Guilin: Xianggong Mtn & Xingping Li River Cruise Day Tour

English-speaking shared group day trip from Guilin: hike Xianggong Mountain for Li River first bend views, explore Xingping Ancient Town, and cruise past the iconic 20 RMB banknote scenery.
07:20–08:00
Hotel pickup in Guilin city.

08:00–09:30
Travel by vehicle through karst peaks and rural countryside to Xianggong Mountain.

09:30–10:30
A short but rewarding climb of roughly 500 stone steps (15–20 minutes up at a normal pace) leads to a series of viewing platforms. From the top you look down on Xingping Town, riverside villages, and the dramatic first bend of the Li River — one of the classic photography spots in the area.

10:30–11:30
Drive to Xingping Town.

11:30–13:30
About two hours of free time to wander the old streets, try local snacks, and have lunch at your own expense.

13:30–15:00
Board a local boat for a round-trip cruise on the Xingping section of the Li River (approximately 70–90 minutes). This stretch passes Xingping Fishing Village, the famous Yellow Cloth Shoal reflection, and the exact scenery printed on the back of the Chinese 20 RMB note.

15:00–16:00
Return by vehicle. Guests continuing to Yangshuo will be dropped off at the theater on West Street (西街戏楼), a central and easy-to-find location convenient for taxis.

16:00–17:30
Guests returning to Guilin continue and arrive in the city center.

The guide does not board the boat and will wait for you at the pier.

In peak season, boarding the boat may involve waiting in line.

Guests departing the same day will also be dropped off in the city center and make their own way to the high-speed rail station or airport. For same-day departures, we recommend flights after 20:00 and high-speed train departures after 19:30.
