Li River 100km Hike
The Li River 100km hike is not just a trek; it’s a pilgrimage for nature lovers and cultural explorers. It’s where China’s most iconic karst landscape unfolds before you, step by step.
Key Highlights:
The Yangshuo Essence: Walk from Yangdi to Xingping, passing the actual viewpoint of the "Twenty Yuan Banknote" and the legendary Nine-Horse Fresco Hill.
Village Life: Traverse ancient towns, lush rice paddies, and quiet villages, sharing paths with local fishermen and water buffalo.
Multi-Modal Adventure: Combine hiking with sections of bamboo rafting or cycling for a varied pace and perspective.

This journey challenges your body but rewards your soul. Waking up to river mist and ending days in the glow of sunset over pinnacle hills, you’ll experience why "East or west, Guilin landscape is best!" – and Yangshuo is its crowning jewel.
