Two Rivers & Four Lakes Cruise | Choose Day or Night Tour

Two Rivers and Four Lakes is Guilin’s ancient city water network, connecting Li River, Taohua River with four lakes: Ronghu, Shanhu, Guihu and Mulong Lake. It represents the soul of Guilin’s urban landscape. More than 20 uniquely designed bridges cross the water. Karst peaks, ancient buildings, pavilions and pagodas line the lakeshores. A boat cruise offers the most classic way to admire Guilin’s city mountains. This special water view cannot be enjoyed simply by walking along the bank. You may pick either daytime cruise or night cruise. These two experiences are totally different and both wonderful.

One River & Four Lakes Day Cruise (Around 70 mins)

With bright and soft natural daylight, this is perfect for landscape photography. It is the only daytime boat route to get a full front view of Elephant Trunk Hill, the city symbol of Guilin. The boat departs from the pier and sails through Shanhu, Ronghu and Guihu. When arriving at Mulong Lake, you will pass the water lock and experience the amazing effect of “boat rising with water”. Along the journey, admire the natural water cave of Elephant Trunk Hill, Fubo Hill and Diecai Hill, Sun & Moon Twin Pagodas, ancient South Gate, thousand-year-old banyan tree and the famous crystal glass bridge. The whole waterway works like an on-water museum of bridges.

The boat has air-conditioned indoor cabin and open deck. You can step outside for unobstructed photos. No long walking needed. This trip is easy and suitable for seniors, families, photographers and culture lovers. Daylight lets you clearly see rock textures and ancient trees, showing you the original look of the mountains.

Two Rivers & Four Lakes Night Cruise (Around 90 mins)

Known as the “Oriental Venice”, this is Guilin’s top night tour and a must-do experience for international visitors. After sunset, mountains, pagodas, pavilions and dozens of bridges are lit with colourful lights. Beautiful reflections shimmer on the lake and dance with ripples, creating a dreamy scene. As the boat glides forward, you will see the glowing Sun & Moon Twin Pagodas, ancient South Gate, old banyan bridge and crystal glass bridge. Watch the live traditional cormorant fishing show at Guihu Lake, a precious intangible heritage performance showing old fishing culture of northern Guangxi. At Mulong Lake, the grand Song-dynasty ancient buildings are beautifully illuminated. Guzheng music and ethnic folk performances can also be enjoyed along the route.

The deluxe sightseeing boat is air-conditioned, with large 360° viewing windows and spacious seats. You can go to the open deck to enjoy cool breeze and take photos. You cannot find such magical mix of mountains and light on land. With romantic atmosphere, this cruise is ideal for couples, families and group travellers. It will become the highlight of your Guilin trip.
