Mist lifts from the Li River in the morning and the karst peaks appear like blunt teeth rising from the water. You board a four-person bamboo raft at Yangdi pier and the river eases you downstream—oars whisper, fishermen cast nets, water buffalo stand waist-deep while limestone towers keep a steady vigil. The short cruise covers the most photographed stretch of the Li, where reflections double the cliffs and rice paddies edge the banks.

Mist lifts from the Li River in the morning and the karst peaks appear like blunt teeth rising from the water. You board a four-person bamboo raft at Yangdi pier and the river eases you downstream—oars whisper, fishermen cast nets, water buffalo stand waist-deep while limestone towers keep a steady vigil. The short cruise covers the most photographed stretch of the Li, where reflections double the cliffs and rice paddies edge the banks.
This corridor of Guangxi has been shaped by millions of years of limestone dissolution; the resulting karst towers and caves have guided local settlement and river traffic for centuries. Xianggong Hill offers one of the classic panoramas: a layered horizon of peaks and a curving river that once inspired Chinese painters and poets. Nearby, Fuli Ancient Bridge — a 30m stone arch — spans pastoral fields and shows the plain, working rhythms of rural life.
Practically, expect a private car pickup from Guilin (about 1.5 hours to Yangdi), a 60–120 minute bamboo-raft segment, a climb or viewpoint time at Xianggong Hill, and a stop at Fuli for photos. The experience is low-impact but requires basic mobility to step onto rafts and navigate short trails. Bring water, sun protection, and a light rain shell; phone pockets or dry bags are recommended. Note local rules prohibit very young children under 1.3m from the raft, and pregnant travelers are advised against participation. Time your visit for soft morning light and lighter river traffic; the landscape rewards early starts with clearer views and cooler conditions.
The rafting segment typically lasts around 60–120 minutes depending on stops and river conditions; the whole tour runs 4–6 hours.
