Discover Two of the Most Beautiful Spots in Just One Day: Li River & Xianggong Hill
Enjoy the peace and quiet of the Li River as you glide by electric boat from Yangdi to Xingping—a journey that immerses you in the region's stunning natural beauty.
Then, from the top of Xianggong Hill, marvel at a breathtaking panoramic view of the Li River, surrounded by soaring karst peaks.
We will have a sign of the traveler's name to meet at the lobby of hotel
Enjoy a convenient start to your tour with a 9:00 AM pick-up (or a custom time of your choice). Your driver-guide will meet you at your hotel lobby, Guilin Airport, Railway Station, or any designated spot. Please provide your hotel name, and we will cover pick-ups within 20 kilometers of Guilin city center.
It is about an 80-minute drive from your Guilin hotel to Yangdi, where you will take an electric boat to Xingping. Please note that the section from Yangdi to Xingping is the most beautiful part of the Li River between Guilin and Yangshuo. Most of the photos you see in guidebooks or online are taken along this stretch. The electric boat ride from Yangdi to Xingping lasts about one hour and offers a more authentic experience, allowing you to get closer to the area’s natural beauty. Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of towering karst peaks in various shapes, crystal-clear waters, lush green hills, bamboo groves, and riverside villages. If you’re lucky, you might also see water buffalo, cormorants with fishermen, or orange groves. This unique scenery will surely become one of the highlights of your tour in China. Note: Each boat accommodates four passengers, so you will share the cruise with other tourists.
After lunch in Xingping Old Town, we will drive to Xianggong Hill—a perfect destination for those who want to experience the karst scenery up close. The 20-minute hike to the top is well worth the effort, as it offers one of the most stunning panoramic views in the region. From the summit, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking vista of the Li River winding through towering karst peaks. Unlike the river cruise, where you look up at the hills, climbing Xianggong Hill allows you to stand above them, giving you a completely different perspective. You’ll feel on top of the world, with the peaks below you. This is truly one of China’s most spectacular sights and a must-see for any visitor.
Once you’ve finished exploring Xianggong Hill, we’ll take you directly back to your hotel in either Guilin or Yangshuo.
