About this activity
Explore Yangshuo's stunning karst landscape on a private 9-hour adventure combining cycling through rural valleys, a traditional cormorant-fishing boat experience on the Li River, and authentic local cuisine. This comprehensive day tour captures the region's most photogenic scenery—dramatic limestone peaks, emerald paddy fields, and riverside villages—all with personalised guide service and hotel transfers included.
There are many fabulous Karst mountains and paddy fields in Yangshuo. This private full day tour in Yangshuo will let you ride the bike to Moon Hill along the Yulong River, and enjoy the amazing landscape on bike, and take a local boat on the Li River in Xingping. Tasty local lunch, bike, boat, entrance fees, private guide and transfer services are all inclusive.
Itinerary
At 8:00 am, your guide will meet you at your hotel lobby in Yangshuo, then you will ride a bike along the country road towards the Yulong River. You will enjoy the impressive river and karst mountains view on the bike.
Shilihualong means the picturesque area along the Yulong River in Yangshuo. Enjoy the nice view by bike along the Karst mountains and river.
Then you will enjoy the local Chinese lunch.
This afternoon, you will take a car ride to Xingping, where you will take a local boat to view the best section of the Li River, which looks like traditional Chinese painting.
Later, you will be transferred back to your Yangshuo hotel where the tour concludes.
