Li Jiang river cruise to Yangshuo

We took at 4 hour river cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo. The river is lined with beautiful limestone mountains and caves. We had a traditional Chinese lunch with some fresh river fish. The fisherman ride their bamboo rafts up along side the boat and sell fresh fish daily. It was delicious! We ended our journey in Yangshuo a charming fishing village. We did lots and lots of exploring, shopping, eating, and drinking Tsing Tao beer. We had amazing Chinese food in Yangshuo. Our guide hooked us up with some spicy local cuisine. Chris and I rode bikes through the country side with a local guide. We wish we could have had another day here.



My pictures didn't turn out of the Liu Sanjie performance on the Li River. It was choreographed by the same guy who created the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics, Zhang Yimou. It was spectacular and all done on the river! I found these pictures on the web. They hardly do it justice.
