Li River is located in the northeast part of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region in south China. As a tributary of Zhujiang River, it originates in mountain Cat at Xingan County in the north of Guilin. It winds and meanders its way for 437 Kilometers passing through Guilin, Yangshuo, Pingle and Wuzhou. Between Guilin and Yangshuo, the Li River is limpid with crystal water. The poet Han Yu from the Tang Dynasty described the Li River as a blue silk ribbon surrounded by green jade hairpins.

A visit to Guilin would be incomplete without a trip on the Li River. Along the 83-kilometer-long river trip by boat, the landscapes are so especially spectacular that the rocks and caves are fantastic, the deep pools, springs and waterfalls are wonderful. Elephant Hill, Chuanshan Hill, Pagoda Hill, Qifengzhen Peak Forest, Crown Cave, Painted cliff, Xingping Town and Green Lotus Peak are the extraordinary scenic spots along the river. The main scenic spots the boat will pass on a Li River cruise trip are: Pagoda Hill, Zhujiang Wharf, Bat Hill, Wangfu Rock, Dragon Playing Water, One-Side Ferry, Crown Cave, Green Bamboo of Yangdi Dock, Langshi Scenery, A Boy Worships Buddha, Painted Cliff, Reflection of Yellow Beach, Five Fingers Hill, Snail Hill, Dragon-head Hill, etc.
