Li River
is situated in Guilin, Guangxi Province. It is considered as the highlight of
sightseeing in Guilin. The 83-km-long waterway from Guilin to Yangshuo is
the masterpiece of Li River, decorated with rolling hills, steep cliffs,
fantastic caves, leisurely boats and lined bamboos which is just like enjoying
a melodious symphony.
The crystal clear Li River
is located amid precipitous peaks hung with waterfalls. Among poems singing the
praise of its beauty are these tow lines: "He who travels in Guilin hills
finds himself in a fairyland", and "He who sails along the Li River
finds himself boating in a sweet dream."
You can breathe the fresh
air, feel gentle breeze and appreciate the fabulous landscape on both sides of
Li River. In spring, tourists may stand on the front of a boat and let the
mizzle falls onto their faces. It is really a wonderful experience.
The most beautiful scenes
of Guilin are found along the Li River. The hills beyond hills with their
reflections in the crystal water are like fairy land, the green bamboo greets
you all the way along the river in the breeze; the water buffaloes eating grass
casually; the ducks swimming along the river; the fisherman fishing or
catnapping on the bamboo rafts with his cormorants resting peacefully next to
him, it's God dotted landscape. "Serenity" is a word poet tried to
describe, "story-book-mountains" is kids say about the hills. Chinese
traditional paintings are what Chinese artists have being trying to depict the
scenery for thousands of years. But the natural beauty of the Li River is
indeed beyond any descriptions, you have to be there to see with your own eyes
and to feel with your own heart.
Li River
cruise
ends in Yangshuo. Yangshuo is a small town, where the clear water, verdant
mountain peaks and hillocks, and spectacular caverns compose a captivating
picture. Green Lotus Peak, Schoolboy Hill and Snow Lion Ridge surround this
beautiful town. Many people would like to do countryside tour programs in
Yangshuo, including bamboo rafting on Yulong River, cormorant
fishing show and cycling tour in Yangshuo.
