Review of Guilin’s Li River cruise and Yangshuo biking tour, with boat costs, cycling tips, guide service, timing, and honest value advice.

“The boat trip through one of China's most iconic and picturesque landscapes with views of the characteristic limestone mountains is very beautiful and relaxing.

The subsequent bike ride in Yangshuo was disappointing as the trip was very short and the bikes were of poor quality.”
