Yulong River

Beautiful and mystic is the word! Day time its full of tourist rafts that carry two persons a time down the river. Night time the whole scenery turns mystic. Beauty of the majestic hills adds extra to the whole scene.

Great place and infrastructure. Very easy to go around and has walking and bicycle paths. Not very wild as it seems and feels a bit touristic at times so if you prefer something wilder not the ideal place for you.

Yulong River – A Dreamlike Escape Yulong River is truly like a scene from a movie. The breathtaking landscape, with its towering karst mountains, lush greenery, and peaceful villages, feels almost unreal. The water is a stunning shade of blue, reflecting the sky and surrounding nature like a perfect painting. No matter where you stand, every angle offers a picture-perfect view. Whether you’re cruising on a bamboo raft or simply walking along the riverbanks, the scenery is mesmerizing. The atmosphere is calm and serene, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. If you’re visiting Yangshuo, Yulong River is an absolute must-see. It’s not just a place to explore—it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

Another highlight for us of our tour of Guilin is the Yulong river cruise. We were provided rafts instead of boats. The rafts were modified so that we could sit comfortably. The raftsman steered the raft expertly. The scenery was so beautiful and serene. The ever present karst hills were prominent wherever we looked.

One of the more beautiful and well known places in Guilin. You can get a classic scenic look of the Guilin mountains and waters. Many will recommend getting a raft and a motor cycle to see the scenery which you can do but is not necessary. Some of the best views can be seen on the bridges.

So much beauty here, peaceful and quiet Makes one appreciate nature's beauty

The path along the Yulong River is one of the nicest stretches of scenic beauty there is.

This river is great place but they took advantage and commercialised everything around it.
