The 83-kilometer-long segment of the Li River in the middle of Guilin and Yangshuo is the most wonderful. The waterway scene is enhanced with startling slopes, steep bluffs, and cultivating towns, and is lined with bamboo forests.
The Li River was recorded as one of the "World's Top Ten Watery Wonders" by America's National Geographic Magazine. A few world well known figures have gone by the Li River, including previous US Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush (senior), and Bill Gates.
