As the boat moves gently downstream, limestone peaks rise along the river, with reflections shifting across the water as the light changes. Villages, farmland, bamboo rafts, and everyday riverside life unfold naturally along the banks. With every turn of the river, the scenery reveals a landscape where mountains, water, and countryside exist in quiet harmony. Shaped by time, the Li River reflects the unique character of Guilin’s karst landscape. Along the way, some of the river’s most recognisable views appear, including the scenery featured on China’s 20 RMB banknote. A journey through one of China’s most distinctive river landscapes, from Guilin to Yangshuo.
