Yangdi to Xingping scenic area
This stretch along the Li River is probably the most renowned and popular. There are river cruises available and in fact, the Guilin-Yangshuo boat ride passes through this area. There is also a 5 or 6 hour track for easy hiking along the Li River. The walk is a far more peaceful way to enjoy the Li River and mountain scenery than the loud noisy boat down the river. It takes you along the pebbly shores of the river, through many small villages, fields and bamboo forests. If you get tired, you can always rent a bamboo raft to float down the river.
