    "160 yuan per person, including the cost of the shuttle bus. (Need to buy online one hour in advance. If you buy on the spot, it is 198 yuan per person), locals have other discounts. The rafting time is about 50 minutes, and no photos are allowed in the middle, because it is not safe to drift. Only in several of the platform segments can take pictures. Several parts of the location are better, and there are photographers who take pictures. After the game, you can choose on the right side of the ticket office. It is ten yuan per piece. Voluntary purchase is not mandatory. The rafting feels very exciting. During the rafting process, the clothes will be all soaked, so please remember to bring your own clothes. There is free ginger tea and shower, but there is no toiletries, you need to bring your own. Pure natural and non-artificial, and the feeling of the amusement park is different, it is recommended to try."

    "20230314 In the afternoon: 1. "Xingping Wharf" is located on the banks of the "Lijiang River" in the 5A scenic spot. The Lijiang River is a landmark landscape scenic spot in Guilin. The essence of Guilin's landscape is the shooting location of famous movies and TV dramas such as the 1999 edition of 20 yuan background and "Liu Sanjie". Its "Baili Gallery"-like karst landscape is the world's natural cultural heritage, and it is a must-check scenic spot for Guilin tourism. History has left the footprints of celebrities such as Sun Yat-sen, Ye Jianying, Xu Beihong, Clinton and his wife Hillary. The Lijiang River belongs to the Pearl River water system. The 100-kilometer area has been developed from the north to Guilin City near the Jiefang Bridge, south to Yangshuo County, and another section at the junction of Lingqu and Xiangjiang River at the north end, accounting for nearly half of the total length of the Lijiang River. ① Address: Xingping Ancient Town, Yangshuo County, Guilin City. ② Transportation: Direct bus access, easy to stop by car. ③ peak season: no. ④ Duration: 5 hours. 2. The Lijiang section from Guilin Cruise Terminal to Yangshuo is about 60 kilometers long, one-way 4.5 hours, one-way no round-trip, so you have to take a bus from Yangshuo back to Guilin, or if you are free to travel, you will use the Lijiang River as the last stop in Guilin City. After Yangshuo is over, go directly north to other counties and cities. There are two departure piers: "Mopanshan Pier" (three-star cruise ship) and "Zhujiang Pier" (four-star cruise ship). Since Guilin has not rained for 5 months, the Lijiang River has been cut off into several big lakes, so this time I could not take a cruise to visit the Lijiang River. I could only find a day trip product on Trip.com to take a bus to the "Xingping Wharf" near the "Xingping Wharf" in Xingping Ancient Town. After a circle, return to Xingping Pier and then take the bus back to Guilin. 3, 6, soon to 20 yuan background photo place, but unfortunately the cruise ship parked in the West Bank, the correct docking position, the photo point of the year should be the East Bank, so the effect of the shooting is somewhat different from the RMB background, because it is a public cruise ship can not change. When the cruise ship docks here, tourists can board the cruise ship roof to shoot, sometimes other cruise ships will block, so it is a test of luck. The river here is crystal clear, and there are long-length phoenix bamboos planted. It is said that when Premier Zhou visited the Lijiang River in 1965, he thought that there were some monotonous proposals to plant on the shore. In addition, the grandfather on the RMB bamboo raft and Liu Sanjie played Huang Wanqiu died a short time ago, some regret. 4. The bamboo raft pier is opposite the background photo of 20 yuan, driving towards the north side of Xingping Wharf, and many handsome men and women on the east bank take pictures and wedding photos on the bamboo raft, becoming a beautiful scenery."

Take a boat trip on the Li River to see the reflections of strange peaks, clear water and green mountains, and quaint rural homes.

The beauty of the mountains on the Li River lies in the reflections.
