquet picture with a long ancient charm. A daytime boat trip on the One River and Four Lakes offers views of Shan Lake, Rong Lake, Gui Lake, Mulong Lake, and the urban section of the Li River, appreciating picturesque natural scenery and viewing mountains of various shapes.
- A daytime tour of the Four Lakes (Rong Lake, Shan Lake, Gui Lake, Mulong Lake) takes "Light boats chasing waves, exploring the secluded and visiting the ancient" as its theme, connecting the lake scenery and cultural context of the old city of Guilin. The sunlight sprinkles on the lake, and the waves and verdant peaks are in harmony with each other. Traveling by boat through the bridge caves and ancient buildings is like opening a flowing landscape painting and feeling the unique charm of "the city in the scenery and the scenery in the city."
