Itinerary
In the morning, your private guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Guilin, and then drive about 2 hours along the 80-km-long scenic road to Lengshui Ferry. As the car drives away from Guilin, you gradually escape from the bustling city life and begin to immerse yourself in the unspoiled natural beauty of the Li River.

Get off and we will reach the Nine Horse Pier, where you will be guided to board an electric-powered bamboo raft that can load 4 visitors one time. Your 30-minute relaxing bamboo raft journey just starts and the first attraction on the way is near the pier, Mural Hill, which is also one of the biggest highlights of the Li River. When approaching Xingping Pier, we will encounter another famous site, Yellow Cloth Shoal.
Then you will guided to sightsee at the Xingping Ancient Town. It is a historical township by the clear Li River and in the arm of green hills. You may have a lunch in the town, finish the visit, and you will then take a ferry to cross the Li River again, reaching the opposite west bank of Great River Back Village. Your driver and the private car are waiting for you there.
After about a 20-minute drive, we will arrive at Xianggong Mountain.
