Karst River Blueprint The 83-kilometer Li River drift between Guilin and Yangshuo cuts through the most surreal limestone karst peaks on Earth. Here is how to pick the right boat pier, send your luggage ahead to Yangshuo, and trade noisy motorized rafts for silent hand-poled bamboo drifts on the Yulong River.
Possible vehicles: 5-Seat SUV / 7-Seat Van. Confirm availability with the provider.
Mopanshan Pier is 28 km outside Guilin with no metro access, and hauling 28-inch suitcases off the boat onto Yangshuo West Street cobblestones is exhausting.
Listings, prices, inclusions, shopping stops and cancellation policies vary. Confirm all terms with the provider before booking.
