  Li River

  Board a traditional bamboo raft at Xingping Pier（兴坪朝板山码头） and set off on a serene journey along the most picturesque section of the Li River. Glide gently toward the famous Nine Horse Fresco Hill, where nature’s artistry has carved cliffs that resemble galloping horses. Along the way, you’ll pass the renowned 20 Yuan Banknote Viewpoint, where the surrounding peaks and river scenery perfectly match the landscape printed on China’s 20 yuan note. Enjoy the tranquil rhythm of the water, framed by misty karst mountains and drifting clouds, as your guide shares fascinating legends and local stories that bring this stunning landscape to life. Travel tips:Each raft seats up to four passengers on a charter basis. Smaller groups will need to pay an empty seat fee, though sharing may be arranged at the pier.
